Okay...Back up. Your doe is throwing her kits around?! Is that because she is due to have another litter and is that what a doe might do in that situation? (See, I rely on RT for information such as this too.) ;) I have a doe with 3-week old kits and I'm pretty sure she is pregnant. If you...

Thanks for this post from a year ago. My doe who isn't due for another 13 days has started to build a nest and pulled oodles of fur. I was alarmed to see what she was doing until I read the original post and all the helpful comments that followed. I am 99.9% sure there was no hanky panky other...

I am seeing quite a bit of this with my 4-week old Holland Lops and I trimmed their bottoms to keep them clean. Even though I've accepted that some sticky poo is normal, I think that feeding the old-fashioned oatmeal probably adds to the problem. I know they love the oatmeal but I suggest you...

I knew I had a cute picture of a dish sitting bunny and came upon it by chance today. Actually, it goes on all the time with my baby Hollands and there are probably more pictures but this one will do for now. Here it is

I would like to hear the responses you get to this very good question. I must say I haven't seen it work that way with the few does I've got but I seemingly have one with no motherly instincts who hasn't been successfully bred to date. If the responses are favorable I will move her closer to the...

I've also seen red/orange urine but not since the summer. I am quite sure that this was blood...very dark, red blood. It's been almost a week since the last incident and I'm hopeful that I won't see it again. I am about to visit the site suggested by MamaSheepdog and will try to follow one or...

I have a Holland Lop doe that kindled on December 6th. I was on hand to see that she was having trouble and when I pulled the nestbox closer to have a look, there was a lot of blood on the floor of the cage. I wasn't sure if she was finished but had to remove her to have a look and I found 2...
