I haven't been on rabbittalk in a very long time... but I know how helpful everyone can be. I just had an adult rabbit (Zodiac) die last night. I found him this morning, and it looks like he had diarrhea. :( He was perfectly normal just yesterday. So, I'm thinking it is coccidiosis. I will be...

How do you know when your does reach maturity and can be bred? I've always just waited a long time- 6 months or so- but I have a doe (Silver Fox) that I want bred as soon as possible. She's a little over 4 months old. With bucks, it's obvious when their parts drop out. But with does, I have no...

So, I want to breed my proven doe (she's had 2 litters) to my buck who hasn't had any successful breedings. They were bred a month ago, but it was unsuccessful (he mounted 3 times, never fell off. I thought maybe it took, so I waited, and now I know she's not pregnant.) The doe's privates are...

My Ink Blot x Jasper litter is 8 weeks old today! They are all pedigreed, black Silver Fox. There are 3 bucks and 1 doe. These were raised on a no-pellet diet. They live in an outdoor colony set-up. They're socialized- I've yet to meet a rabbit that enjoys being picked up, but these guys do...

So, at 7 weeks and 1 day old, my Silver Fox kits weigh: (the doe I'm keeping)- 2.64lbs (buck)- 2.5lbs (doe)- 2.49lbs (buck)- 2.46lbs (buck)- 2.33lbs They are gaining .5lbs a week, I think. They grew up on a completely pellet-free natural diet. Is that a good weight? I know that since they are...

On facebook, someone wanted me to write an article/file thing on natural feeding. It's two pages long. The format on here (indention, font size, and font type) is a little different than on the actual file. So, what do you all think of this? Missing or incorrect info, grammar mistakes...

So, can you all help me evaluate this SF buck? He's mature and proven. His fur quality is wonderful- sooooo soft and silky and stands up perfect- and he has a mellow personality, but I have 3 bucks now and that's too many for the amount of does I want to have.... I do have the space to keep...

I don't show, so can someone help me evaluate the type of this blue SF? I know blue is not an accepted show color, and he has too light silvering. He has amazing fur quality!! Super, super soft, and stands up perfectly straight. Anyway, can you guys help me evaluate his type? Here he is...

I'm so excited- I bought a blue, pedigreed Silver Fox today! He's a buck, and I'm getting a doe in July-ish. I can't wait until he's old enough to breed. I'm going to find out who carries the dilute gene, and then breed to get blue bunnehs! Plus, he has more ancestor show rabbits with winnings...

So, today I noticed some brown crusty-stuff on my 2week old kits. It came off pretty easy, but it didn't just fall off. All but one kit had barely any on their noses. One kit had a bit more. Is it just dirt? Their nest is on the ground, and they love burrowing (of course- they're rabbits!). I've...

I'm debating with myself about whether to set up a facebook page for my rabbitry. I don't have a facebook personally... I already have a website. I sell rabbits for show/meat breeding, show rabbits (but I don't show), and for raw feeders. Occasionally for pet, but I don't really like selling...

I'm looking for a pedigreed blue Silver Fox doe and a pedigreed blue Silver Fox buck. I really want blue SF, but if you have chocolate/lilac SF that are good quality, I'm interested in those colors too! I have a pedigreed, heavily silvered, proven, 1 year and 2 month old SF buck that I'm...

Could someone post pictures of what rabbits' organs are supposed to look like? I think that sticky thread of the pictures of diseases is very helpful, but I'd love to have something to compare to. It would help spot anything wrong, even if there was nothing suspected of being wrong. Thanks in...

I'm not sure what these plants are. Can you guys help me ID them? Plant 1: The plant is a little fuzzy. Plant 2: Hen bit Lamium amplexicaule Plant 3: purple deadnettle Lamium purpureum Plant 4: I think it's called "wild sage" around here, but I'm not sure... Plant 5: the plant is a...

So, I was planning on breeding my doe today. Yesterday, I noticed she was building a nest. I thought it must be a false pregnancy, since both bucks are safely in their hutches. No bucks have ever been in her run. However, she's still building a nest today. Usually (at least, in the 2 previous...

I don't show, but I do like to know what my rabbits' ancestors have won. On my rabbits' pedigrees, some ancestors have little notes about the winnings. I know what it means to win a leg, and I know that BOB means best of breed. But, what does "BSR", "SRFX", and "Blnt" mean? Thanks!

I had some trouble keeping track of my SF litter as they grew up. I got 2 of the 3 bucks mixed up :oops: ... so, I want to start tattooing (unless anyone knows of a non-tattoo way to ID their rabbits?). How old are your rabbits when you tattoo them? I want to be able to distinguish between...

Last weekend, I posed all 5 of my kits and their father. Could you all give me some feed back about my posing? And also about their type? I don't show, but would like to be able to evaluate type. There's a slideshow in the middle of this page: http://thewabbitwarren.webs.com/for-sale And here...

Hello everyone! I posed and took pictures of my kits last week (they would've been about 10weeks old). I don't show, but I want to learn how to evaluate the rabbits like the judges do. Could someone look at the pictures (follow the link) in the slideshow, and tell me if I posed them right? I'm...

I updated my website. I've had it for a while, but I just now finalized it because I have a litter ready to be sold. :P What do you guys think? www.thewabbitwarren.webs.com
