Sarah our REW had 10 kits yesterday. 1 still born. Out of the 9 kits there is one that is solid fawn colored, think of a deer, that is the color. Sarah is mainly chocolate/lilac lines on her sire's side and her Mom is a black with blues and blacks behind her. Sarah was bred to a broken caster...

My one Doe Sarah, mini rex, has a litter of 2 surviving that are almost 6 weeks old and are bigger than the other litter that is one week older. They are chubby little things, my dh says they have chipmunk cheeks. Isabella (other litter) weaned her kits about 2 weeks ago. They are already in a...

So Lola my last remaining beveran doe had wry neck a few months ago which was caused from an ear infection, we tested for everything else and it was negative. We finished her antibiotics up over a month or more ago along with panacur. Also was treated for ear mites. I did one more ear mite...

Deciding who to breed to who for next breedings and want to make sure my plans make sense. I am going to lay out aragon's pedigree so it is easier to see then trying to write it all out together. Bucks- Argyle- Brkn Castor, has all blacks and castors behind him. He is mainly McCabe lines...

Can I bring babies inside, leave the empty nestbox in the cage? The mini rexes are in premade cages, the doors are small. In order to get nestboxes in I removed a side of the cage. I knew when I did it that it was stupid, even had thought that I really should just cut the door opening bigger...

Help!!! Sarah had at least 1 kit. Now she is hopping around her care with one hanging out. It isn't moving. Coming out rear first so head and front legs still inside her. Do I just help at this point, just pull on the kit to get it out?

Our doe was due on Wednesday. She had a great nest she built, was doing great and then that morning the neighbors dogs decided to jump against the hutch and snap at her. I scared them off almost immediately but she was hopping like crazy trying to avoid them. Afterwards, she sat in a corner...

I am considering getting some NZ. I know a breeder who has whites, blacks, blues and reds. I know the reds are usually slightly smaller. How do the blacks and blues compare? I am trying to figure out if I should just stick to buying whites and wondering if I do get reds or blues if they are...

So, I finally got my Beveran doe to breed and she has built a glorious nest. She is due Wednesday. The beverans have been slightly frustrating and although we really like them I am begining to consider a different large breed. This litter will be a deciding factor I think. Also due on...

We are going to our first rabbit show on Sept 15, my 11 yr old wants to show one of the rabbits in the youth division. I am experienced with dog shows, Jr Handling and we have been watching various videos of kids practicing. I found this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ey-nSH8 ... re=related...

Went down to see husband in NC with the twins and our 11 yr old, took 1 just in case I see a great deal cage with me. I had emailed a breeder week ago Thursday evening, Friday she responds and I buy the rabbit (REW, pedigreed mini rex, 3 mo old) Saturday morning. So, I had 1 buck but no mini...

So, we are planning to take our Buck and maybe young doe to the NJ show in Sept. What size carrier is best for a Beveren- about the same size as Americans or New Zealands? All the carriers look so small to me. I was looking on Bass here http://www.bassequipment.com/Cages/Carr ... fault.aspx I...

So we are up to 100F. I have been doing the frozen water bottles, the frozen marble tiles and swapping them out, even got up at 4 am to swap tiles out since it didn't go below 90F last night. We are a good 25F degrees hotter than normal highs and lows so this has been an extreme temperature...

We are new to the world of showing rabbits and need some advice as far as teaching the rabbits to hold their pose or just stay in the pose they are put more than 1 second. :) We just bought a couple Beveren rabbits that are 4 months and 6 months old. They are friendly but the Doe just wants...
