I finally had a doe kindle! She is a Jersey Wooly and she just had 3 babies last night. My first impressions are that they are doing well. I have some concerns though. 1. I never see her in the nest box. Does she slip in there from time to time to feed them when I'm not around? 2. I have...

Hi. Was wondering if anyone could (would?) share their experiences with criteria for culling Jersey Wooly jrs.

I have these Jersey Woolies I'm trying to breed. Bred one doe twice today and he did the deed both times no problem. Bred another doe today and the first time she lifted great and he bred her. The second time she got aggressive and actually attacked the buck. I don't leave rabbits together...

I bred my female jersey Wooly exactly one month ago today. She started pulling hair and building a nest yesterday. She has pulled out A LOT OF HAIR! When can I expect kits? I checked on her at lunch and she is just hanging out outside the nest box. I have never bred rabbits before so I...

I just noticed my Jersey Wooly Jr doe has long, protruding bottom tooth. I was hoping to show her but not sure now. Is there anything that can be done to fix this? She is not very old, maybe 5 months.<br /><br />__________ Tue Apr 02, 2013 10:58 pm __________<br /><br />Okay. Found out this...

What lind of electric shears are good for shearing an angora or Jersey Wooly? I tried some shears I use on my Golden Retriever and failed.

I'm new to showing rabbits. I'm worried that when my rabbit kindles I won't know which ones to keep and which ones to sell. I was hoping to take them to a show or two as older jrs and put them through a few judges and then decide. Is there a rule against the number of rabbits I can show of my...

I have a jr female Jersey Wooly that has had some bad hair issues lately. This is our first Jersey Wooly so we didn't know what to expect with the hair care. We combed her a week after we got her, then I had a long stretch of work and we didn't groom her for a couple of weeks. She began to...

I keep my rabbits in a garage. Although there are two windows with blinds, the blinds are closed during the day. It is kinda dark in there all day. I do cut on lights when I get home for about 4 hours. Is being in semi-darkness during the day going to negatively effect the rabbits?

Hi. I'm new to showing rabbits, as many of you already know. I was wondering about when it is okay to keep multiple rabbits in one cage at the rabbitry. I think the young rabbits fair okay, up to maybe six months (correct me if I'm wrong). Most of the folks I've seen keep one adult rabbit...

Looking to purchase show/brood-quality Jersey Woolies. I live in Tifton, GA. I've already contacted some of you privately. Just want to know who is out there that is near enough for me to get some of these rabbits. I can pick up some at the upcoming show in Perry, Georgia (Feb 16th). Please...

Is there a time of year that is better for breeding rabbits? I've heard daylength can affect this.

How do you order from TTT? Will they e-mail me a catalog? I want to get some stuff from them at a GA show.

What do you feed your show rabbits, or is is this an "ancient Chinese secret"? ;) I have Mana Pro I keep in the feeders and I give them a handful of T&A hay once a day.

I purchased a registered brood doe at a show recently. I want to breed her to a nice buck (if I can find one). I have made a contact or two on some stud bucks, nothing solid. How do most people handle the stud rabbit thing? I don't mind paying a stud fee and I really just want to take my doe...

I purchased a new brood doe yesterday and her nails are really long. My daughter and I don't like handling her due to the extra long, bear-like nails. Is the quick gonna be further out on these long nails? She is a chestnut agouti and has darker nails, so it is harder to see.

How many of you use resting boards in your wire-bottom cages? Should I worry about rabbits getting sore hocks?

Hi. I purchased a 2.5 year old mini lop breeding doe at a show yesterday. I haven't noticed her eating or drinking anything. I have the food she was eating for her former owner. I also am offering her T&A hay. I guess it is too soon to worry, but that is what I do. When should I worry?

Well I'm back home from my first rabbit show. I'm a little overwhelmed with all I've learned and the people I've met. Met some folks I've conversed with on this forum. My daughters mini lop buck came in first place for mini lop broken jr buck in the first show and second in the second show...

I'm trying to decide on a breed or two of rabbit my kids can show. I already have a mini lop and a Holland lop. Not sure I'm gonna stick with Hollands. I'd like to know some pros and cons of the Jersey Wooly. My daughter loves grooming animals, and she may take to this breed.
