Thanks Sky, should I just leave the nest box in or remove it and place on day 30? __________ Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:43 pm __________ Gahh on day 28 not sure where the 30 came from.

Has anyone else had a rabbit mustache like a week or more early? I tossed the nest box in but idk? She is at like 21 days. The other doe bred on the same day is just acting normal, munching hay. This is my odd doe though so I don't know if I should be concerned or not?

Hey Joe, I have a couple of worm bins in my basement and I don't recall if I found it here or elsewhere but I just take an ice cream pail or any bucket and soak the berries for a few hours. Then strain the water off and add directly to the worm bin. No problems so far. Well except 1. I've found...

Ok thanks all. I guess I'll just have to wait a couple months and see.

hmm ok lol I think it makes sense now. The guy who sold them to me, I asked "So if I decide later on I want to introduce new gene lines do you recommend anything?" he replied "Anything but rex" lol I wonder if he introduced some and has had a hard time getting rid of the genes? Mine are for...

So my second (ever) litter was born just shy of a few weeks ago and the hair type on most of the bunnies is not at all like my first litter or litters I've seen others post pics of. Pic two the bunny is very curly short hair and the back of the neck area is somewhat sparse. Sorry for the bad...

That's exactly the description I was looking for, like a wrinkly shar pei lol

Thank you everyone. I'll take a closer look at them tonight while reading through this thread ;o) and I'll post a pic or two once they've grown some fur and opened their eyes. __________ Tue Dec 18, 2012 7:20 pm __________ So after taking a closer look than I had time for this morning there...

Thanks 3mina. Yes it is her first. I really don't want to give up on her. More just a case of the new rabbit litter owner freaking out and inexperienced. I don't want to lose/kill the bunnies because I didn't do the right thing or worse did the wrong.

I posted yesterday nest-box-location-t11702.html about the mother using the nest box for her bathroom, well I convinced her it was a nest by cleaning it again and again and shading that portion of the cage so its dark. She started mustaching and putting hay in the nest, within 2 hours she had...

That's sweet. I totally missed it until I knew there was something to look for.

Very epic 1k! Lol

Much thanks. The wisdom is appreciated. I'll see how she does this breeding and fc or not.

Today is day 29 for her. My last litter, first litter for me, went flawlessly. The doe had a straw mustache the second night, started pulling fur the third (day 30) and had her babies that night/early the next morning. This second doe just goes to the bathroom in it. I'll try as you suggest and...

Yeah, I've been asking myself how many of these 2 litters I'll keep lol. At least I'm supporting a usa business (bass eq) ;)

So I placed a nest box in my doe's (Natalie) cage yesterday. I wasn't really sure where to place it... She poops in the left back mostly but pees in left back, right back, left front.... The least pee area is right back. Beyond changing my cages door swing, bass eq inward swing, I figured I'd...

I just wanted to chime in that I prefer winter with the dry air that evaporates urine. I got my trio in late August and they've been in the basement ever since in Minnesota. August, September, and the first half of October was fairly brutal with the smell with 2-3 weekly tray cleanings. Since...

Hi Florida_Native, just wanted to say thanks for the topic. I'm a new/first litter owner and didn't know exactly when the nest box should be removed either.

If harlequin's are tri-colored then yes he is. I really just know enough to keep them alive, well so far. The colors and breeds are over my head. If I was asked to pick out which bunny is a lop or a lionhead I "might" pass. lol If anyone is able to hazard a guess I'd appreciate it. They are...

I forgot I had a couple of mediocre pictures in my email. So what say the experts? Truely NZ or are the dark ears on Natalie an indication of a little californian thrown in? ;)
