    Are you sure she is not pregnant?

    For those of you who palpate your does, if you think your doe is open do you breed her right away? Are you at all concerned that maybe she was bred and breeding her again may cause 2 pregnancies?

    Feeding replacement stock?

    So how long do you free feed your replacement stock.? When I first started out, my rabbits were 8 weeks old and I was told to feed them 1 cup of feed a day so they wouldn't get fat. Later on I learned of a formula (pds of rabbits to ounces of feed, I think it was 1.5% or maybe 2% of body...

    Table breeding

    Well, I table bred two does today. I think. :? :? I checked each doe's vent and both seemed a darker pink than usual, but not the deep purple I have seen in the past with my other does. I've been trying to breed these two for 3 weeks with no luck, so I thought I would give table breeding a...

    Using the KBtattoo pen

    Well, I just got my new KBtat pen and was so excited to use it. It took me way longer than using a clamp style and I didn't do a very good job. The first time I wiped the excess ink away all I had were red out lines where the ink should have been. So I went back over the red marks and it was a...

    Palpation?

    I palpated my first rabbit today. She should be 2 weeks pregnant. I think I can feel one small grape sized something in there, but I'm not even sure I'm feeling in the right spot. Is there a diagram somewhere that shows you where to feel. I thought I saw a picture where someone had butchered a...

    More Rex color questions

    I'm going Sunday to look at some mini rex does and I'm trying to stay with the self colors which I believe are black, blue and chocolate.

    I bred my first doe

    Well I put my first NZ doe in with my NZ buck last night and all she did was run circles around him and made lots of noise. Poor guy couldn't even begin to keep up with her. So I put my second NZ doe in with him and he mounted her straight away and then fell off. I waited till he got her a...

I'm thinking of hanging 24x36 x18 cages from the ceiling and I'm not sure what the height should be. I would like to have cages with doors on the tops of...

    Cage Size

    Hi, I'm new here to the forum and have a question about cages. I'm looking at the Klubertanz cages. I'm thinking that the GAW would be the way to go as it would resist rust better than the not GAW. I'm also thinking of going with the 24'' x 30'' cages. I was looking at the 30'' x 30'' cages, but...
