I don't have a pic, and posting pics is a awkward, so I'll try to describe. Doe is NZW rescue with 3 surviving kits, 1 broken black and 2 self black. On closer inspection, 2 black kits are ticked black/dark brown and have faint rings. Under belly is very dark charcoal grey, no white markings...

:? I have a 1 year old buck who lost weight over our long, cold winter. Everyone else similarly affected has bounced back no problem. He has free choice pellets, rolled oats and BOSS, eats well and is very active; seems very healthy but is about 2lbs under weight (he is a satin x NZW). I...

My quest to understand colour genetics is ongoing, and I appreciate the greater wisdom of our members! I am interested in working out the genotypes of my past and present herd, to better predict future results (I'm aiming for chinchillas). So here's what we have so far: Orchid (chestnut...

Do you use paste wormer or injectable? Oral, topical, IM, or Sub Q? How many mg/unit of body weight? Thanks! :all-ears:

Sorry, I couldn't upload pix. Here's a link to my "bucks and does" page; http://riverhavenrabbits.weebly.com/bucks-and-does.html Posing with one hand and photographing with the other was awkward, :x :bunnyhop: hopefully you will be able to see them well enough.. Any comments are...

A young doe i sold as a brood prospect has been a model mum, until today. She has killed 3 of her 8 kits today. :o They are 17 days old, what the (expletive) is going on?!? Help, please!

My pet mini-lop doe is about a year and a half old, and is normally very cuddly. When come home, she clamors for me to pick her up for a snuggle. She had a male companion for a while, of whom she was very fond, but he sprouted a dental abscess and had to be put down. So, she could be...

I have a .22cal pellet gun, max. muzzle velocity is 460 fps (500 fps is legal max in Canada). Do I aim for the top of the spine, at the base of the skull; or the centre of an "x" drawn between the eyes and ears? I have to dispatch a holland lop today. This one was a house pet. :(

I've got a little holland lop buck, who is a rescue, found hopping down the road late at night. He was thin on arrival, but fattened up nicely in quarantine. Now that he's in the house with my mini lop doe, he's lost weight again. He does eat and drink, and doesn't appear ill, just skinny...

I noticed the little house lop buck had some nasty mats in his groin and under his jaw. The skin looked tender, and they didn't pluck out easily, so I clipped them out. It was only after admiring my handiwork, that I realized I had just "man-scaped" a rabbit. :shock: :oops: :lol...

Just curious, if I crossbreed the two, if I could expect any interesting coat types? Can a rabbit have 2 genes for Rex, and for Satin, or are they mutually exclusive?

Anyone going to Burls creek buy sell & trade day - sept. 29? I want to buy a satin chinchilla doe, my second choice would be an American chinchilla doe.

BG/ I have 2 rescue lops in separate cages in my kitchen, a doe and a buck. I allow them to run loose 1 at a time. The little buck spends a lot of time studying the does cage set-up, lol. /end BG It's midnight here, and I was in bed, when i noticed a lot of "busy bunny" noises from the...

I could pick up at the DRCBA show in Barrie on Aug 25, if anyone is going and has breeding stock for sale.

Mom is chestnut agouti, Flemish Giant(tort) and NZW cross Dad is satin Chinchilla with pretty blue eyes We have 10 kits, 4 look like mom, 4 look like dad, and 2 REW who are starting to develop grey points. 2 of the chinchilla kits look kinda shiny, like dad. Is that even possible if mom isn't...

Quick background : got 2 young rabbits this winter, the buck started sneezing and I eventually culled him. The doe has shown absolutely no signs of sneezing or discharge, so I kept her. Got a new buck, who seems perfectly healthy, and bred her. Kits are 3 weeks old, seem healthy, and are...

My NZ x Flemish doe had her first litter this morning, 5 fat, squirmy little popples! :P She built a huge hay nest, and stuffed it with lots of fur, then hid it with more hay. :) Everything looks good so far. She's being an over- protective, neurotic first-time mom, so I'll get pics...

There are so many names for the colours, plus figuring out the genotype, the more I read the more confused I get. :cry: I have a doe who is brown with black ticking, there are rings of colour when you blow on the fur, and she has a white underside & eye rings. Is she a chocolate agouti...

Bred first time buck and doe today, she's definitely female, and vulva is swollen and reddish. He mounted, she presented to him, and he proceeded with great enthusiasm. Bad aim, but he gets extra points for effort, :lol: After having her hip vigorously humped for a few moments, she wriggled...

Well, I did it. I sent my first rabbit to freezer camp. I decided to do it with a blow to the back of the head, as I had been advised. Not good. It was not the quick, clean kill I wanted for my animals. I feel like a monster :( I won't describe it, but it was awful. I'm going to...
