So it's day 31 for both my does. Both have been digging around today. One in her box the other in a corner of her cage. The one that has been ignoring her box is in a flat bottomed pet cage. Hold over from when we were in our condo. Anyhoo it doesn't matter if she ignores the nestbox...

Okay so I don't have baby bunnies yet, but I'm hopeful. So my question to you is: do you discontinue feeding forage while you have baby bunnies in with the mom? Bob Bennett makes it sound like the moment a young rabbit eats anything green it'll die due to the shock to it's system. But...

I will be at both shows for at least one day. If anyone else will be there I'd love to meet you and put faces to names. We'll have three Lilacs up in OK and four or five in Killeen. Apparently I've been bitten by the show bug... :cheer2:

He won two Best in Breed ribbons. It was a hollow victory however since he was the only one there that was a Lilac. Tried to explain it to my son but he was too excited to really comprehend. That and he's seven. To him a win is a win.

How much do you handle popples? I've heard you shouldn't touch them and I've heard some people handle them daily. I was thinking that daily handling would get them to be much easier to handle when they're adults. But I don't want the doe to freak out either. I also want to weigh them weekly...

This morning when I did the rabbit chores my doe Mabel was standing there with a haystache! I'm so fricking excited!!! I didn't think she had bred because her personality hadn't changed and she had no reaction to the buck when he was put back in a week later. I've been putting that poor buck...

Will anyone be attending this show? Going to go and wander around and soak up some knowledge.

We're picking up two Californian does on Wednesday. They were 4 H meat penners. We still have our Lilac pair but they haven't done anything yet. Going to try our buck with the Cali does before we spend $$ on any more Lilacs. If he does mate successfully with the Cals we'll know it's the...

This is Horace our new Lilac buck. We're just starting to learn to pose, more getting him used to being on a table then anything else. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!

We're going to be going to our rabbits' first show in Antelope Valley. North of LA, south of Bakersfield. We might be the only Lilacs there but we'll have fun and get a judges opinion on the fuzzies. Will anyone else be there? I'd love to chat in person. :bunnyhop:

Okay we went and picked up my son's two Lilacs on Saturday. It was an 11 hour round trip but it went pretty well. Got them home and put them both in the does cage. They will be 12 weeks on next Sunday (the 23rd) and the breeder still had them together so I wasn't worried about an accidental...

Ok so the breeder has a litter of 4 (2 bucks and 2 does)Lilacs. The plan was to JUST pick up a buck and then later in the summer pick up a doe from an unrelated line. Both lines come from a larger breeder here on the west coast. So they're related just not brother sister related. Anyway the...

We are just starting out in Lilacs. Pick up our first one on the 15th (a buck) and then a doe in August. The buck will be 11 weeks when we pick him up and the doe would be 8 wks. Yes she's not born yet, but their were no available does at this time so we're hoping the next litter will have...
