Good evening, Unfortunately, this winter is proving to be troublesome for my rabbits. They're in outdoor hutches, but we were unable to get one rabbit hutch finished in time for winter so that hutch has a tarp covering the back, a wooden roof, and wooden sides. Due to lack of space in our small...

Does anyone know what I’d get if I bred a broken black to a Gold-Tipped (black) steel? Also, broken black to chinchilla? And finally, would you recommend breeding my broken black buck to either of those colors or am I better off with a black? I’d love some fun colors but I also am breeding for...

Hey guys! It's been a while. My rabbits honestly haven't been doing great, with DQs and a recent mystery death, but I'm plugging along and just trying to keep them all happy and healthy right now. Anyway, I have this doe with a lot of issues, but she's my best show Wooly (of course) so I've...

I apologize in advance for the very long post. So I have Jersey Woolies, Velveteen Lops and a Mini Lop. It's really hard to find a feed that will work for all of my rabbits. Kent worked pretty good; the issue was my fur condition wasn't as good as I'd like, but I didn't have many other options...

Hello, I raise Jersey Woolies and I'm looking at getting a gorgeous Pointed White Jersey Wooly doe at Nationals. All I have is black otter, so she'd be bred to my black otter buck eventually, if I decide to purchase her. Is breeding a black otter to a pointed White a no-no? What colors would I...

My little brother's Dwarf Hotot rabbit has been dewormed and has been fed 3/4 of a cup to try to get him to gain his weight back, but it is not working. This happened after we switched feeds. He is really skinny, but there's nothing else wrong with him: he's a little less energetic but I...

First of all, I won 3rd runner up in the MSRBA Royalty Contest! I was told the competition was very close. I was the youngest one to try out, though so I'm going to try again next year for sure. Anyway, onto the point of this post. :D I am trying really hard this year to make my Jersey Wooly...

Hi, ya'll! I have been unbelievably busy with 4-H, band, rabbits, my one college class with a ton of homework, on top of regular high school work (I'm dual-enrolling), so I haven't been online very much. But, I recently (on Saturday) was able to purchase a pair of Velveteen Lops!! I'm super...

Is basically all of the diatomaceous earth the same? I am hoping to use it around the rabbit hutches to reduce flies/mosquitoes/etc. but I would also love to use it on the rabbits if possible. Would that work? I found this brand at TSC. Thoughts?

I have a 2 month old Jersey Wooly doe I'm very excited to breed. At first, I wasn't in a hurry; I was planning on breeding her around late September so she'd be around 6 months. Now, I've found a way for me to go to convention, which starts October 1st. Her birthday is April 28th, so she'd only...

You may know that I was considering acquiring a Velveteen Lop rabbit to see if I like them. Well, ironically enough, a breeder I'd been contemplating purchasing from recently messaged me saying he had this tri buck for sale, that he was selling the buck for about $100 less than I'd expect to...

This has been a pretty odd 6 months for me. Mixed ups and downs; roller coaster style. :x We'll make a reallly long story short and say: I'm trying not to lose my best friend of 14 years. She's made some choices I and everyone else around her don't approve of, and I really hope we can make it...

So I've been showing more. And I noticed something. My Jersey Woolies consistently progress and sell well. My Mini Lops.. not so much. There are SO MANY Mini Lop breeders EVERYWHERE where I am. So competition is insane, and I am having problems selling.. then again, I do have all bucks which...

Hi! I have a small rabbitry (25 rabbits, only 7 adults) in a suburban area, with lots of neighbor kids. So far I have had no problem with the neighbors and our small petting zoo. But now I have a cull rabbit (nasty little piece of snot) and I've never culled a rabbit (or any animal for that...

Yesterday morning I went to feed my favorite buck (of course it's the best buck I own) and he was not eating. He has a history of digestive problems so I gave him 2 papaya enzyme tablets (GNC brand) and gave him some ProBios. He wasn't drinking so I force fed him water, than dissolved pellets in...

Hey guys! Things are certainly hoppin' at my place right now. I have a litter of four Mini Lop babies recently weaned, six weeks old. (Anybody want a bunny?) I have a litter of EIGHT for my first time Mini Lop mom! Technically she had nine, but I had a really really tiny kit that died. It was...

Does anyone know where I can find a rabbit friendly scale, new or used, or how to rabbitize a normal scale? I have a little kitchen scale or a regular flat floor scale for people, would either work somehow? I can't weight my rabbits in the tiny basket that fits on the kitchen scale anymore, and...

Hello! Just wanted to share a few bits of news. Life has been extremely eventful these past weeks. For one, we moved to a new MUCH BIGGER house, which was simply a huge blessing and almost exactly what we've been looking for all along. The yard is smaller, but still enough to raise rabbits and...

Hi everyone. I'm trying to learn more about genetics but I'm not at all proficient yet, so I was wondering if someone could help me out with my breeding trio's genotypes? The buck is solid chocolate. His sire was solid seal and his dam was Broken black steel. He also has Broken chinchilla, GTS...

Hi all, it's been awhile! My rabbitry is pretty stagnant right now: no babies, no new bunnies (yet!). But I'm preparing for a show in a couple of weeks, so today I dragged all the bunnies out and clipped their nails, groomed, and gave them checkups. My best show doe (of course), was unusually...
