I have a wonderful small herd of meat mutts that has done very well for me. But, we are moving in a few months and my freezer is already full. I'd LOVE to pass them on to someone who will appreciate them as the good producers they are. 2 proven does that will be 2 years old at the end of...

We are possibly moving to Alaska in the next 6-9 months. (all the way from central NY!) Just wondering if there is anyone out there who would like to offer some advice on the area and any challenges you face specifically for raising meaties up there. We won't be able to bring our current herd...

In a litter of five, I got two REWs, one suspected chocolate chestnut and two light kits. I thought they were blue chinchilla and blue harlequin...but now I'm thinking maybe lilac chin and lilac harlequin. I tried posting this on another rabbit board and got no opinions. They are 3 days old...

Can someone help me understand how the harlie gene "hides?" I have a doe that just had a litter 20 days ago. This doe had a dad that showed sparse harlie marks (which he got from a magpie daddy.) The doe from that litter and her littermates were visually clean. She's a squirrel and as far as...

I crossed a Champagne D'Argent with some of my lovely meat mutts and got 7 silvered chestnuts. They were gorgeous. But now I want to try to get other versions of silvered agoutis. I have the capability to work towards all colors of agouti and chinchilla (I have a squirrel doe carrying...

I have an okay understanding of bunny genetics... at least with the colors I've worked with in my own barn. But I find sable kind of confusing. So I just want to know what this cross would likely result in: Sable Buck (Jager) comes from a pure Silver Fox and a black mutt (black mutt had opal...

I don't know what to make of the recent bad luck I've had in my barn. Anyone have some insight to share? So, I *had* a herd sire (Bernie) who was a lynx mutt. I have a STELLAR doe, Daisy, who is beyond great. They produced a single litter together last winter. I kept two very promising...

Please share some pics of lilac chins on normal length coated bunnies (meaning not rex or angora.) :) It is DRIVING ME CRAZY that I think I might have some in my litter, but I am unable to find many pictures on the internet to compare them to. I know I have lynx and opal in my litter, and one...

So I'm interested in trying egg yolk tanning on some pelts, which I plan to use to make stuffed furry cat toys. I have read that when using egg yolk or brain tanning, that you should smoke the pelt after the process is done to keep mites away. Has anyone here used a handheld pistol smoker for...

I have a gorgeous litter of nine. Mom is Blue Chinchilla and Dad is Lynx (lilac agouti) They are 17 days old and I originally ruled out any chinchilla, since I assumed the Lynx dad wasn't likely to have a cchd hiding. But I began to notice some subtle differences in the coloring of some of...

Let's say I have a buck that is: AA bb cchdcchd Dd Eej - he's a harlequinized chocolate chinchilla and I pair him with a silver-tipped steel doe that is: AA B_ cchd_ D_ Es_ Could some of the kits express BOTH harlequinized markings AND steel tipping? Would the E locus of those kits simply...

So I have a very nice, meaty, gorgeous doe that I have been trying to breed. She's had 2 strikes for not allowing breeding/not getting pregnant. She was purchased as a proven doe, so she has successfully kindled and weaned a litter in the past. I've had her since the end of August. She DOES...

So... I have two of these, but this one is my "monster" as far as size... the biggest of all the kits. Anyway, I have another that is clearly a Siamese (black sallander) and has very dark ear lacing, dark swirls on the flanks, smoky gray all over the face, dark gray paws, etc. But this guy...

Latin name Tragopogon dubius. Looks like some kind of fat grass before it gets flower stalks, then flowers look like very large, tall dandelions. Anyone feed it to rabbits or know if it is considered safe? It's in the Asteraceae family and related to chicory. I've been offering a single...

Most of this litter are black torts. These guys are 11 days old and I think I'm looking at three different colors here, but I really need second, third, fourth opinions! Thanks in advance! And for reference, the single chocolate tort next to a regular black tort sibling: The mom is...

(See Bottom for 20 days old photos!) For the Satin breeders who have had various tort shades in your litters... I am not sure about what I see. These kits are 6 days old. I was EXPECTING to get black torts, chocolate torts, black Siamese and chocolate Siamese... Mama is a black tort...

This is a thread dedicated to Sallander colored rabbits. Please post pictures of YOUR SALLANDERS so we can all SWOON :lovers: :love: I'll start with my Chowder. and one of his baby photos: Let's try to keep the photos on this thread limited to Sallanders... but I'm all for opening...

My black tort doe got her adult coat in about a month ago. She's now 7 months old. I never noticed these lines in the other two satin torts I had previously (most likely they were not there.) What are they?

Valentine's Day will be bunny love day here! Here's my buck, Chowder, who is a Siamese Satin: So, Chowder is: aa Bb chl_ D_ ee (I know it's Bb because his mom was Chocolate/bb) And Anise, the ST Steel Satin is: Aa B_ chd_ Dd Es_ (Front/left, she came from a broken chin and a blue self -...

First... I'm looking at a GTS doe. I am told she came out of a Broken Chin mom and a Blue self dad. I *think* I can see how this is possible. If the GTS got a C from daddy, and a chd from mommy, the C overrides, right? To make the difference between the gold of a chestnut and the silver of...
