I am very worried about my buck. I flipped him over and he retracted his testicles but the skin was still hanging and it was covered in small spots of waxy, sticky brown stuff. I tried pulling some out, but there are too many. It looks like poop but it’s deep in his skin. Anyone know what this...

I really don't know what color she is. At first I thought she was blue but she has patches of light grey/brown on her sides and chest. If it helps, she is out of a broken black x gold tipped black steel breeding. Can anyone tell me what she might be? (she is not posed correctly, but she is a...

I don't even have rabbits yet :-o but I like the sound of Moon Meadow Rabbits or Bayview Rabbitry. "Bayview" comes from the name of our property way back when and from the beautiful view of the mountains and ocean. :canada-fireworks: "Moon Meadow" is just something I randomly came up with :lol:

Thanks! Another concern did come to mind- here in Atlantic Canada we have pretty harsh winters. Would the waste simply freeze and have to be scraped out with a shovel?

Thanks for the input! The slant boards seem to be the best option for me, however I still have some questions about that. Does it fall into a bin of some sort or just onto the ground, and how would urine most efficiently drain? Okay great! Seems like a nice mini money maker :mrgreen:

Still (unfortunately) in the planning stage of my rabbitry, and a current question of mine is what are some good ways to manage waste for a small scale rabbitry? Do you prefer pans or bins or what? What is the easiest and most efficient way to deal with rabbit waste? And how should I dispose of...

I checked your website out and looked at the page; I'm officially obsessed with Mini Lops :lol: your MRs look nice too! For cages would 24 x 30 work for bucks/juniors and 24 x 36 for does with litters? Or do they need to be bigger? We have a big run we used for our hens so I'll definitely let...

Thanks :) Those sweet personalities are part of, if not the main reason I love these breeds! As far as I know the mini rex is more popular at shows in this area, I don't know too much about the demand but soft fur and lop ears both do pretty well. I have a few questions about Mini Lops - do...

Hey everybun, I'm trying to decide between raising either mini rex, mini lop, and/or lionhead. What is your advice, and is there a breed I'm really missing out on ;) ??

Let's get biased here for a minute and discuss how great our breeds are. ;) Just kidding, but I would like to see which breeds are good for what reasons as I will be getting some rabbits for a small scale show rabbitry in the future. Thanks! Thanks everyone for the replies! So far, in order...

Thanks for the links everyone! Yes I've seen some in BC but I'd like to find some near NS. Thanks! I'll email her to see what she has. That seems like a possibility I could consider, although I'd rather just pick them up at a show or something haha. Thanks! I have visited that website before...

Hi again, I was just wondering if anyone breeds or knows of any purebred Mini Lop breeders in Canada. I know there's a few in BC but I don't know if I'll be able to get over there lol.

Thanks! I do think it's smart to start smaller. Just to clarify, I'd be breeding up to two does at a time for quality, not quantity, and not again until everything's sold. I'd have a bunch of empty cages for the weaned kits, so I'd only have around 6 permanent stock. Where I live rabbits are in...

These are too true! And hilarious :coffee-screen: :yes:Can I Get the Lens: a fun game to play when your owner attempts to take a photo of you and you pose all nice but you suddenly need to investigate the camera... up close. :slap:

Thanks! Those seem to be good cage dimensions. And I know what you mean by wanting to expand more and more, but I'm not sure if mine will be to grow much larger than 25 cages for a few years haha. I will say that Mini Lops are in fact not very popular at all as far as I know where I live, the...

Hi everyone, I'm in junior high, and for a few years now I've wanted to start up a small scale rabbitry for show, about 20 holes and 1 or 2 breeds. I've done plenty of research but I just need to decide on a few certain things, so I've contacted some breeders and I am now also going to put these...
