My favorite doe has developed some bald spots and I'm not sure of the cause. At first I thought it might be a combination of heat and the fact her babies were sitting on her shoulders all the time and might have peed on her. I'm thinking not so much anymore. I originally put blue-kote on them...

So, my doe, Calli is being temperamental. She had been a total sweetheart since she first got pregnant. I took that to mean she was getting hormonal again. Her kits are six weeks old and it is about the time I wanted to breed her anyway. I figure she can get a couple weeks of quiet between...

Okay, my first litter is hitting six weeks tomorrow and I am trying to get the hang of sexing them. I can easily see the difference in my adult stock. It's these babies who are confusing me!!! If I put a little pressure this one looks like a doe, but if I put more pressure it looks like a buck...

Hey all. I have a three rex does and a buck, but I was wondering if anyone on here has a good meat production line of standard rex in Arizona. I love two of my does and my buck. They are total sweet hearts. The third doe I got at six months. She was skittish, but not mean. Since having her...

So, I thought I had a gray otter and still am thinking that way, but it seems to have a brown undertone to it, so wondered if it is a different color or classification? It is for meat so doesn't matter either way, but I am curious. It's my first batch of babies to figure out and the color combos...

So, I am moving in the next couple days as I am buying my own house. I am going to try to make the move as stress free as possible for the does and kits, but I have a question. I am in Phoenix az so I have had my bunnies inside due to heat all summer. I would like for them to be outside at the...

She popped last night and I woke up to a nice surprise this morning. :P To my untrained eye, four look broken, one looks like an otter and one looks solid. Castor doe and broken black buck pairing.

I think she is preggers, and really hoping so. This will be both her first litter and mine. Counting down the days! :D

I feed manna pro pellets and have very healthy rabbits. I have also been giving them Timothy hay, which they love. Unfortunately my local feed store has stopped carrying Timothy. They have alfalfa and Bermuda grass. Which of these is healthier for rabbits? I have a doe due in a week, so she is...

So, I got my older doe (6 months) to breed a couple weeks ago and she has turned into the biggest love! My younger doe, however, is going through puberty! She is almost six months old now and her vulva is reddish purple. She looks like she should be ready! She growls and lunges at the buck and...

So, to start with, I know less than nothing about rabbit color genetics. Is there a basic explenation on this site I haven't found yet? Aside from that, I recently got into raising rabbits for meat. I also want to tan the hides so I went with the standard rex. To state how new I am, I just got...

Well, my doe's vent got red and I put her in with the buck. They peed all over the place then he did his job about four times. They are both first timers and a couple of angles looked just odd to me, so I will wait a few hours and let him have another go at it. Her vent was damp when I picked...

I have two does, one just over 6 months and one just over 5 months. They are both standard rex. They have both just turned slightly red and swollen, so I am thinking that they will be ready for breeding in a few days. It will be my first time breeding rabbits. On that note, I have read a couple...

I have three standard rex rabbits that are just reaching breeding age. Two just turned six months last week. The buck is ready for action. I put the doe in and she attacks him. I have since learned how to check her vulva and she is pale and pink. Waiting for her to turn purple before putting her...

Hello all, I am new to the whole rabbit thing. About four months ago I bought two young does and a young buck. I went with Rex's for their fur as I would like to learn to tan the hides as well. Now I have two six month olds and a five month old and I'm getting excited for the fun to begin. I am...
