Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've stopped by Rabbittalk. I've missed you guys! The following paragraph will be an update about the rabbitry so if you care about that read on. If you just want to know what my questions are skip to the part in bold. :) So why haven't I been on...

I'm at a loss to what this color could be. I have a few guesses, but I'm not certain. What do you guys think? The base of his fur is white. And this one is a charlie black tort correct? These are pedigree Holland lop kits about 6 weeks old. Their mother was a broken torted orange and their...

This is my Holland's second litter. First litter went smoothly all 3 kits had plenty of milk and she ate like a pig. This litter she had 5. Lost one due to I think not enough milk in the first 48 hours. I've noticed she is eating hay ravenously but not her pellets. Just a few nibbles here and...

Sorry, wasn't sure where to put this thread. My Netherland Dwarf doe, Tinkerbell, had a successful litter last June. She is a bit over a year and a half. The sire was a chinchilla buck owned by a lady I know in town. Since then I've tried breeding her I think 3 times (at least 2) to a BEW...

My doe (who just kindled yesterday) has itchy ears...I've noticed it for a little over a week now. I have shined a flashlight down both ears and have found nothing. No mites or debris. But when I gently squeeze the base of her ears she shakes her head and tries to scratch inside them. She hasn't...

So I have a very "diluted" Tricolor Holland doe (Bonnie). She barely has any black in her and practically looks like a broken orange. Her mother is a tri color who also has very little black and her father is a blue tort. I was thinking to breed her back to her dad and see what colors I could...

I have a neighbor with a nice looking willow tree. I notice they trim it up every now and then and I was thinking to go ask them if I could have their trimmings to make willow balls for my bunnies. But I'm not sure what kind it is. I could maybe get a picture. :)

Hi! It's been a while since I've updated but if you remember my post from a while ago, you will be pleased to see that little Bonnie is doing well! (You can see my old post about hand feeding her here: kit-won-t-eat-help-t30400.html ) Anyway, Bonnie is just over 4 months old now and I was...

My friend has a asparagus that just went to seed and it has nice leafy fern looking leaves she thought would be great to feed her bunnies but was wondering if it was safe, she said she googled it but couldn't find anything...I have no clue so I thought I'd ask if anyone here has. As for my...

Okay so I've recently been getting more into wood working and my friend taught me how to use a wood burner. Now I want one of my own! :lol: So anyone who uses one can you tell me what brand you have and how you like it? I looked up so many and all the ones I've found have terrible reviews...

I feed timothy hay right now but due to no more timothy suppliers within a reasonable driving distance I would prefer to switch to another hay. My local feed store sells Grass hay....is there any nutritional difference? Would this be a good choice?

I found some wormy things that appear to be maggots in one of my does litter trays. They are liking the damp poo. I haven't found any on her...does that mean she's ok? And I can just bleach out the tray and keep things cleaner for now and everything will be fine? Is it only the bot fly maggots...

Help! Got a 2.5 week old kit who hasn't eaten all day. She rejects any attempts at nursing on her mother or a foster mother I have as well. This morning I checked the 3 kits I have after feeding and two had full tummies and she did not. I tried holding the mother down and letting her nurse and...

My HL doe Ginger kindled on day 32, two healthy live kits. Three days later I come outside to find these two kits. I checked the nest box and the kits already kindled were unharmed. I've heard this can happen. I'm just surprised she was acting so normal those last 3 days. She was eating...

:roll: Okay, this isn't a surprise, fat does generally don't kindle ;) I bought an overweight DT doe and have unsuccessfully tried to get her pregnant a few times. This time I palpated at 12 days, felt a kit, and today is day 32. I palpated again and felt the same lump as on day 12 but it seems...

Hi, so my new doe Tinkerbell, Netherland Dwarf, she is about a year old, and just kindled her first litter of 2 kits yesterday morning. 1 was born dead (I was there for it all) and the live kit is happy and healthy :) Aside from not the fullest tummy in the house(it is a bit full but not...

Not sure if this is the right place to put this... What is everyone's opinion on cardboard for rabbits? I know so many people who provide cardboard toys etc for their rabbits but I was also informed by a retired vet that cardboard is soaked in chemicals that can be harmful. I know the ink is...

I have a HL doe with a litter of 2 that are now 6.5 weeks old. I started weaning them at 6 weeks and it looks like she already started weaning them herself, since the little doe passed up food yesterday, but the little boy seems to still want to nurse...anyway, I've been separating them every...

I may be getting a Parakeet within the year! :D I've always wanted one! First I want to know a few things! -Do males and females have about the same temperament? Or is one generally a better pet over the other? (Because I know with rabbits I would prefer a buck over a doe as a pet) -What do...

So I'm planning on building a hutch I can put indoors this summer. It gets really hot here in the summer and I like to bring the bunnies in when it gets over 92F degrees. Well, this year I have over doubled the size of my rabbitry so I won't be hauling in the wire cages for +5 rabbits. Plus I...
