Has anyone ever had a dark chocolate tort born with brown skin instead of pink? It's definitely not shaded (positive by test breedings) or should I suspect steel? (no steel in pedigree). Have found out since, due to a second litter with the same thing, that it is actually a steel with...

Hi, I have tried identifying these plants because our yard is covered with them and I would love to be able to feed them to the buns. Nothing I have found seems to be exactly right. The one kinda looks like wild violet, but I've never seen any flowers on it. The other one kinda looks like...

Question about steel, can a non-extension rabbit carry steel, such as red, tort or pearl? Would it be ese or ees? I think that agout can't hide it, correct? Cause it would show as steel. Only self can hide steel or can anything hide it?

I have a young senior buck that has a patch of fur (about 4 inches in diameter) on his back that just won't seem to finish molting. He has had it for about 2 months now. No skin problems at all, he's very healthy and all his other fur is just beautiful. It's still cold here, but nobody else...

Just came out this morning to find one of my best brood does with what is almost positively wry neck. She has the classic symptoms. This is a 2 year old proven doe that is due to kindle in 2 days. I have read about the treatment with either ivomec or pancur. What would be your...

I'm really new to rabbit for dinner. I raise show rabbits (average 4.5 pounds as adults, mini satins) but I don't want to waste the ones I cull and I stopped selling for pets. I have butchered about 10 so far and tried them in different recipes, also different ages and weights. The ones I...

Hi, my foster son just got his first mini lop. She is a sable chin. I've never had that color in my satins so I was wondering if someone could tell me what her genotype would be? I think sable is the cchl? If so, how would you get the chin, cchd/cchl? Also, what would be a good color to...

I have a wire stacker cage bank and one of the bottom cages has a 3" x 3" hole in the floor. What would be the best way to fix it? Should I try to put a whole new floor on (very difficult with it being in a bank of 6 cages) or can it be patched? If so, can anyone tell me the best way to...

Just thought I'd share something that happened the other day. My husband is always calling me the crazy rabbit lady because of course I have a raging case of rabbitosis, but some of our friends walked in our barn the other day. One of them yelled "How many rabbits does one person need!!!"...

Hi, my foster son just got his first mini lop yesterday. She is listed as a sable chin on her pedigree. I have never dealt with sable before and I wonder if anyone could give me the genotype of this color? Thanks

I have two litters that have just opened their eyes. Seems like about half of them are having problems with their eyes. I haven't had a case of this in the last couple of years. Cage hygiene is good, I always keep the boxes clean and dry, both does have had litters before with no problems...

On a black, self chin rabbit, would the genotype be aaB_cchd_D_E_ or aaB_cchd_D_ee? If not the second one, what would that one look like? Thanks
