Hi Hotzcatz, no the previous litter with the DOA were completely different rabbits from a few years ago which were NZW x Flemish.

Update. She had 1 single baby yesterday (day 37) and as expected the kit was a Very Large DOA and furred. At least mum is ok.

I'm concerned about one of my New Zealand Red does, she is currently on 35 days gestation (she has pulled fur and and I can feel babies, she is also a proven breeder). I had another rabbit several years ago that went to 37 day gestation by memory and delivered 1 very large 'DOA' fully furred...

Awsome thanks for the pics Mini Lop Fan I'll take a closer look at babies when I have a day off work as heading to work shortly, My litter in question turned 3 weeks Monday 22nd.

Thanks Mini Lop Fan Some pictures of your kits would be great for comparison, also thanks Zass for the info & pictures of differences of belly color in Opal and Blue Steel. I was looking at the picture I posted of the mum and realized the photo is of her brothers as she has two white feet (she...

Hi everyone. I haven't been on for a while but can someone tell me if an Agouti colored rabbit can produce Blue if both mum & dad carry it?. (Don't judge me but this litter has been Line Bred) The dad is a Blue New Zealand (his parents were same color) OR Is he Super Steel I wonder? The Mum is...

I have the odd kit loose a limb from overzealous cleaning from mums when born but not very often. I was however EXTREMELY upset and shocked by one of my so called experienced does as she has had 5 litters with no issues other than lack of fur pulling until her latest litter about 1 week ago...

If your white male has Blue eyes then he could be a Vienna carrier. I'm suprised none the kits have broken patterns (Vienna marked) since he was bred to a solid colour if this is the case.

Thanks, that website is very informative & a concern. I noticed the RHDV2 was released 3 mth ago near Killarney QLD which I travel though a fair bit, The falls (where the virus was released) is pretty much on the other side of the mountain where I live. The same virus was also released in...

I feed my rabbits a commercial pellet but my horses get hay, Do you know where to find the release sites for the Virus mainly for Northern NSW & Southern QLD as I live in Northern NSW not far from the Border. I travel to Stanthorpe QLD twice per week for work & pass a lot of wild rabbits...

Thanks catherine99, I already knew about the new virus being released just wasn't sure when it was being released but I have just signed the petition though. After losing 14 rabbits (most were due to kindle in a day or two) & just over 60 growers the other Sunday from the heat wave (got to...

Yep, they have released the Korean strain (an upgraded version) of the calicivirus in certain areas around Australia, one of the locations that I am aware of is around 150km from me which has me quite concerned as I personally have over 100 meat rabbits & still growing, most of my rabbits are...

Had 2 kindling issues. 1st was one of my does decided to have her litter on the 23rd day (nearly 1 week early) so naturally she didn't have a nest in yet, she had 11 good sized kits born on the cage floor all ice cold but some just barely moving. Took them straight to the car to warm up then...

After I took the pictures I put them in my rabbit freezer lying flat on the shelf until I decided what to do with them (too much of a rare occurrence to be fed to the cats). I'm not sure where to buy rubbing alcohol (I might contact my local vet to see if they can spare some), and can this...

One of my 1st time Does had her litter this morning with 5 healthy live kits & 2 deformed babies which were still born. 1 baby had an extremely long head and the other baby had a poorly developed face with a small mouth and nodule of some sort (maybe a third ear) on top of it's head.

I don't think it would be RHD as you said also know as calicivirus here in Australia as all my rabbits are vaccinated. 30 of my Does including the 2 that died are currently housed in outdoor cages with a Heavy duty White pvc tarp suspended about 1 meter over the cages, I have all the materials...

Lost yet another doe today while kindling (one of my British Giants). I checked on the rabbits again about 2pm this afternoon to give them frozen water bottles as the Temps were getting around 34 degrees c and a few of the rabbits were suffering heat stress as they were wet around the faces...

All of my does (61 in total) have just started having their litters, I just went outside (was about 10pm) to check on two particular does as they are good mums but not so good with the amount of fur pulled so I bring the babies inside during the night. 1 doe had 7 live babies and one very small...
