Seriously. Go check my most recent update in the 'fighting stasis' thread. :shock: (spoiler: no... she didn't have a litter)

I realize I haven't been here in a long time, but I'm trying to make sure I'm doing all I can for my dutch doe (River). It appears that she's fighting stasis. After changing her litterbox a couple of days ago (Friday), I realized yesterday that she was producing only a few small poops. I've...

Not rabbit related of course, but I wanted to share with you folks. I made the decision, yesterday, to adopt a dog. She was listed on Facebook and I sort of fell in love with her picture. I found out that she's a year old (turns out she's closer to two), housebroken, loves kids and other dogs...

Well, today I decided it was time to do a final sexing on the 8 week old kits ,and separate the does from the bucks. Since my cage space is limited, I decided to keep the doe kits with their moms (they all seem to be getting along well) and put all of the buck kits together. I can see some of...

This has been a truly frustrating and disheartening experience. I was so excited to start selling my mini lops and yes, Chrissie did produce some lovely kits. I hate to even look at them, they're so nice looking. Even with my ' pet quality' buck, some of these kits would be keepers. Except...

I'll be having breast reduction surgery in the morning. It's voluntary, basically to improve the quality of my life. I never even seriously thought I would be approved for it, so the approval was a bit of a shock. I'm both happy about it and terrified of the procedure. It's a fairly long...

I caught these cuties looking like they're in 'Rabbit School' with momma. I wish the cage hadn't been in the way. :p

I feel absolutely sick right now. Chrissie... CHRISSIE has a snotty nose. Yellow mucous. I had a suspicion from the very beginning that she might have something. She had that slightly crusty eye when I first got her. It went away. It would show up, just a bit, from time to time but I...

So, I bred Sprinkles (tri-color) back to her dad (broken blue chin). I ended up with a bunch of white looking kits. They should be opening eyes here really soon, but guesses whether these will be BEW? REW? Or 'something else'? I didn't expect this!! Sprinkles Kits And one broken kit

I've seen people mention this a few times, but give me tips on how to 'mark' kits in a litter who all look the same? One of my litters (Sprinkles' babies) has 5 white kits and I can't tell them apart. Well, one of them is HUGE, but other than that, I can't tell them apart. :p They turned a...

Looks like I'll probably lose my first kit. Out of 19 live kits born, I guess that's not too bad. The tiniest runt in Chrissie's litter doesn't seem to be getting any better. I started giving it supplemental feedings from cooperative does (mostly River) once a day. I'm pretty sure it's getting...

This is listed as a 'smoke pearl chin'... looks non-e to me? Blue tort? I think he's a handsome little guy

It looks like TSC has switched from the decent Advantek cages to crappy Dumor cages. I ordered a set of them because I need one more stack and the Advantek, while still listed on the TSC website, are no longer available to order (so if you have them in your local TSC, snap them up while you...

Ok, here are the first (mostly fuzzy) pictures from SRG5 (Scarlett-River, July 2015) She gave me 7, one DOA. The rest of the kits look healthy and active on their second day :) Kit 1 - Broken Black? Kit 2 - I think this one MIGHT be a very light broken blue, like daddy! Kit 3- Harli...

So, I've been modifying, moving stuff around, optimizing. One of the biggest complaints I've had about my 'stackers', is the fact that I can't easily move them around to clean up the waste hay and such easily. Well, after a month or so of pondering, getting advice and picking my engineer...

All of my does (River, Sprinkles (River's kit), Chrissie and Lady) were 'bred' on 6/3. I rebred Chrissie and Lady two weeks later, in case the first breeding was unsuccessful. River (the harlequin dutch) is definitely pregnant. I bred her specifically to be a foster mom if the first timers have...

My local TSC carried compressed Timothy Hay bales this Spring, but they don't have them anymore... not even listed in the online catalog, so I have to guess they're just not going to carry them anymore. :( This is terrible since the hay seems pretty darned nice (if a little dusty) and it seems...

I saw this thread on another forum and it made me wonder why it's there. Do people have issues with 'animal control' regarding rabbits? The article is about selling puppes, but I guess it applies to rabbits as well. It's a little concerning. I keep my rabbits indoors (for now), but they are in a...

Anyone live in Georgia who might be heading East around November? I have an offer of transport for a buck from California, but they're only going as far as Georgia. I may also have the chance to get a nice buck from Indiana. Any Midwestern folks planning a trip out this way later in the year...

I decided to palpate today, 11 days after breeding. I seem to recall reading that the fetuses feel like 'grapes', but is that the SIZE of a grape? or?? Because what I felt in the doe I'm pretty certain is pregnant was more like the size of beebees. Or, I'm just not doing it correctly. :p...
