I'll start of by saying that my EA doe is still very active, her poops are normal, and she seems quite healthy except for the fact that she is losing weight. I don't have a scale so I'm not sure how much but her spine is feeling bonier. She used to eat 1/3 c of 18% protein pellets every morning...

Two misses for Annabelle (with 2 covers the first time and 4 covers the second time). :( I am actually suspecting that my buck might be sterile (which would just take the cake after all the money I spent on his surgery, etc). Unfortunately, there are no other English Angora rabbits in the...

My doe has made it to day 18 with no early nesting (in her false pregnancy she nested on day 17). I tried palpating on day 13 and was pretty sure I felt something. I think we'll be having bunnies on or around the 29th. Hooray!! :pinkbunny: :pinkbunny: :pinkbunny: :pinkbunny:

I came to the realization last night that one of my two pet bunnies (lionhead crosses) needs to find a new home. It's not an easy decision for me, but I can no longer house the two littles (as we call them) together. They are fighting and the more dominant one is starting to cause injuries to...

How important is it to breed a doe before one year of age? My doe will be one at the end of May and we just went through a false pregnancy. In looking at the calendar, I would pretty much have to try again with them tonight for the timing to work. If she were to get pregnant and have the babies...

It's day 31 for Annabelle and I woke up to some freshly pulled fur in her cage, but nothing in the nest box yet. I feel like I may have interrupted something... It will be quiet all day so I may have babies when I get home from work. If she has them outside of the nest box they should be ok (I...

I feel like the hits just keep on coming with my little herd of two. Last night when I was checking on my pregnant (pretty sure now) doe, I found a lump on her belly that I'm about 80% sure is an umbilical hernia. It wasn't there before and over the past week I thought I could feel something...

I may have my first litter of English Angoras coming next week and was looking for opinions on what I might expect for colours. I have been told probably a lot of chocolate (which is awesome), but is there a possibility of any of the brokens, black or REW showing up (or are they too far back in...

IF my doe is expecting we're nearing the final days and I am still not very sure. Today is day 25. She is continuing to act different. She is running to the door for ear scratches, but will not let me touch her stomach or pick her up. She is still keeping her next box clean. She has been...

My rabbits are really trying to stress me out today! My buck is in surgery and my doe, who was bred 17 days ago just started pulling fur and digging in her litter box. Should I put a nest box in for her now? I'm kind of worried that it's so early and she'll just use it as another litterbox...

It turns out my buck wasn't so lucky, as he now has a large abscess by the bite wound he had when I got him. I don't have any of the necessary items to treat something of that scope so we are off to the vet this morning. I am kicking myself for not looking him over better when I got him. He has...

About a month before I got my buck his coat was sheared as he had been in a fight with his brother. Now his belly is molting (right down to almost bald), but his back and sides where he was sheared are not ready yet. Will his molting pattern ever even out again or will he always molt in two...

We're at day 9 post-breeding with my angoras. I tried palpating last night, which I know is early, but I want to get a "feel" for it. I thought I was feeling blueberries, because they weren't gritty like I read that poop would feel like, but then I palpated my male and his poops didn't feel...

It was finally nice enough outside to have a really good grooming session with my angoras. My male hasn't been keeping his hind end very clean and he has a lot of dry, flaky skin covering his testicles. His scent glands were also pretty much sealed shut. So I cleaned those out along with some...

A week ago I received an angora buck from a breeder. When we first started talking about a month ago, she mentioned that he had been in a fight with another rabbit and she had cut his hair to make sure he was OK. She never said anything about him being injured. Fast forward to yesterday and he...
