So I'm having an issue here. I have two litters right now - one flemish and one champagne. Both are 6 weeks old and have just been weaned. Problem is, they keep dying and I don't know why. The first time was from the flemish litter.. two weeks ago I went to feed them (and mom) and found one...

Ugh. Seems like I can't catch a break with my meat rabbits. My flemish/French lop buck escaped his enclosure some time last night. I wasn't overly concerned because we've had escapees before and they always seem to return to the area for an easy capture. This evening I was feeding the other...

So I'm really hoping that I'm not dealing with snuffles here, but we recently got our rabbit back from breeding at a friend's house (she was gone for 3 days) and in the past week I've noticed some causes for concern. She has watery marks under her eyes and I've noticed her doing something like...

So my boyfriend and I have decided to move ahead with looking for a breeding pair of Netherland Dwarf rabbits, and while I'm still in the research phase of it all I've started to learn that there is an awful lot going on with their genetics. The part that I'm having some confusion over however...

I recently bought a purebred Dutch doe and her two kits, and while I'm keeping the doe for breeding, I'm going to need to sell the two young'uns.. Problem is, I'm new to Dutch rabbits and I'm not sure what a fair price would be to sell them for. I don't see any listings in my area for purebred...

I got this doe from the auction. She was in a cage with another doe marked as "Flemish Giant". Obviously she isn't a Flemish.. I'd like to hear some thoughts as to what she might be. She's smaller than my full grown New Zealand White buck, and judging by the state of her dewlap I'm guessing that...

So this is a two part post regarding my Chinchilla/NZW mix doe. For starters, I bred her July 11.. First she was with my Champagne buck, he popped off her once but he seemed tired from the other doe he was with (she was young and made him chase her around forever), so I put her in with my NZW...

So my Flemish had her litter of 12 kits on Friday morning. I wanted to foster some to a more experienced doe as this is just her second litter, but the other doe had 8 herself so we weren't sure if adding any more was a bad idea or not. The litter is half flemish/ half champagne, so some kits...

I have three pregnant does right now, all of which are on day 31 of their gestation period. This morning on my way out the door I noticed that one was building her nest and pulling fur.. Does this mean she could have them by the time I get back from my shift? I'm a bit worried because, even...

So my boyfriend and I recently started a meat rabbit colony.. We typically breed medium sized rabbits (Champagnes and New Zealand reds), but we also have a breeding trio of Flemish Giants because we noticed that they are in high demand in our area as breeders or farm/house pets and we use the...

So I bought two does from a lot at the auction today.. They were labeled as Flemish Giant does, but with no age or anything. When I got home I realized that they look slightly different. The one has bigger ears and a slightly longer face like my other Flemish so I have no reason to doubt that's...

I recently bought a group of ~20 ish rabbits from a guy who was getting out of rabbit farming, and one of the does came with a litter of 8. I weaned them yesterday (they're around 7-8 weeks) and while adding toys and chew sticks to their new enclosure, I noticed that the runt of the litter is...

So two days ago I purchased a breeding trio of champagnes - two does and a buck, and a NZW buck to work with since I've been having trouble with my younger NZW buck (shy buck syndrome). I put both champagne females from the new trio in with the new bucks, and bam! The deed was done several times...
