I've been using a Mini Lop as my buck. I've had three kindles from him (only one success due to first time does). But as I've read more and gained experience from you folks I've decided to get another buck for breeding. Today I got a NZ/Altex mix. He's all white, 6 months old and 8-10 lbs...

Okay, I'd like to see some opinions on a breeding schedule. Here's my set up to provide a background: I have two English Lop does that are quite large and are 8 1/2 months old. I have one NZ/California doe that is about 5 1/2 months old. One English Lop doe had one unsuccessful kindle a...

Does anyone use a rabbit tractor? Right now I have all wire cages in a PVC hutch that is working out quite well. They're off the ground, good ventilation, automatic watering system. I try to get them all out as often as I'm able to run around the yard for some exercise and time out of the...

Will a doe pull fur for any reason other than preparing a nest? My second doe was breed the day after the doe that had a kindle about two weeks ago. She never delivered so I figured it didn't take. I breed her again, about a week and a half ago but the she didn't seem to lift nor did the buck...

I know many folks breed right after a kindle and that does are better off having many kindles a year. For those in the south, do you breed through the summer heat or stop for the summer and pick up again in the fall?

Well, I put the nesting boxes in with both does this morning. The first time they treated the boxes like an intrusion but this time they both dived in and started digging around. I'm taking that as a good sign. I have the powderless paper chips in there as well as some additional hay in the...

Been raising quail almost as long as rabbits, which isn't all that long really :D But it's really been a LOT of fun. Started with eight Coturnix quail, two roosters and six hens. They were 3-4 weeks old when I got them and they started laying at eight weeks. I have them in two 2x2 cages in...

Reading up here and looking at YT videos I decided to start introducing greens to my buns. For the most part they've been on pellets for the main meal. I give them hay in the morning and have been giving them the occasional red leaf or romaine lettuce that I grow in my garden. Doing some...

Wasn't sure the most appropriate section so I choose this one. As I understand it, the vital organs are great for cats and dogs when feed to them raw. I also see rabbit ears for dog treats as another use. I have two cats and plan on feeding them the vitals when I begin to harvest. I'm...

As I mentioned in another thread, I've had two first time does have unsuccessful kindles. The first had two still born (assuming they were still born). The second had eight but all died even after assisted nursing. So the advice I've been receiving (and thank you) was to breed them again...

Well either I misjudged the time or doe #2 did :D She had her first kindle this evening and it came as a surprise. I was really thinking she wasn't pregnant at all. I was face-timing my brother and his family and showing them the quail and rabbits and there they were! Eight and all alive...

I've been using a Kindle e-book as a guide on several things (Storey's Guide to Raising Rabbits). Figured it would be a good idea to check on some of the information in the book with the folks here to see if I'm on the right track. The book states that for medium weight adult rabbits 5oz of...

I put a post in the breeding section but then thought that this may have been the more appropriate section. For a meat rabbit, is there any issue with breeding a mini lop buck with something like a NZ doe? Thank you. :)

Probably a silly question so bear with me :) I know that I can breed my Mini Lop buck with my English Lop does, but what about a rabbit who's ears stand up like a Florida white or whatever? Thank you. <br /><br /> -- Sun May 01, 2016 3:47 pm -- <br /><br /> There are also NZ whites in my...

I have a buck Mini lop and two doe English lop rabbits. Purchased from a co-worker couple of months ago. The buck is 1yr old and according to my buddy has been a successful stud. The two does are 4-5 months old and are first timers. The does are much bigger than the buck. The first doe did...
