With our first litter we traded a black buck for a REW doe. Leah loved the color. I did not like her head (it was narrow for me and longer ears), but she is growing into it. At 12 weeks old, she got best opposite breed at a huge show (there were 31 solid senior bucks and at least 15 in each...

He is 3 weeks now, but was jsut over 2 weeks in the picture. I am really loving this guy. He is a broken sable point. (I just sold one a few weeks ago and then this turned out to be a buck as well) The whole litter has had big heads from the beginning! i think he is a watcher for sure. what do...

Ok, I am curious. I think one of my other does might be peeing on some 10 day old kits. There is pee on their backs and we saw her in the nest box once. The nest box was completely wet, we had to change it out (which we were gonna anyway before their eys open). We also have 5 week old kits in...

Ok, I get why you call them popples. I thought it was because they move around under the fur. BUT this litter is a bunch of wild ones!! I went to move the fur to see if the peanuts were still alive and I swear the little buggars popped up at me like the creaturs in aliens. I almost screamed! I...

So we have 5 kits. Two are peanuts :( . I was really hoping that Sundae was a false dwarf (she is a big girl) and we would not have issues with peanuts. Anyway. I am pretty sure the light one is a broken sable point. Then I think we have another sable point (the peanuts) and black torts (the...

I would love to have something to show in Feb. I have these 4 week old babies and two are really looking promising to me, but what do you think? This is the broken buck This is the broken sable point This little girl is a possibility Pretty sure this little buck is a no, unless he...

Ok, so I have yet another question. I have read you should not give treats to rabbits under 6 months old. So what do you do in a colony? We give fresh greens (and they LOVE dandeline leaves) and carrots ever so often, BUT the kits get it too. How do you stop them from eating the treats we give...

So we plan to show our newest kits in March. Do you need to do anything different if they are housed in a colony. Do I need to put them on wire for a bit before the show (like at 8 weeks)? Has anyone shown rabbits from a colony and what do you do?

I have a great holland lop doe. She is a grand champion and great mother with a great personality. The original breeder has offered to buy her back and another breeder asked to buy her. We love her and can not imagine letting her go. We also have her daughter and another great doe. So I know...

I was talking to a breeder about a doe that I had out of her line and she asked if my daughter had a market for pets. She does, because she might offer us her culls cause she "doesnt like dealing with pet buys". I had a hard time understanding this, it was before I sold our first pets. We had a...

So here are our surprise babies. I am thinking they are 3 weeks old. The Buck is a black tort and the doe is a broken black tort. You can see their pedigrees here http://www.lopsbyleah.com (Lopsy and Jaylene) Thank you I know I have two black torts. I am pretty sure this doe is a broken black...

So we have had a colony since June. I love it. We have 3 does and 1 buck in there. BUT I cant take this not knowing when they are due, or if they are pg mess. So poor little lopsy (our very happy buck) got moved to the bunny condo next door to the colony. He will get visits at my approved timing...

Ok, I have been rethinking our breeding program. Yesterday I had two different offers to buy back my grand champion from the breeder and another breeder here in town. She is geourgeuos and a big boned girl. I dont think I can part with her cause she is a pet too. (We may work out a deal where...

Ok, we have a colony with 3 does and one buck. We have 4 adorable 5 1/2 week kits from one of the does. Well our other two does have milk. They got milk about 2 weeks ago. We assumed the were pg, but they have not even pulled fur yet. Two weeks seem like a long time to have milk before kindling...

Ok, we are new to this, so I am not great at palpating (ironic since I am a midwife), anyway. We have a colony with 3 does and 1 buck. He stays with them the whole time, they all get along great. We just had a litter 6 days ago, I thought all three does were pg, but so far, no other fur is...

What color are these guys. There seem to be one black and then three that have a silver/brownish hue. I have looked online and cant seem to see what color they are. They are 6 days old. One on bottome seems to just be black

Ok, so now that we have our first living bundle of kits, I have a some questions. We have a clamp style tatoo machine, when do you tatoo them? Do you tatoo all the kits, or just the ones that you think will show? I thought about just doing all of them so that it helps me to know as the get...

Mom is a black (with black tort and broken black tort in her pedigree) and daddy is a black tort. Here are their pedigrees http://www.lopsbyleah.com So these little ones all seem to be the same color (maybe black) except the little runt. They are 3 days old in the picture

So this is day three. The runt still seems to be not getting a fat tummy, there was another of the smaller ones that did not seem fed this morning, so we brought mom in and massaged her and got her into her bunny trance and let the two starving little monsters have at it. They both filled up...

Well, I was sure we had a peanut (Ebony had a peanut her first litter). I am starting to think that maybe it is just a runt. It is not that much smaller than the others, and the back end seems to be normal, the eyes are a little bulgy, but not like the other one. Also it is an active little...
