    Ho do I achieve a certain color?

    Okay, rabbit genetics confuse me. So I need help. I would like magpie or Harlequin kits. I have a magpie doe. I have a black buck, blue otter buck, a chestnut buck, a blue chinchilla buck and a broken chestnut buck. When I bred her to the blue otter I got smoke pearl marten, blue, opal and REW...

    Incredibly aggressive buck--HELP

    We have a 12 week old Holland lop buck, that my kids really wanted to keep as a pet. He is from one of my litters, so he was raised by me, in my house. HE IS SO MEAN! He was the sweetest little guy, cuddly, docile, until about 2 weeks ago. It seems to only be cage aggressive, but he bites the...

    4 week old kits with poopy butts!

    I have 4 week old lionhead kits with gross butts! Is it normal for them to get diarrhea this young? Or is it more likely cecotropes they aren't eating getting stuck in the fur? How do I clean this? Is a butt bath ok on this young of a rabbit?

    Suggested age to wean???

    I have Holland lop kits. What age is ok to start selling them? I know the doe still nurses them once in a while. Will she wean them on her own? They were born Oct 10th. Will they be ok to sell at 6 weeks or is 8 weeks best? They are eating pellets, oatmeal, hay and drinking water. I have not...

    Chestnut kit--i need to justify keeping her!

    I have a sweet little chestnut, is the probability of her giving me mostly chestnuts high? Her mother is a black tort and father is a sable chinchilla. What would you all recommend i breed her to, to get something other than chestnut? (I know i post a lot, but i have so many questions!! Hahaha)

    How the heck did i end up with red eye white?!

    I have 7 lionhead kits that opened their eyes today. The 2 whites are red-eyed! Mom is blue-eyed magpie. Dad is blue otter. He has a REW as a grandsire. Would that be enough to make these kits REW?! bah! I was hoping for blue eyes, not red.

    Another color question!

    I love this group. You are all so helpful with colors! This is my daughters rabbit, would you say he is a Blue Agouti? Or is it Opal? The photo of his face was when he was 8 weeks old. The other 2 are current, he is now 6 months old.

    Lionhead color!

    Here is my boy Alex. Is he a Blue? The while belly and white insides of his ears is throwing me off. would that make him a blue otter? Also, his pedigree says single mane. But I think he's a double mane, maybe? (excuse his messy coat, please! He's shedding horribly. haha)

    Making a pedigree-name & weight question

    I have rabbits I would like to breed. They came with pedigrees. When looking at them, they have names like; Dillon's Midnight Sun, Alpine's Smoke N Diamonds, LMBR Ziggy. Why the long names? Is it the rabbitry owner's name, then the rabbit's name? Also, the weight listed, is it weight at birth...

    Holland lop or Mini?

    I recently adopted a rabbit. Estimated to be just over a year old. I was told she's a Holland lop, but I think she may be a mini. She seems on the large side for a Holland, (or she could just be over weight, she does have a pretty hefty neck bloop). But she has a different head shape than my...

    Advice on feed!

    I have recently gotten back into rabbit keeping. I have very limited options for buying feed. I'm starting to think I'm going to have to start ordering it online. I have walmart, petco, tractor supply. Tractor supply only sells Dumor and I'm not impressed with the ingredients and it only has 13%...

    Show quality? New to showing

    My girls want to show rabbits in 4-H. We have a Lionhead that has been a pet, but I'm thinking she is not a show quality rabbit due to her coloring. Thoughts?

    What color would you call my Doe? Tort?

    This is Juliette, my guess is she is around 1.5-2 yrs old. We've had her almost 3 weeks and i'm pretty sure she came to me pregnant. But I'm interested to know what her color is called? She is a Holland Lop.
