I have/had a year old American/New Zealand cross rabbit who has had 1 healthy litter. Several weeks ago she started looking unstable, then progressed to being off balance and falling over and stumbling around as if she were drunk. Today I found her unable to walk to the food dish, so I culled...

I posted earlier about sharing hair in colony nests and winding up with a baby with a broken back due to a doe scuffle. Anyway, this little bunny (4 weeks old) is pulling itself around on it front legs and seems to be doing ok. Does anyone have experience raising crippled rabbits? How do...

I have three does in a colony who all had litters within two weeks of each other. One of the does (Kiwi) didn't build a very good nest so I borrowed some hair from another does (Alice) nest to make up the difference. Because the borrowed hair had the scent of the Alice on it, Alice thought...

I noticed in my last two rabbit harvests that I have almost 5 to 1 male rabbits to females. This seems very strange to me. Any thoughts on why this might be? :?

I have 4 does in a my colony. In the last breeding cycle two does shared a nest, with 18 kits total. I debated splitting the nests, but didn't know if one doe would accept a new location or just go back to their original nest site. I decided not to separate and to watch and see what...

I have a colony with four does. They were all bread within the last 6 weeks. Scruffy had a littler of 3 kits last week, very small for her. I was away for the weekend and came home to find Scruffy's nest full of babies :P , but one of the other does, Kiwi, was tending to them and not...

I found this print at a art gallery in Oakland... Love it!

So what do you all do with the kidneys?

So I have a little runt rabbit who is 7 weeks old but is the size of a 4 week old... He's very sweet and we're thinking we're going to keep him as a pet since it doesn't appear that he'll ever get to freezer camp size. Is there anything I need to be concerned about with runts? Do they tend to...

I often watch my does abdomens to see if they are pregnant or not. When they lay on their sides their abdomens will roil and boil with what I thought were the unborn kits moving around... But now I'm not sure that's what all the movement is. I have a Cali doe who gave birth 4 days ago, and...

Here is a picture from above of my outside rabbit colony! The left side is where all the breeding happens and kits are born, and the right side is where the juniors go after they are about 6 weeks... Right now I have 27 babies!!!

My American doe (Alice) has been sneezing lately, but then escalated to having clear then cloudy mucus coming out of her nose. She also showed signs of labored breathing last night, and I thought she was a goner. I have my rabbits in an outdoor colony where they are free to burrow, and Alice...

Every once in a while my white does have an orange spray of liquid across their sides or on their heads. At first I thought this was blood, but now I'm thinking it's spooge from the male misfiring. :mrgreen: What do you all think?

Yesterday I harvested a litter and noticed that one had small grey spots on its lungs, and the lungs were not the usual milky white color, but kind of pinkish. Does anyone know what this is? Is the meat safe to eat?

I've got an white (pink eyed) American doe and a white (pink eyed) American buck.... But out popped a black baby from the burrow this morning. Something in the wood pile? :shock: :lol: :mrgreen: :roll:

My California doe had a litter last Thursday. She kindled in a burrow under ground, so I don't know how many kits total. On Sat. she pushed out 2 dead kits, then 2 more that evening, then 3 on Sunday. They looked well formed and not squished. She didn't try to eat them, just pushed them out...

I'm looking for a breeding pair of Silver Fox... Does anyone know of any breeders close to Northern California?

I usually don't get to see my newborn kits as they are all born under ground in our outside colony. But I got a HUGE surprise this morning to find a beautiful nest full of squirming kits in a hutch we have inside the colony! The hutch has a hiding hole which one of our does has been building a...
