This litter is by our castor, or chestnut agouti buck Stitch (RedxREW) and out of a black doe(RedxREW). They are full siblings out of different litters and the kits will be used for meat so it doesn't really matter what color they are, I just find the genetics part very interesting. However I...

Bride is due on 4/27 but I caught her digging in her hay this morning. So I re-scrubbed and sanitized her nest box and put it into place, thinking maybe she was ready to start building. I came back something like 2 hours later and she had moved ALL of her hay into the nest box and started...

I did a quick search, but didn't see exactly what I was looking for, so please excuse me if there are a 1000 posts identical to this one. I'd love to get ahold of a book on color and genetics. It must have lots of pictures for examples, from a description I have no idea how your supposed to...

Bride is getting fat. Not okay pregnant fat, but I'm a huge lazy beast fat. I picked her up yesterday and while I didn't try and stuff her into the tiny baking scale bowl, I would be shocked if she weighed anything less than 12 pounds. The day I bred her, on her 8 month birthday, she weight 9lbs...

Hey guys, just wanted to get your imput and advice about this issue. Honky is sick. She's not drinking or eating. Yesterday I got her to sip a little from a small shallow dish in my hands but she hasn't taken anything from her water bottle since 3/12 when I last filled it. I've tried new...

Went to check on the buns after being gone all day and found a nestbox absolutely drowning in fur. :P When we left this morning she hadn't even started building her nest, it was just a box with a bunch of hay sitting in it. After a quick peak we saw that there was at least one wiggly little kit...

First time mom, Bride, kindled this morning. We actually caught her in action when we (DS and I) went out to feed and check waters. We tried to quietly sneak back out to aviod startling her, but I'm not sure if it actually worked. When I checked back about 90minutes later there were seven live...

It's time for the semi-annual RRBA show again. March 24th, double open. If I can get the day off, DD and I will definatly be taking our NZW buck. I'm still waiting fpr the show catalog to post on their website, www.richmondrba.com, but I'm hoping let DD show in a meat pen class also if the REW...

Hope everyone in the path of yesterday's storms is safe.

I was messing around with the kits this morning and noticed one of my black kits looks like the fur on the bottoms of his feet are turning white. Does that mean it's not really black as far a genetics and/or showing go? The ears and belly still seem black to me. Other kits in the litter are 4...

I've been contacted by someone coming through the area looking for breeding age NZW and NZW/Cal crosses. I don't have any for sale that are breeding age, but I know there are others in the area that may have some. If you do, would you mind having me pass on your email address? It would also be...

So OldMan was a sweetheart but we had yet to have any live litters of his and only one pregnancy at all. With limited cage and colony space it was time to decide between continuing to feed him and keeping an extra doe to grow out. We said goodbye to OldMan this morning. Things I learned: Hooks...

I've been job hunting since the end of December and finally got a call back for an interview yesterday. I was really starting to worry when McD's didn't even call back. The interview is for a server position at Red Lobster, I hope it goes well since I'm one of those people who really love...

Morning! Today is 14 days for our kits so they went onto the scale for the first time as individuals. I was surprised at the large range of weights. The average was 6.5oz compared to the 4.1oz at 7 days. Not sure if that's good or slow, but it's gone into the recordbook so we'll know after a few...

I'm glad you guys are here. My husband tries to be excited for me, but I know the rabbits just arn't his thing. LOL. I'm just super excited. I went out this morning and 3 kits were out of the nestbox, eyes wide open, hanging out with mom. Since it was only in the low 30s and they seemed cold I...

I need some adivce. After checking on the kits this afternoon, their dam ran over to check on them which is great. But as I watched she reached in and took 2 clumps of fur out and ate it. :shock: Is that normal, because I thought rabbits got fur/hair blockages pretty easily? I'm not sure if...

We've finally got a live litter! Woo-hoo! Went out to the bunny barn to feed and water and was amazed at the amount of fur that Honky pulled. I slipped my hand under all that fur and was so excited to feel warm, wiggling kits. This was her third try so I'm so excited that it's going so well this...

Honky's second chance litter is due Friday (if she took the first breeding). This morning I put OldMan back in his cage and put in the nestbox. :D I'm really excited and hoping for a much better experience this time around. I think we're a little better prepared this time. We'd love to have at...
