When you apply slight pressure on either side it will pop out, i would suggest gently pulling the tail back at the same time, if you can get someone to hold the kit while you check its easier, took me a while to be proficient on my own. For a boy it will look like a tube or a straw, basically a...

Good morning all, I posted this question in an older thread about BEW Genetics but unfortunately didn't get a response, any help would be greatly appreciated. I just did a test breed of BEW doe x magpie possible VC buck, now my BEW had 7 kits, the kits are 3 tri's, 2 magpies and 2 VM...

Ok, I know this is an old thread but I have a BEW question and sm hoping you can help. I just did a test breed of BEW x possible VC now my BEW had 7 kits sire was a magpie vc. Every kit appears to have magpie markings, as no kit appears to be BEW does this confirm him to be normal magpie and...

Hi, hope you can help, i have the little mammals petlac but have no idea how to make it up for rabbits, i know rabbit milk is incredibly nutritious. Do i mix it like on the tin or do you make it more concentrated?

I like that idea. I will definitely keep that in mind i am using plastic tubs for my HL but didn't think about cutting the lid and putting it back on. Thats a great idea

I use a cotton cloth under the kits, then hay then dryer lint or cotton balls pulled apart so its like cobwebs

I will make sure I remember that, I think I will stay clear of summer breedings though, I had a doe about 4 days from kidding and we had a heat wave high 90s for a solid week. I lost her to heat stroke, because of the random weather I think im going to stick to the cooler months. I appreciate...

Thank you i will definitely pick some up at sams this weekend. God bless you aswell.

Thats adorable.

Thank you, i will look into banana boxes as i found a kit on the wire at morning check, it was about 53° in the barn, i quickly put the kit down my top to warm him/her up i think it will make a full recovery thank god, i tried to warm it up gradually so it doesn't go into shock. I am...

Thank you for your response, i am glad they tolerate the cold, im guessing you had some good moms that built nice warm nests.

Thank you for all the information, i appreciate all of the insights and i will definitely make notes on the good reasons to shelve kits. Thank you again for your response.

Thank you i will make sure the moms stay put, i definitely don't want to risk any of those.

Thank you, I appreciate the information. Just out of curiosity how can it go badly, rejection or stress? Thank you

Thank you so much for the indepth information, were in WV and although its not below freezing yet, i have a few more litters planned and this has helped put my mind at ease. I will keep a close eye on the kits and temp check regularly if everything seems good I will leave them for the first...
