I'm in Florida, but don't meet that weight/age deadline.

In with the horse feed and forage.

I feed hay cubes - they double as chew toys and less waste.

At 5 lbs and still growing, likely standard Rex. They look healthy and content!

A couple things from both her pics and her kits: - She has at least one _a (self-color) and is not otter - She is either Bb or bb: lilac kit is a bb and the blue kit is a Bb. (Her pics make me think bb) - On the C locus, all we can tell is C_, may have a recessive underneath - Definitely dd for...

I'll join in and say this is where I've learned how to get my bunnies to breed like rabbits! I've recommended this place to a recent buyer, as well. RT is a great resource!

Oh, cool beans! Congrats.

I consider this place to be the best alternative to FB for rabbit stuff. :bunnyhop:

His third son - the one I've kept - did his first breeding Friday, and now when I open his cage to feed, Charlie Brown sticks his face out and looks for his next hook-up. LOL His first son, Domino, is at my friends' now along with his albino brother I called Whitey (yeah, unimaginative) and...

Kissimmee is a couple hours' drive, but the yellow flies ought to have gone back into the swamp by then. I am a little north of Ocala National Forest ... in a county with no town names anyone outside the area would recognize. If you need a girl, just let me know. I haven't braided the FW into...

I love the Rex fur, and the curly whiskers are often the first clue I get for which have regular fur and which are my beloved plushies. That being said, I've noticed the regular-furred rabbits who carry a Rex gene* tend to have nicer fur than the couple of non-Rex gene outcross parents I've...

It isn't a lack of desire to help. Your bunny just doesn't have distinguishing breed characteristics. No lop ears, no Rex fur, no Satin fur, no distinctive colors or body shape. This isn't anything bad - he looks healthy and happy and friendly! :bunnyhop:

Well then, happy tenth anniversary!

Blue is two genes being expressed: the black base - dominant, usually notated as B; and the dilute gene - autosomal recessive, usually notated a dd since it takes two copies, one from each parent. The dilute gene also makes lilac on the brown base gene (bb) so don't be surprised if you get a...
