The pictures are frosted and grainy, but to me it looks like several round poops stuck together. That is a sign of the digestion slowing down and the poops backing up, coming out as a clump, and being a little wet when expelled, were stepped on and then dried in that spot. I see this in my...

Does housed together, even siblings, or mom/daughter combos can become territorial when they are not housed properly. Does NEED 50 square feet of space per rabbit, and bucks need 20 square feet of space per rabbit. Raising colony style, and giving the colony plenty of space will help stop the...

Facebook group called Rabbits Inside Out. They can help with identifying issues like this.

That is alot of blood for sore hocks.

They mostly look like agoutis, some with steel, some not. I think you may even have Sable Chinchillas. I have Amchins/Silver Fox crosses who are sable based steels too. The steel gene and the normal extension dark used to be considered the same gene because they both darken the rabbit's...

You have gotten so much fabulous feedback, and I absolutley agree with all of it. Rabbits, as a matter of fact, can die in 3 or less days from many, many things. Paying a lot for a rare breed is a huge step, and if and when you make the step, you want to know exactly what you are getting. Go...

I find having nest boxes that are hard to get out of, but easy to get in to work really well when my 10 day old kits start following mom around like little blind mice. If they can get out and follow mom, they get extra feedings and grow faster. They are so fun to watch. The first time a 10 day...

Droopy ears in non-droppy eared breeds can be a sign the rabbit is not feeling well, and can be from many things. Heat, dehydration, GI tract issues, stress, depression . . . Rabbits overheat easily, and should have easy access to fresh cool water, deep and well ventilated shade, and cool...

Do these genital areas look normal? Are the whitish blotches around the genitals normal? Is the redness normal too? These are 4 week old kits. How long does it take for the symptoms of vent disease to show? Thank you!

This is 100% accurate.

Thank you! You have given me valiable insight.

Thank you! This is the information I need.

I would like to know your thoughts on breeding for increased fur density. Are there any breeds that can be crossed with a Rollback coat to increase the diameter of the guard hairs? Is there a gene that can be used to increase the number of hair follicles produced in a Rollback coat without...

Wideband will hide on self coats, but express on rabbits with agouti and tan markings. I got the screen shot from a youtube video on a channel called The Rabbit Show. It is a video about American Chinchillas and agouti patterns. It is how I finally figured out why my AmChin mutt is so much...

The wideband gene is obvious without looking at the rings or parting the fur at all. The biggest indicator of wideband is the extra large eye circles and an over all lighter appearance. The wideband gene causes the intermediate band on the shaft to extend up and down the shaft. Causing the...
