Hers a couple of the pure breed californians, and sorry for not having that good of ones for the black ones. Both are about 11 days old. The black one in my hand I found on the ground outside of the cage and I believe it to be the one black one that later died.

The time from when I posted this topic, the doe was not pregnant. I rebred her after that successfully and man did she get huge the week before she kindled. My californian doe who also kindled, did not look pregnant. The Brownish colored rabbit that I had the picture of which I thought to be a...

I was looking at the TSC website and I see a metal nest box with a removable wood bottom; it says its 10.5" W 18.5" L 9" H. Is this the one you two use?

Just curious what size nest boxes any of you use for your Calis? I feel like the one I made is on the small side even though it's considered a medium-large size nest box according to your average site that sells nest boxes.

The best rule of thumb to go by in my opinion is about 1 square foot per pound of the rabbits adult weight. So a 10-12 lb NZW, would require 10-12 square feet of floor space. Just remember, recommended size is different than required minimum size; I like to go with the recommended size myself...

I don't have any experience doing it myself, but I have heard you can train rabbits to use a litter box. Maybe someone else one here has done that before that could tell you more.

I dont know then, I bred her to a Californian in hopes of having a larger meat style breed with the fur of my rex or whatever she is cause I really like the fur of her, but was hoping for a larger version. Just a little experimentation on my part to see what would happen. Would you think I would...

I googled the Cinnamon Rabbit, and it does look almost identical, But I was thinking that my rabbits ears are not as long, and my rabbits fur looks shorter. I wonder if its possible that she may be a mini rex breed with Cinnamon in one of the parents? I see too that cinnamons are between 8.5 lbs...

To help pay for any expenses, you can always sell the coon hides to a fur buyer, and there are plenty of them in the south. Southern fur market for coon furs typically are between $12.50 and $22.50 per coon fur depending on size..never hurts to get a few extra bucks for free per say. But if you...

I bought the rabbit a little over a year ago marketed as a mini rex, the only reason I was saying I was unsure if it was mini or a standard was some reason I was maybe thinking that a mini rex would be truly "mini" (what I would think of as being 1-2 pounds). I bought it on craigslist for $10...

the fur is extremely soft and velvety, its definately a mini rex then.

Thanks for the compliment. I might also add that I may have made the mistake of breeding her to a Californian. I never thought about it till afterwards, but wondered if that could cause a problem as she is what Im pretty sure is a mini rex, but could just be a standard rex but Im not sure. Im...

For storing what I do is, Is I have what Im guessing to about a 20 gallon rubber maid tote that is perfect size for a 50 pound bale of alfafa, and I store it in my house. I have another smaller bag that I put a few chunks of hay in and thats what I carry out to feed the rabbits, and then refill...

18 days ago, I had my doe and buck together, in which she was very receptive, and the buck had multiple goes at her, but never finished with falling off to the side. I put them back together the next day, in which she wasnt receptive at all, and wanted nothing to do with him. Since then, shes...

thanks for all the quick responses
