I have black tort and black harlequin Rex rabbits, I’ve been offered a marten seal buck but I don’t know what the colour outcomes could potentially be? The torts and Harlequin’s have black self in their background. The m.s. buck is sired by two marten seal parents. Picture of offered buck.

If you’re worried about weight just up the hay intake and make sure you don’t feed too many pellets (no more than 25% of daily food intake)..personally I wouldn’t worry too much, baby looks healthy and bright. Like a human child, under feeding will have a long lasting impact on growth etc...

Lynx?

One of my bucks screams at every fall off, I’m guessing it’s pleasure as he’s always keen for more…like Maggie said, if it was the doe screaming maybe she had just had enough

They do yes, they share a sleeping space but it‘s divided so there is lots of room. Reckon I’ll give it a shot, any signs of aggression and I can separate them. Thanks!

Hi all, okay so in a nutshell: I have two does (mother and daughter) cohabiting a large inside/outside enclosure. They get on very well. If I breed the daughter, is it likely the mother (who is the dominant of the two) will take issue? I can separate them if necessary but would prefer to keep...

First up, I’m sorry to hear of your breeding troubles…it can be tough. Secondly, possibly unintentionally, your thread has made me LOL..dry humour or what. Love it. Fingers crossed you have better luck next time round, and maybe don’t breed from that doe again..

Rabbits can be given aspirin or inbuprofen but you‘d need to check dosage first..if he’s in pain that will help, but won’t solve the problem which sounds like stasis unfortunately… pale mucous membranes are not a good sign

Meantime, you could bath in a salt water solution to keep the risk of infection at bay..

Are you able to get a photo? Could be something like papillomatosis (CRPV) which I would think may require a vet trip if the skin is broken and they are clearly irritating her. If it is CRPV then the nodules/warts can recede on their own but it sounds like they are causing discomfort..unless any...

@Zee-Man is mattress stitch the same as blanket? If so, that’s what I use when edging a hide. And as for waxed thread, I’d think it would work very well, better than normal in terms of durability and strength. Or one could use embroidery thread which is pretty tough and comes in beautiful...

@RabbitsOfTheCreek oh no! I’m hoping the skin isn’t broken?! If not hopefully it will heal on its own nicely

@RabbitsOfTheCreek ahh so maybe no good for showing but she’s still a cute little rabbit..one of mine has a skewed tail so he’s no good for show but he’s still a lovely buck.

Aww how come? I have standard rex and they are like giants compared to Pearl!

Pearl looked very calm, and interested to be in her new home. She’s a beautiful little rabbit 😊
