alright, last update for awhile, and I have a few more questions lol. They had at least one successful mate and fall off this morning, but when I put ‘em together this evening, the doe was super not into it and was running away and growling. I can tell the buck is now super into the whole...

Tried to breed them in neutral spot, and the buck had zero interest in mounting. He did sniff her out a bit, but I think he’s just too young 😑 good luck with your processing though! Hope it goes smoothly

Did a full physical of him today- he’s got no lesions, sores, or pimples on his eyes, nose, or on his genitals or anus. He does not have sore hocks or a split penis, either. I tried putting the doe into the bucks hutch instead of having them in completely neutral territory. It went horribly...

well, I attempted to look him over for disease and promptly got my eyeball scratched when I tried to flip him over 😑 I’m going to deal with that- then look him over first thing tomorrow and try to get them settled again. The breeder I purchased him from is not local- she is in Oregon and I am in...

I’ll check him over more thoroughly. I gave him a very quick once over, but he got squirmy so I wasn’t the most attentive as I could have been. And you are right on the money with the showing, because I am attending an auction where the rabbits have to be 10 weeks old, so if I can’t get them...

Could I leave them in the same pen overnight or would that be dangerous?

I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to breed two of my rabbits for a while now. Both NZs, the doe almost a year old and has had at least three litters. Buck is not proven, and he is 6 mo old. It’s almost like he can’t figure out how to do it. He’ll go up to her, sniff her then sort of half mount...

You can use revolution for cats as a flea medicine. The dosage table is as follows: Revolution is usually what vets prescribe because it has proven doses for small animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, rats etc.

I would recommend talking to your vet about getting flea medicine specific to bunnies. It’s the safest proven method of controlling fleas. Make sure to wash out your hutch, run, and all of the bedding in it, that’s where the fleas live when not on your animal. If you bunny lives on carpet, make...

I know this is kind of an old thread, but does anyone have any information regarding the safety of these plants? Western serviceberry (amelanchier alnifolia), nootka rose (Rosa nutkana), scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius)?

Not an emergency per se- but my doe lost all but one of her kits (due to scattering them, starving them, and other reasons), and I really need to have the last one to survive weaning 😅. The kit is almost five weeks old, and I’m not going to start weaning until six weeks, but I need to gather as...

I would guess the equivalent of fibreplex would be critical care for herbivores. It is a very high fiber, high calorie supplement that keeps their gut moving. Mixing it with probiotics and feeding it to them has saved many of my bunnies, or given me enough time to take them to the vet or get...

One of my rabbits is currently caring for two kits, and today I noticed that one of them was looking kind of funky. I picked them up, and on first inspection, I noticed there was a yellowish crusty ball on the anus, and whitish discharge from the genitals. The whole thing looks very inflamed and...
