Thanks Miss M! Though it is a bit overdue :oops: another update though. Rabbits have the runny nose again. This has coincided with our dry spell and heat. Lots of dust in the pens and urine smell under the hutches. I have been pressure washing and sanitizing all summer. Creating and building...

What beauties! Thank you for sharing. :)

Thanks everyone. I am much relieved that for now it seems my wait and see approach sounds alright. I just got back from a crazy trip so I can and will respond more tomorrow. Thanks -- Tue Aug 05, 2014 6:45 pm -- So, cooler weather today but still quite dusty. There is dust everywhere out...

Hello everyone. My name is Hucklekree. And like many of you I also suffer from rabbitosis. However, I only found rt after I had developed my addiction. I have been affected from a young age when I aquired my first bunny. I was in remission for a while and during that time I discoved I suffer...

Does generally do not get along unless raised together. But there are exceptions of course. Generally unaltered does are far more territorial due to their need to have a safe nesting spot. Their hormones are strong. So yeah a male is a safet gamble but not necessarily a sure one. I have two does...

While I do agree that a mating is possible in this situation. I just went through this with our crazy temperature changes. Have you checked the does readiness? If her vulva is dark purple she is ready even dark red. If its pink or whitish shes just not ready. The only reason i say this is...

Yay! Very exciting We got a chocolate sallander out of our rabbits a couple litters ago shes a beaut. Pictures of yours please?

I agree those were/are my favorite. I would wait all spring for them to appear and then follow them around watching to see what they did. We had the big yellow and black ones and also the black and white ones.

So then I am correct that he is carrying c(chd) but has C as well. So a reworked genetics would be: AaBBCc(chd)Ddee The other part of it, how in the world did I get him from two selfs...easy they aren't selfs. I was wondering if steel could have had that effect. So does that mean all of the...

Hello everyone! I have had quite a few new popples born lately and a few have stumped me on color. Particularly when it comes to the c-locus. So here's the background: I bred a fawn/apricot colored buck to a broken black doe and got four ermine/frosties out of the lot and no reds/fawns. I'm...

Not all of what I listed is considered a real benefit of BOSS just all of what we've noticed so far in our herd since using it. One of the biggest problems on the list is the feeder digging. We were lucky to have not encountered digging before now and I kick myself daily when I walk out into...

I don't know a whole lot about the genetics of rabbit colors, only enough to serve my purposes. But Both look blue...to me. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong but could one of them be a self chin blue? Or am I misunderstanding the way that self chins look? Or even that there are such a thing...

Those kits look sassy! So I have an interesting story that applies here. It happened just today as I just had a litter kindle this morning. The background info: we have been in the high eighties for the past two weeks which paired with virtually absent precipitation has been wreaking havoc...

Good thoughts and prayers sent your way.
