He may be "litter training" himself. Rabbits like to be clean and often pick one corner or one specific spot to go to the bath room in, because of this are relatively easy to "litter train" (I say that loosely as you are really just finding their preferred corner and putting a litter tray in...

These are the two that I have already bred. Here is a slightly better picture of Dahlia's color is anyone wants to take a Crack at guessing. I know I had very pure californian lines/genes on herothers side, but I'm not sure about her dads side. I know he is a tri and that the breeder was using...

I love having Koi inside when I study ether on my bed to hang out or hopping around my room.

It is best not to bath rabbits, at least not in the same way you would a dog. It's really bad for their fur and can, in mostly very untamed rabbits, cause shock. You should find the source of the staining and eliminate that. Is his cage dirty? Is he spraying, if so is he close to a female? Is he...

Some of you may know that the we have been having a lot of trouble with breeding for quite some time, in fact, we have not had a littler sense 06/07/22. This is due to a few reasons, mainly being mystery STDs in the herd (which we have finally seemed to get rid of), and some personal...

Handle them for 30 minutes a day everyday at least. You should also try and and give them pen time where sit/lay in the pen with them without touching/grabbing them, maybe hand feed them treats as well., this will help them see you as less of a threat. Because they are pray animals grabbing them...

Plastic Door Guards are what you are describing. If the rabbits are given ample space, wood chews, and enough food most should not chew on the door guards. Keep in mind, some may still have an acquired taste for plastic no mater what you do. Other options would be to use an grinding wheel to...

Possible Cause: My theory in what happens is that she had an injury to her leg first, this then led the favoritisms of one leg and too much pressure on the other causing the sore hock. Sitting crooked could also make he pee stream hit the wrong spot/her leg. She was probably laying down, rubbing...

You can’t usually see colors until they are a few days old (unless your are breeding like pure blacks or something), I believe that is why he said 40.

Given that she and the buck are both successful breeders and that she has made a nest I would say she is, or at least was pregnant. I would Inspect her for a stuck kit, and giver her another 5 days to see if she is just having an off delivery (I always wait 5 days after day 32 to be sure, this...

Visual Update. I do not have the data sheet yet to give exact measurements, but here is a visual update of how things are going. The experiment group is on the right and the control is on the left.

She did not take, sadly. Given how the breeding wen’t I wasn’t very hopeful anyway. However, there doesn’t seem to have been any STD problems so I think we are in the clear there. I I will be breeding again ether tomorrow or on Halloween. This time I will be breeding UFTC7 to Keith. They are...

I am taking a botany class this quarter and one of our main assignments is to do an experiment on basil plants and document the affects it has on their growth. There was a list of experiments that we could choose from(CO2 injections, petting the plants, playing music, adding moss, etc.) or if we...

I just asked the judges at our state fair show and they said it would count as a fault if it was not pre-approved (sometimes coop numbers are put in the rabbits ears at state, hence why I was asking) and that was the answer they gave me. OP said a “sharpie marke” in the wrong ear. That is not...

It would be considered a fault. A distraction from the over all appearance of the rabbit that will subtract points, but does not result in a disqualification. (Or would be treated the same as pee stains or long toe nails) Rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball should get it out, might need to scrub a...
