Praying that things will soon turn around for you. I hate to see anyone have to give up their passion and what they love, I encourage you to find ways to move forward. Maybe find the voice recognition equipment so you can read what you want to type while it types it out for you, and look at...

On day 31, I find it much easier to see baby kicks. I have never been able to palpate. The kicks like little punches (easily confused with a rolling motion made from the intestines, that all rabbits have. But once you see the jerky kicks you will know its them) and you sometimes have to sit...

I remember how impatient I was for our first litter, and even still I get anxious and also watch from the window:) It could be either, a true or false pregnancy. It also matters what time of the day you bred her. If it was evening, then you would actually start counting from the following...

I think you still can, but I would go really slow and not worry about getting a ton of litters. I would not breed back to back, and would stick to breeding once then seeing how it goes. But the thing about breeding is that most that get into it do it to better their respective breeds. So if...

I have had excellent luck with checking that readiness window and breeding during the dark red/purple time frame, and putting them on the ground in an exercise pen. I have never had one refuse doing those 2 things. They need to be getting good overall nutrition and be in good overall health to...

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!

What works for me (and it can depend on what type you breed and your location), is to have a business facebook page. It allows me to share information about bunny care and things happening in the rabbitry, and to announce new litters or rabbits that are going into breeding retirement. People...

Happy Birhtday!!! Have a fantastic day!

Happy Birthday! Hope its a great day for you!

Thats probably just when her days of readiness are. They don't have heat cycles, but very few of mine are actually ready to be bred at any time. I check their vents and light pink=not ready, bright red=prime readiness, deep purple=ending the readiness cycle. I do have some that for whatever...

For 4-H, with Californians, we can get them to 5-5 1/2 lbs in 8 weeks. But thats feeding prime feed and 2-3 times per day, with some chunks of sweet potato to wet their appetite occasionally. Breed truly makes a huge difference, so what Sagebrush said is correct and I second that qurestion...

great-ill put a little in a syringe and see if it will help. Its been open for a while, hopefully its still good.

That’s correct. Some mini dwarfs, and really any mini breeds do not carry the dwarf gene, and are not true dwarfs.

Thank you Zass! He is still not eating from mom tonight but continues to lap up eye dropper fulls of milk and gas drops. Is this still the best treatment if it is a bacterial overgrowth? Poop is solid, much lighter than normal I think because of the change in diet. Siblings seem fine, and I...
