This is Bosco in his homemade cage before we bought cages from KW Cages. He's a cutie--if I do say so, myself! lol

They get a mix of oats, barley, and sunflower seeds. And hay grass through out the day. I'm not sure if he is really overweight or not. When it's breeding time, they both get put in a seperate cage just for the act then back to their own after. <br /><br /> -- Sun Aug 14, 2016 7:27 pm -- <br...

Thanks! So, he's just too hot? We've had a few 95+ heat index days...

Hi. We have a buck that seems to have developed a problem completing his task. Could it be a problem with weight? How do you get him to exercise to lose any pudge that's getting in the way? Or, is there some other problem that could be preventing him from latching on and getting the deed...

Hi. Our doe is on her 3rd go around with us. She will be 2 yrs old in Oct. She didn't do well the 1st go. She did do well the 2nd--gave us 5 kits. She was just mated a week ago and she is already carrying hay in her mouth. Does she want a nest already? Is she going to miscarry? She is in a...

They were dead. :( They are in cages in the house. Thanks for the good luck! I hope it goes better this time.

Sorry for the late response and the confusion. She had 6 kits. But then the nest was flat when they were 6 days old. We fed her mint for a week and we are giving her another go. She and our buck have had 3 "dates"-the 3rd being today. <br /><br /> -- Sat Apr 11, 2015 5:13 pm -- <br /><br />...

It's just a tiny heater about 8 inches high that we had out in the entry way of our house where the rabbits are. Just when it was really cold. <br /><br /> -- Wed Apr 01, 2015 8:29 am -- <br /><br /> He also said that one looked like it had claw marks like she was stepping on it. The other...

We did have a late season snow last night, but they have a little space heater--so they shouldn't be cold. What do you think of adding lemon juice for vitamin C? My husband is taking it really hard because it's his first try at this and he feels horrible. He was checking the kindle 2 days ago...

Help please! We found the kindle lost today were about 6 days old--not sure why. Momma was kind of tired looking the last few days. Thought maybe she needed calcium. Added some calcium and apple cider vinegar to their water. She seemed better more perky. Don't want to lose momma to milk...

Thank you for the responses! She has hair in the nest this morning. So, we are hoping this means she will have the rest of her kits today or tomorrow? Sunday would've been her day 30. The breeder we got them from said she was like a clock. Maybe her new home got her stressed out and she...

We are new to this breeding thing. Our doe should've had her kindle on Sunday. Tonight we found a dead baby on the floor of her cage. Is she still going to have more? Should we breed her again now? She is supposed to be a proven mother. At least I paid for that. The buck is a newbie too...

Oops!! Guess I goofed the misquote too! :oops: I guess my ears aren't the greatest either! Thanks for not making fun of my goof.

A couple more I've heard: Steve Miller's "big ol' jet airliner" as "big ol' Jed had a light on". Or, Elton John's Tiny Dancer "hold me close I'm tired of dancing" misheard as "hold me close young Tony Danza". :lol:

Newbie alert! We are just getting started in this game. We had our buck & doe have their fun a few days in a row. How do we know if she is preggers? She does not seem as receptive as she was at first.
