    Our First BLUE Kit!... I think

    A little late but I thought I would update for other breeders. She (I think) is definitely blue! Looks to be more grandmas blue (lighter) than dad (darker). Picture is at 4 weeks. She happens to be the most social of all the litters. My husband thinks we should keep her... Edit: Shes also the...

    Our First BLUE Kit!... I think

    Mom is black (her mom is blue with possible chocolate/lilac genes) and Dad is blue (with possible chocolate/lilac genes) I've been looking online but its really hard to tell. It looks sorta rosey but i'm not sure if the pinkish color is skin or fur. The lighting is not the best right now. We...

    Rabbits having trouble breeding.

    This last time a bred we breed two days in a row. The second day I tried to breed ruby (doe) and topaz (buck), Topaz was not falling off, I put another doe in and he fell off of her immediately. I'm assuming ruby was just sitting and not lifting. I would try table breeding. I also second that...

    Placenta? Kinda getting worried.

    Thank you both for the responses. She ate a dandelion, but still seems on edge. I think I will try a tums. The two DOA were very warm when my husband found them so maybe shes just pausing. She had eight last litter but her other two were smaller 4 alive 1 DOA and 1 alive 1 DOA (accidental...

    Placenta? Kinda getting worried.

    Shes been our best doe so far but not valuable enough for a vet visit. and no oxytocin available. My husband and I have decided to sit and wait. Shes does not like a lot of touch and I'm afraid trying to get her out of the cage my cause more harm than good at this point. but I did get a good...

    Placenta? Kinda getting worried.

    So two of our three bred Silver fox does gave birth today! Our doe Ruby had 2 DOAs One was very large and kinda bloated the other one looked like she pulled it out (streched out with a hole in its belly area). She currently has 4 healthy but unfed kits in the beautiful nest she built. She has...

    Week old rabbit kits

    You got two great responses but I do have to add rabbits do NOT move their babies. Rabbits are very mobile from day one. <br /><br /> -- Sat Jun 09, 2018 3:44 pm -- <br /><br /> http://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Rabbit_sale_laws_in_the_US this has selling rabbit laws in the US

    First litter, Only 3 Kits?

    I'm thinking it would have mostly to do with the age but you really never know. I would also consider how many times the buck fell off. We try for at least 4 times if the doe is oky with it. We also put her in again the next day because that can get the right hormones going. I would breed them...

    neighborhood kids

    Yicks! I would go for pad locks! You could buy they ones that have the sliding numbers so you dont have to use a key. We have our rabbit in the car port currently. We use carabiners (the key chain latch kind) its not a lock but It makes it slightly more of a job to open and I dont think any real...

    Keeping Rabbits Cool in hot temperatures

    We've been freezing glass containers like (old salsa containers seem to work the best). Its a slight pain to figure out which ones will break in the freezer (we but them in plastic bags in the freezer) and how much water to put in them but they cant chew the glass and we havent had a single one...

    Just curious about our silver foxes

    Onyx is our wild child and was more intersted in trying to get of the box than posing. Most of his pictures are blurs. :[ And yes his silvering is the lightest of them all. Are any of the close to the show pose?

    Just curious about our silver foxes

    We raise our silver foxes for meat and sell them. Mostly have been selling to people who also raise for meat but I am curious of the show quality of our rabbits. I know the best way to tell is take them to an expert but I'm not in the place to invest that much time right now. I was just wanting...
