this buck is 1.5 years old currently

I had no idea of this issue! I’ll definitely have to look more into this! Well that’s a bummer, I don’t want to breed a big fault into my lines

To my understanding aren’t solid Rex rabbits of any color, supposed to have a solid color all the way through, because they are of the “self” category? If this is the case why does this buck have almost a ring in his undercoat ? Any info much appreciated! He is indeed all chocolate in color...

Thank you for info!

I also only posted this as I wanted to hear other people’s treatments for eye issues. I also wanted to know if this looked like weepy eye or not. it’s seems like everyone trailed off from what I originally asked. Which is okay, but again I posted for those answers/ advice to those issues.. also...

That’s okay, I did check him over this was an over a year ago now that I bought him. He was very healthy. So, I’m wondering if he wasn’t and the lady never told me he had a reoccurring health issue. It’s been now 2 winters with him and this has happened in both. I wonder this because I never...

That’s quite interesting? Could you link the article/web page by chance? I’d love to read more into this !

Oh yeah! So I mean I plan to incorporate some raw garlic to his feed or maybe get some in his water, so he consumes it in some way. Garlic is a powerful, natural remedy for sickness/colds very helpful for the immune system!

My buck has always had a tiny bit of eye crusts since I got him but it never was a cause for concern as it was such a small amount so I thought it was just allergies as it would also go away sometimes. But it always comes back and this is him currently! pic below. I’ve been giving ACV this past...

Oh yes, definitely always giving free choice orchard grass- forgot to put that in! I’m just brainstorming ideas right now, this recipe I found online that someone uses for their rabbits but they said they give unlimited feed (didn’t make sense to me) which is why I added to it as I wouldn’t...

I really don’t want to go under 16% protein. Currently they usually eat 16-18%

I am thinking of making homemade feed for my (Rex) Rabbits vs buying just the organic stuff. Here are my ideas so far, should I add anything mineral wise or switch anything out for something else? This is a basic recipe I found on Pinterest that I added to: Barley (as fodder) Hulled Oats Black...

Thank you everyone for the information! I’m still learning the colors / genetics side of rabbits and so it’s really appreciated! 😊

Thank you for the info / clarification! How many test breedings should be done to confirm this? I’ve already done 2 breeding that were all brokens. I just don’t want to call her a true Charlie when it’s not true

Interesting, thank you! How would I figure out if my buck is the carrier? I do know his mom was harlequinized.
