Located in northeast Arkansas (Pocahontas). Pedigreed. This litter is from a broken blue buck and a chocolate tri color doe with lots of tri and Harlequin in her pedigree. I have: Self chocolate buck Broken black buck 2 broken chocolate bucks Broken chocolate doe with nice full butterfly Broken...

This morning he was sitting up, grooming himself and looked MUCH better! Less wobbly, more active, his ears are perkier and he had ate his whole bowl of oats and drank most of his bowl of water. I gave him more oats and refilled his water. I'll get more berries and plantain today and hope he...

Yesterday evening he looked a little better. I gave him some oats and he ate a little. He had drank a little from his bowl. I'm going to hunt for more blackberries today. He also ate some plantain yesterday that I had found.

My main Rex buck, the one I had posted about having what I thought were yucky scent glands is in bad shape. Yesterday he was very weak and lethargic. He barely ate his pellets, which I had to get a small bag of different feed because TSC was out of my usual feed and I was completely out. They...

What have the temps been like in the last couple months? How old are the does and did they produce kits before? The older a doe is the first time she's bred, the harder it can be to get her to become pregnant. What breed are they? Do they ever pull fur and nest as if they were pregnant?

No, just wire with plastic resting mats and a tile.

Those temps are not the norm for our summers and I think those temps only lasted a couple days. I didn't lose any during that really hot spell with the fans going but I know without the fans I would have lost a few. I think today it's 95 but heat index makes it feel like 100+.

My Rex buck, Lee, has had some issues with poor coat, weight loss, lack of appetite, which I guessed was mainly due to how hot it has been here. Nobody is exactly going crazy on feed lately. But yesterday evening I pulled him out and was trying to get some tufts of hair out and flipped him over...

I name all my breeders and my pedigreed babies. I have for breeders: Joy, Twitch, Angel, Cain, Buccee, Benjamin, Lee, Snowflake, JJ, Crush, FancyLike, Casper, Savanna, Charlotte, and N17. My current litter of Rex are: Indian Outlaw, Troubador, Huckleberry, Calamity, Texas Ruby, Plain Jane...

I'm in Arkansas and it's hot here too. Back in June when our temps hit 120+ heat index I took two shop fans down to the barn and have ran them every day. The rabbits eat better when they are cool and it's rather nice not to sweat to death just feeding and watering lol.

Just to update: Me and my husband had an offer to buy the house we were in the process of buying from my parents, but because my mom never took action when the bank/credit card company sued her, they put a lien on that house so when we sold it, it all went towards paying off what was left owed...

I have decided to hold onto Outlaw and show him this fall.

I have a litter of pedigreed Rex that will be able to leave on July 14. Sire is a broken blue, dam is REW. Color correct pedigrees. Complete pedigrees. Blue buck is a nice show prospect. Broken blue otters lack nose markings so they are only brood quality. Blue otter doe did not cooperate for...

Thank you for the info. I had never heard that about the Vitamin E but it's definitely worth looking into. I do feed 16% pellets that are a complete feed. I am also 99% sure neither doe is underweight. The white doe just barely meets the weight requirement. I have been raising rabbits over 5...

Not by me it hasn't and since everyone has different situations and things going on, everyone should be allowed to ask questions. I'm sure lots of people have asked about the same color, or had the same questions about lots of different things. Normally, if I have nothing to say in response to a...
