I’ve actually had a doe that moved her kits one time. I had built a drop down nest box for her but she wouldn’t use it. So I put a nest box inside for her and she wouldn’t use it. She pulled all the hay to make a nest in the corner of her cage. So I pulled the nest box out. Well she ended...

See I’ve tried intervening and adding probiotics and corrid and probiotics and then doing nothing. I’ve added more hay, less hay. Used different does and bucks and kept them on the same feed. Made sure they have very clean cages, slightly dirty poopy cages where they for sure have cecotropes…...

Yeah I’m trying it for a bit to see if it’s the culprit

I’ve been having the same issue with mine, but it’s when they hit about 5-6 weeks. They go from perfect babies to diarrhea and dying. I finally realized it might be the little bit of oats/sunflower seeds I’m giving them. I stopped that in all my baby cages about 13 days ago and so far my baby...

He’s a pretty good looking boy to me, but I’m new to all of this. When we took our tri girl to the ARBA show the second judge said she didn’t have enough black for her brown. They are supposed to be 50% of each color according to them. He looks to be pretty even.

I was going to say the same thing. I have a colony setting but I like to cage mine for birth so I can keep my kits tame. However I like to cage girls together whenever possible. So I’ll will put 2 in a regular cage or 4 in my huge pen. eve if I give them plenty of nest boxes they will put...

Your welcome

I actually have had several does over the summer that got mastitis when they were nursing. One had lost the majority of her litter( that caused hers), another had repeated false pregnancies (that caused hers) and another just seemed to get it. It all cases I gave them penicillin shots every 3...

Hi. So I have a black New Zealand doe who has some very thin strips of almost not there white hairs. I’m guessing that is her marks for the carrier of the BEW gene. She throws me some beautiful blue eyed beauties. Now her first litter she gave me all black kits, 1 blue with a mane (she’s...

We’re in Tennessee are you? I’m in Arkansas if you happen to be close to the Arkansas side of Tennessee I have some REW New Zealand’s that are almost ready. I’m sure there got to be some girls in there. I’m a bit west of Little Rock

Mine love being held that way too

Why not? Mine love to be held upside down and loved on! I start when they are young. Both my daughter and I can get most of our bunnies super chill that way and they flip out just like that bunny in the picture. They will only do that if they are super comfortable with you and trust you

31-32 was the longest with live births. I had one that held them for a week past and delivered them all dead

There’s something on Amazon that is a squirrel milk replacer that also specifies rabbit as well.

I was using that and my rabbits loved it but all of my babies were getting diarrhea at about 4-5 weeks. Are any of your babies doing that?
