She was a 10 month black tort. Siblings are in the 6-9 lb+ range, she was the runt and was 5ish lbs. The distended bit of colon was all gas and fluid. From your pictures it Def looks like stasis. I would have given her a bit more time to work it out but she started "pausing" when handled and...

Thanks. Haven't had a case this bad yet. Could normally get them going again before it got this far.

I put down a doe today that had been dropping weight fast. She's been super fusy over her feed lately and barely nibbling any hay. I thought it could have been a tooth problem like her mother, bad molars, but then I saw this when I opened her. So Stasis? I had a few others not happy with that...

If you go on to youtube, you can find quite a few videos on ratting with dogs. A lot of larger farms will hire a pack to come in and get the population under control when other methods fail, or they need to keep their Organic certs. It does work. There is even one fellow with trained mink and...

Thanks. Im going to wait till spring to bring any new buns in. Might be able to get on a list though.

Appologies. Ive been busy. Upstate Ny.

I will have to see about floating their teeth. Didnt know it was possible with rabbits. Most of the minis around here are pet quality at best. And the few good ones I've seen were poor tempered. I've probably made this worse by breeding for some recessive colors. :confused:

I have it. Though I have not kept my records up lately. I will update and see. But at this point I will Need to bring in new blood.

I lost both of my original herd does earlier this year do to molar malalignment. They were 5yrs old. My entire herd is based on them. I have had to cull more then a few since do to this molar issue. Wether @ 6 months or the latest didnt show it till 2 yrs. Is there anyway to tell before hand...

It would probably be better to take a few pics and post here over asking a vet. Most of them can't tell either

I dont typically see much Lake effect here, the wind needs to blow just right. Thankfully I am no where near Buffalo and their expected 4ft coming in tonight. Mine rabbits seem to enjoy snow day adventures. As long as its not wet out they will be fine.

Thank you Maggie. That is an idea that might work well for my growouts! I tend not to use the search unless I absolutely have to. My browser is not fully compatible with the search on most forums, I need to turn off too many things or open into Chrome to use it.

Mine seem to think snow is a treat which is great and readily at hand in the winter. I had 75° days and 60° nights less then a week ago. Now its 28 and dropping and if the wind shifts could potentially see 12"+ of snow tonight. :rolleyes:
