I've had rabbits 8 years now and I've never had a doe eat a baby. All of my litters have lived, only a few random (one in a litter) babies have died. I think I have only lost three babies in 8 years. I agree with others it could be a spooked by a preditor thing. Also rats can get through way...

About keeping your rabbits apart or together: If you want to be safe and practical and avoid extreme vet bills- keep them apart. I would remove the young female right now to keep her safe. You may not realize it but rabbits when they fight are worse than cats and dogs. Male bucks will try so...

I was looking up some info on my older posts and came across this post and thought I would chime in. I was a newbie here way back in 2012. So I started breeding rabbits 7 years ago. I think with your babies dying its either the heat, or they have bacterial enteritis or coccidiosis- if you...

All I can say is put lots of extra hay in for her or something so her boobies don't touch the wire and try to find ways to make it easier for her. I feel sorry for all pregnant animals- to me they always look like they feel too hot and uncomfortable with all the extra milk, even without the...

Thank you so much for answering... phew that's a relief. So I don't have to worry so much. Thanks. Her name is Lulu and she's my favorite. :)

Same thing happened to me-- I was nursing the runt on the momma and she was mad and tried to flip herself over and she kicked the baby and it hit the wood floor and bounced and it got a deep scratch from mommas nails.... but it did live. I was surprised... also, I learned not to put neosoporin...

I stepped on a nail and 4 hours latter its started hurting like crazy- so I went to the after hours hospital. But before I went I ran around feeding and watering all my rabbits- going ouch ouch ouch, with every step. .....and I accidently left the door open to my stud boys cage. When I came back...

I have jersey woolies. I restrict pellets and still as may rabbits get older they tend to get a bit fatter. I give about 1/8 to 1/4 cup of pellets and give them hay at all times and also they get fresh grass and whatever weeds I can forage, like dandelions, nastertiums, and plantain. If you...

One of my rabbits has mites that: They are whitish, and Look smaller than a grain of salt, very tiny, I can only see them with two pairs of glasses on. ANd they crawl around really FAST in his fur. His fur doesn't seem affected- there is no missing fur at all which is weird? and his skin...

__________ Sun Jul 02, 2017 2:24 am __________ Lose stools can come from having to much richness in thier diet, like others said, so... If they got the flax seeds and also the same amount of pellets they usually get - it might added up to create too much richness in their diet which causes...

I know this has been resolved and the bunny is ok but if it ever happens again I think it was GI stasis which is a slowing down of digestive system and can lead to a blockage, sometimes caused by ingesting fur during molt- and it creates discomfort gas and dehydration. If it ever happens again...

I think they could manage the rabbit problem just by hunting, but some farmers say there is not enough ammunition, and some land is so steep and hilly hunters can't easily get to the rabbits. Here is a photo of a rabbit hunt they hold once a year if they would just do it three times a year...

The RHDV2 was just recently found in some rabbit in Australia last year. No one knows how it got into Australia. It could have been smuggled in by a farmer or it could have gotten there accidentally. So interesting to hear they are asking the same thing in Germany. :o If it got in...

I'm not familiar with Empire news but to me it sounds like whoever they are, they might be siding with one of the third party candidates instead of Trump or Hillary. This is the weirdest election in history. I was enjoying the entertainment value, but I now feel like— someone wake me up and tell...

Hi, I used to post on here quite a lot when I first got my rabbits but haven't been here for a while. I'm an American living with rabbits in New Zealand and when I first got my rabbits learned everything I know from people on this site :) I thought I would share to you, this bad, bad, news I...
