So early Christmas for me!

Sagebrush-Well I am new to this. I really have no idea what happened. She was in a barn that was 44 degrees, had a good nest built, they were tucked in the straw and a bit of hair. I think she had them Monday morning-reason I say this is up until then she was sitting in the nest box and she...

Well my instincts were correct. Second bunny was pregnant. She had two perfectly marked black broken bunnies yesterday morning. BUT this morning they were dead. :cry: What is the soonest I can re breed her?

Loving all the pics! Thanks for sharing.

I was disappointed...it would have been my first litter of mini rex. Got another doe due tomorrow. She looks full. I put the nestbox in and she promptly ate and dug out all of the straw and shavings. Gave her more straw and she has built a nest and pulled hair yesterday. Now today she is just...

She wasn't pregnant.

I was thinking it varied with the rabbit. My gut is telling me she isn't pregnant though.

Just curious if your does ever look pregnant? I am new to rabbits. I have a first time(for her and me) mini rex doe due Tuesday and she doesn't "look" pregnant. I put the nest box in this morning.

Looking for tips on how to trim a bunny that is less than thrilled with getting her nails trimmed any tips would greatly be appreciated.

wildeden-thanks for your reply. I have looked that up and white hairs are a fault and a white spot would be a fault/DQ. I have had three more people look him over and that "white spot" has eluded them also. So going to take him to the next show.

My mini Rex's are beginning to molt is there any way to speed up this process? I was hoping to show more this fall.

Both judges told me he was a nice rabbit, good head & ears, nice topline, good width all that and he is beginning to molt. They did not have comment cards as I was hoping they would. Being a newbie at this rabbit stuff I need all the help I can get...LOL! Bottom line I really like him and I...

I really enjoyed showing and can' t wait for the next show!

Well showed at my first rabbit show. My initial question was about white hairs. The first show there were 4 in the class and he took second. In the second show the judge disqualified him for a white spot. So I asked where and he said on his back??? I graciously took my rabbit and then went and...

Thanks for the replies and they are in line with what I was thinking. I will look back at the pedigree and see what is there. Either which way I plan on crossing them and then crossing my fingers! :lol:
