I am dealing with something that sounds extremely similar... How did things go with your doe?

Hi All, I have a 12 week old, Holland lop doe (Blackbell) who has developed pimples all over her vent sheath (is that what you call it for a doe?). In my rabbitry, I only have 3 other rabbits and a couple of 2 week old kits, aside from this affected doe and her litter mates, whom I have already...

So... What is a genetically self REW? Do you mean a REW that is has a full extension gene? ie: aaB_ccD_E_ Genetically a self without the C_. And why would those particular C-locus colors be different?

Right, that would make sense to prove that she isn't a seal. But how, if I can, can I prove that she is a Siamese sable and not a black? There is a picture of her on my website if that helps any. Sorry, my brain is a little slow today. :oops:

The seal doe is the one that I own, but I know the breeder and have been watching the results of these litters. Since there is no way for the seal to be a true seal, you are saying that she is actually a dark Siamese sable? If that's true then what is her genotype? And is there any chance she...

Okay so here's a quick genetics question... A broken black buck was bred to a solid black tort doe. The resulting litter had a black, a seal, and a broken sable point. Next, the dam (solid black tort) was bred to her son, the broken sable point. Resulting litter was three REWs. Now tell me...

Hm, I'm not really sure what I will decide. Her vent was swollen when posted this topic, and the total duration of her swollen and slightly pussy vent was about 1 week or just under. She looks normal now. Is there any chance that it could have just been an irritation? I plan on keeping her...

Thanks, ladysown! I've wiped away some of the pus and I'll try what you've recommended. She is already doing a bit better. Hopefully it clears up completely. Do you think this can't be used for breeding? She is the only survivor of a litter that was important to my breeding program and I was...

Dood, yes, I have checked the does and I usually try to make sure they are in a good, receptive mood before I let the buck have a go. Hm, thank you Sinnfox, I will try some of those suggestions to get some weight on him. It has been almost impossible to get him to put on pounds! :? Maybe that...

This is the first time that I've run into a problem like this, and I'm not sure what to do about it. :shock: One of my does has a singleton kit that is about 3 weeks old now. I have been taking the kit out daily and holding it and checking the vent every few days to a week. Just yesterday...

About 2 months ago I bought two new rabbits for my rabbitry; A big brood doe and a nice small, typey buck. Both are Holland Lops and appear to be in good health. But I cannot get kits! The buck is about 3 years old and has produced kits in his past, according to his previous owner (a rabbit...

Where have all the pictures gone?

I do plan to explain it to them and suggest they go online for more information, but I'd like to at least have the basics on paper for them. Even if I can just borrow the structure of someone else's document, I can then just make the minor adjustments that I need for my breed and my own...

I should have remembered this before today... But our hard drive, the one with all my rabbit documents that I send with new buyers, crashed a little while ago and I still can't access any of my files. I have someone coming to pick up a new bunny in six hours and I need to have something on hand...

Okay, thanks for the input. Legally around here, the rules are no sales under 4 weeks old. Since this little buck is already eating and drinking very well on his own I think I will tell the guy yes, but I'm going to recommend a few extra days of quiet adjustment time for the little guy. I'm...

Okay, I have two 7.5 week old kits that are being sold for pets, but I have a small problem. I haven't been able to wean them yet because I have no cage space; my new cages aren't quite ready for use. I have had several inquiries and I even have someone who would like to pick up one of them up...

I would try palpating her. If you feel kits in there, then I would definitely wait and see what happens. But, if you don't feel anything inside then I would go ahead and rebreed. Here's a link to my experience with doe that didn't deliver: pregnant-doe-day-40-t19128.html My doe also pulled fur...

Okay, I gave Lollie some dried herb mixed in with her feed but so far I haven't seen anything going on. I was wondering though... I palpated her again and still felt that lump, but out of curiosity I took out a different doe who had kindled 7 weeks ago and palpated her. I felt the same type of...

I have wooden boxes with wire mesh flooring. When I'm preparing the box for mama I put in a piece of cardboard on the bottom and then about an inch of shavings. I usually stuff the box full of hay, or straw if I have doe that tends to eat her nest, and then punch an indent into the nesting...

Thank you, MSD. I'll try some of the herbs you suggested a little later. Has anyone ever had success with herbs? Also, do dry and fresh herbs work equally well? And if I use dried herbs, what quantities are needed for success?
