If it makes you feel better to cover the cages, then feel free to do it. It won't hurt anything. But the cooler weather really shouldn't bother her or the kits any as long she makes a good nest. (Lots of pulled fur and a nice hole in the hay or straw at the back of the nest box.) Good luck with...

:happybday2u: Happy birthday, Miss M!!! :happybday2u:

Okay, thanks everyone! I think I'll start looking at some feed stores ads in particular... I've never really paid them much attention before, but maybe I'll find something!

:rotfl: Lol, funny bunny!

That does sound like a good idea otterstain, thanks! I think I'll have to add that to the ever-growing list of thing I want to try in my rabbitry... :) Right now I have Hollands, but my plan is to hopefully add Silver foxes once my rabbitry is set up and running more cost efficiently, lol. For...

Lol, I have no idea who most of these people are, but I like some of the names. :)

Hey Everyone, I am looking at buying some cage banks for my rabbitry-in-the-making, and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for the best ways to build/buy such cages? I'd like to have two cage banks with 4 cages in each, or 4 cage banks with two cages per bank. My plan is 24x36 and...

So, any updates on your little hedgies?

I vote... *drumroll please* Kojack! Very cute little bunny by the way!

:lol: And congratulations on the popples! :)

Wow, she is quite beautiful!

Oh, those are such adorable ponies, fuzzy! What I wouldn't give... These are my two horses that I have right now. The appaloosa is a 22yr old gelding, and the sorrel is a 10yr old solid paint mare. And these are my two horses from the past (though one wasn't really "mine") The bay roan is...

:yeahthat: Yep, I do the same. :)

:lol: Haha, yep, no unchaperoned "dates" in my barn either!

My suggestion for learning how to palpate is to first try on an open doe or a buck to get a feel for their "insides". Don't be afraid to push deep in there and feel around! The chance of hurting the doe or possible kits is actually a lot less than you may think. For me personally, I have hard...

Hm, while I am certain that I most likely will not be keeping any kits from the litter for my breeding program. But unfortunately i won't be able to get a new buck for awhile yet... Pet and 4H sales would be where any unkeepable kits would be going, and though Holland kits aren't too hard to...

Okay... So do you think it would be a good idea to do a test breeding for the wool gene or should I just leave her until I get a new buck?

Yes, I have checked her vent, and it is almost always a nice dark pink color, and she responds and lifts to any pressure on the area just above her tail. She has been doing this for awhile now... Should I start breeding her sooner or later? In my place, would you suggest doing the breed back?

I kept a doe (Mimi) from one of Teddy and Izzy's litters together, and I was wondering now, if I should breed her back to Teddy (the sire of a fuzzy holland) to see if she happened to get the fuzzy gene from her parents (she is a full sibling to the fuzzy)? I wanted to keep her and find a new...

That's okay, all of us are at times, and it sounds like you've waited a long time for this litter. :) It is most likely that she won't nurse them in the first 24 hrs, but as long as she is not being mean to the kits, just give her time and I'm sure she will get it done. ;) If not, you can...
