Akane you have described my doe perfectly there! Thanks a lot everyone for replying. Alkane what do these babies look like to you? Opal maybe? I had thought most agouti colours were born pink but I guess not?

I became a bunny - grandma today :P My frosty point mini rex had 5 babies this morning. Stud is my blue self buck. I'm guessing they are a litter of blue selfs as they are all dark but they or at leat some seem to have pink tummys. I will post some pics and would anyone with experience let...

Ah rubbish :( well it's not, he's beautiful but I really didn't need 2 bucks, Gideon has some competition! So he will in the future be paired up with my frosty point doe and hopefully a blanket broken choccy otter doe if my friends doe produces one. At least his name could work :)

Well here's some pics of bunny, I still think buck (if so I don't think bunny will be able to carry off the name 'Little Suzie'). If any of you could give your input I'd be very grateful :)

Even rudey ones? Hope the neighbours dont see..... I'll add a few more tomorrow, I love showing them off :)

Thanks for the link, it was that post which made me question the breeders verdict. Im convinced there's a 'tube' rather than a slit, in the morning I will try and get a pic and see what you guys think if you dont mind.

Thank you, the plan is to put her to my blue self buck (if she is a doe) so I would be very happy with blue self and broken blue (hopefully heavily marked). She isn't quite booted. If she turns into a 'he' who knows! It's staying regardless but if it is a he then I wouldnt put him to my bew...

Thank you for replying. Sorry if I wasnt clear, yes she is from someone else, my blue self is her future love interest :) I will check his pedigree to see whats further back in his lines, I know his sire and dam are both blue though. I doubt he carries non extension :( I only have 1 pic of...

I have a quickie regarding the broken gene if anyone knows... I got a new baby today, a blanket broken blue doe (she is stunning!!). My buck is a blue self (from blue selfs). I know I will get a mix of selfs and brokens but will she throw 'normal' brokens, blanket brokens or a mixture? Or am I...

You know what I havent been checking their vents, I am going out shortly to feed and water so will have a look (hope the neighbours arent looking)!

Thanks for replying, the breeders I got the rabbits off (3 seperate) all first try their girls at 5 months so I was just going along with what they said. But then started worrying about weights! :) I was also a little worried of waiting longer and the kits being born as the weather was getting...

I weighed my 3 today, my big girl who is 18 weeks weighs in at 4.2lb, my dinky bew girl who is almost 20 weeks weighs in at 3.1lb and my sexy boy weighs in at 3.2lb. How are these weights for breeding? My plan was to put the girls to stud at the same time but im not sure my bew girl is large...

Thanks for answering. :) I will weigh the girls when my scales come, I would be shocked if the younger girl wasnt adult weight.

I am trying to find when is the best time to put my 2 girls to my stud. 2 breeders have told me 5 months, 1 said 6 months and advice online can vary. One girl is big! She's been fully grown since about 12 weeks, she is a bit bigger than my stud, she is 17 weeks. My other girl is 19 weeks and...

Just a quickie if anyone knows, what would a blue rex buck (from blue x blue) and a blue tort doe produce in theory?? :)

I'm just going to add a couple more pics if that is ok, the small BEW girl seems to be coming on now :) The first pic is the day we got the bigger girl home so the bigger girl was 9 1/2 weeks and the small girl was 8 1/2 weeks. There's a massive difference, the second pic is from tonight. The...

I'll be keeping my buck separate but nearby. The other thing which worries me is knowing which kits belong to who. If all goes well and they can stay together I'd hope they would have their own nests, how do you deal with that?

Thanks both, I will head over to the colony section. Keep us posted how the mating goes ohioatgirl :) and how they do together afterwards. My 2 are mini rex and although not sisters they have been together since 8 weeks (they are still very young yet though). I have a large space for them...

Do any of you breeders keep any does together? I have spoken one breeder who keeps 2 girls together all the time, through pregnancy and even once kits are born. They happily live together. The breeder of my BEW girl also keeps a couple of pairs of does but splits them once mated and...

Thanks so much for replying, i'm reassured about the smaller doe now. I'll still keep an eye on her full grown size and weight as I wont be mating her if she is likely to be too small to kindle safely. They will be used for pets so I know size doesn't make much difference, I just didn't want...
