    Anyone else keep scalies? *DUW :)*

    Lucky you seeing an Indigo in it's natural habitat!! :D I would love to see that one day. It's a shame so many are killed simply because they look like big, black scary snake. Most people don't realize that not only do Indigos take care of the rodent population but they have quite the taste for...

    Anyone else keep scalies? *DUW :)*

    I really appreciate that Miss M! Snakes aren't for everyone but I think people should respect animals for what they are. People don't have to like my pets but they don't need to be rude about it by saying they are monsters or ugly. Heaven forbid I'd call their children that, though I've met...

    Anyone else keep scalies? *DUW :)*

    The Mexican Black Kings are great! I hear people refer to them as the "poor man's indigo". Eastern Indigos aren't allowed in Ontario without a permit? I know here in the US you need a permit for traveling over state lines. If you live in a state where they are a native species it's pretty much...

    Any 'Horse People'?

    I'm currently horseless but I've had two horses in the past few years. When we moved up to Washington from Los Angeles I immediately started begging my parents to finally let me get a horse (I was one of those horse-crazed city kids). They ended up having me sign-up with the school's 4H...

    Need help with Lionhead colors

    Dood, I wasn't trying to upset you. I'm certainly not experienced with rabbit genetics but I haven't heard of blue points referred to as blue sable points on any genetic/color guide websites I've looked at. As for genotype letter codes I found this: Sable point: aaB_c(chl)_D_ee Blue point...

    Need help with Lionhead colors

    From what I read blue points are a dilute like blues are a dilute of black. So (if he is one) he would be a blue point, not a blue sable point. I think that would be the equivalent of referring to a blue himi as a blue black himi. There are lilac points, blue points, chocolate points and sable...

    Need help with Lionhead colors

    Wait, Dood, you're talking about Boy #2 the 3rd rabbit pictured. Not Boy #3 right? lol This whole time I thought you were referring to Boy #3. __________ Sat Jul 06, 2013 1:51 pm __________ Here is a sable point marten LH. Very similar to my light boy, but again, the light male has blue...

    Need help with Lionhead colors

    I'm not trying to be argumentative but based on the black tort Lionheads I've seen, these babies do not look like them lol Here are some black tort babies closer to the age of mine. http://www.circuslionsrabbitry.com/phot ... es/015.JPG http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y105/m ... 0_2881.jpg...

    Need help with Lionhead colors

    I was thinking he was a black tort. He isn't my buck and I've never seen him in person. I purchased the doe already bred by him. As for the sable point, none of these rabbits look at all like sable points to me. http://www.cimmarononline.com/Cimmaron% ... 20%20r.jpg ^ Every sable point LH...

    Need help with Lionhead colors

    Black torts very dark brown/black markings though don't they? Every one of these babies (except for boy #2 and girl #1) is blue/lilac tinted. There are variances in their saddle colors but none of them have any black tort markings. Here is mom: And dad: I'll have their pedigrees up in a...

    Need help with Lionhead colors

    Hi everyone! It has been so long since I posted on here since we took a break from raising rabbits for a while. I have a litter of Lionheads that I'm a bit puzzled with. Our past Lionheads produced mostly Chestnut, Blues, Blacks, etc so figuring out colors was simple as can be. This litter is...

    1st litter of the year!

    My F1 black Lionhead doe, Astrid, greeted me with a fur-filled nest box with 9 little feisty babies yesterday morning. She was 3 days past due and was bred to a black NZ cross buck named Akryn. She had 5 blacks, 2 whites (I think) and a little blue (my favorite color). These guys will be...

    Contemplating moving due doe to new cage?

    Thanks for the help guys! I decided it would be best to leave her be. Though she is a calm rabbit she is a new mom and I wouldn't want to stress her out. She has been moving some of her straw around (and taste testing :P) and has been more comfortable with the nest box this time around. Tomorrow...

    Contemplating moving due doe to new cage?

    I recently posted a thread about one of my does having had her 1st litter on the wire (lost all of them). It was her first litter so I didn't think too much of it. She is now carrying her second litter and they are due this Friday. This is my favorite little doe (chestnut agouti Lionhead) bred...

    Doe's 1st litter on the wire :(

    I was thinking about putting a small box with only a slight lip in there. Do I move the babies into the nestbox afterwards or ??

    Doe's 1st litter on the wire :(

    Ok then, I just went out and checked on her and she's taken all of her fur that was in the nestbox and is carrying it around her cage!! Is there anything I can do to make the nestbox more inviting for her? Or am I going to have to just wait and see what happens and hopefully catch the babies in...

    Doe's 1st litter on the wire :(

    I'll definitely keep that in mind with the future litters. Some interesting news. I had to run out and fill up some of the rabbit's water bottles and Brynn is sitting in her nestbox pulling fur and rearranging her nest in there! I didn't get a good look because I want to leave her alone for a...

    Doe's 1st litter on the wire :(

    Oh jeez. Well two are in the freezer and two have already been served. Man, I hope I didn't mess up :( I had never read anything about kits "waking up" after being frozen. It's hard to believe that something that was so cold, especially a baby, could revive from it. I moved some of her hair...

    Doe's 1st litter on the wire :(

    Thanks so much for the help. If they were still alive I think they would have reacted since I had them under a heat lamp for a while. (I own snakes and I'd rather these little ones go to good use so I was warming them up) They had no reaction and seem very much dead :\ *sigh* I think I may wait...
