I didn't plan to cross breed for the ratio, it was the available rabbits. I was just citing a sample ag school study. My main point was that, most things being equal over this year, this litter is at the 8 week weight for their 14 week age. I was just curious as to whether or not anyone had...

The price was right even if you get one litter each. If they weren't litter mates, you should save a buck from one and a doe from the other as back ups. The cage doesn't sound bad either even after you replace the floor.That's close to what I paid for my doe for the same reason. I love my NZW...

I read a university study that stated a mix of Californian and New Zealand rabbit produced a quicker weight reaching rabbit. The study used a NZW buck and a Cal. doe (opposite from my set up). My first attempt was no different than a straight Cal. breeding. This last effort has produced bunnies...

I tried the warm up trick prior to posting and none responded. I have had to "warm water" kits from a different doe after the first cold snap. It worked well in the past, but these were gone before I got to them. Two days ago I was running a chain saw near the hutch. Is it possible that she was...

My Cal doe was due yesterday and showed no interest in the nest box. She has always been a late kindler by at least 2 days and sometimes 3 days, so I didn't think much of it. I went out to the hutch this morning to find a nest box with 8 cold kits and one clump of mother's fur. The kits were all...

One acre.....How's the new litter doing? Have you been taking the nest box inside? It has been hot here in Indiana (over 100) near my cages. I can't imagine what Texas is like. I lost 3 of 9 bunnies to the heat early last week while I was camping. The care giver only looked at, never handled...
