Mine hasn't pulled any fur but she did put them all together in cozy little nest and they appear well fed. There was blood under the cage, I thought she had eaten another one but they're all there so I guess she just passed a little blood cleaning out her uterus. Kits are energetic, seem...

Mine like comfrey and bark from fruit tree pruning, fresh pulled grass. They rejected several kinds of fruit, won't eat carrots. I understand too much comfrey is toxic, but you can't trust everything you read on the internet!

For now the good news is the kits are toasty warm. Mom seems interested in nest box. Seems like a little optimism is in order.

I guess this a good thread. My tan doe who I swore had only just bred yesterday had 10 kits today. 8 were cold but living. I put a kindling box in with pine shavings and Timothy hay. My husky is blowing her coat so she donated the fur...momma didn't pull so much as 1 hair of her own. Now...

You asked if I'd pay for a bigger dog for you, I mentioned Great Pyrenees. My own dogs go through at least 50 lbs of kibble/week plus lots of treats. My point was that simply buying an animal is never anywhere near the real cost of ownership

I live in Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, would like to find breedable American Chinchillas, 1 buck 2 does. They'd probably have to be shipped. The only VA breeders I know of are 5 hours away near coast, too far for me to drive. Thanks for any help.

Well, not all suggestions have purely upside. If you were thinking about something the size of a Pyrenees purchase is a small fraction of ownership costs. Sorry

I tried growing sprouts. Neither my geese nor my rabbits will touch them. Baby chicks seem to like them.

That's a matter of taste and whatever Playlist they use. You'd probably love some music that makes my skin crawl, and vice versa. Perhaps a study to determine Bunny preferences.. Maybe a little pan flute...

Or get a bigger dog?

Chaos is my dog's name :)

I know some dog breeders that use AI because ***** refuses their male. I just never thought of that happening with rabbits. Wonder if she knows something about him that I don't????

I've only got 1 buck and I don't know how adult rabbits act. Time of day I can try, and swapping cages is doable, think I'll put them in tractor together and see what happens. She always has Timothy hay. Who would've thunk so much could be so weird?

I've only seen the milky urine once. She gets pellets and Timothy hay, won't eat horse cubes alfalfa. They get comfrey occasionally, lately got a lot of fruit tree prunings. Anyway, thank you very much

My black doe is same age and she had a litter, but she may be purebred instead of Silver Fox x New Zealand. I guess it may still be too early.

All of the above behaviors. She appears clean pink and moist, not dark

The rule book says buck must hump and fall off 3 times. He never has done that but one doe got premiers anyway!

My buck is pedigreed. My does may be New Zealand, SF, or cross of those. I think tan doe is a cross, black doe is probably pure bred but no pedigree. Vet said she's 8 lbs at 7 months old. I'm having trouble getting tan doe to breed

My tan doe refuses to breed. Do I slip her a roofie or something?

I have slaughtered my own poultry, beef, hogs. Nothing keeps well "on the hoof." If you don't slaughter it young it probably won't be worth eating...tough, poor flavor.
