YES! She's made a really nice nest and is much calmer now that she has that ready. Good girl!

Welcome! This is an awesome resource and you will learn tons! 😀

Welcome! You found a great resource for rabbits here!

Me as well, fingers crossed! She's been very busy messing with her hay so I think she's looking for a nest box! I'll give her one in another week.

Welcome! 😁

Just to know that people have had trouble with One Drive arbitrarily deleting important documents, so I would also back up to a USB thumb drive or the like.

I'm new but determined to learn everything! I'm the third owner of my New Zealand red trio. Young lady I got them from (who bought them from a rabbitry) said she'd never been able to successfully breed this doe, that she even did the rubber band trick and everything else she could think of. The...

This is such an awesome forum and so much great advice here for you! I am also new and learned a lot reading all the replies. 😁 I have colony bred American Blues from a local breeder who bought from a rabbitry that was selling out their rabbits. I have learned so much that I can already tell...

That's what I did, is tip the box on the ones that were getting out. I cleaned it up, saved the clean hair, put clean timothy hay in and made it nice and cozy. Then I put hay all around the box for them to snuggle in and nibble. I check and replace it if it gets dirty. Now all the little...

Thank you! I have standard wooden nest boxes that we put a baby scraper panel on the front.

Perfect! Thank you! I will do this like all have suggested. At a little over 3 weeks both litters have been popping back in whenever they want. We'll make sets for each nest box. 😁

My best cheap cage is a Midwest Wabbitat, 37"x24"x19". They ran me $40 to $50 each and work well for one adult rabbit. I have room for a large attached water bowl, a feed bowl, crate mats, and we give them a pine hide. They can hop up on it or go under it. A mat fits perfectly in there. I first...

And as a side note, yesterday when I had one out and was holding it I counted six in the cage. Not five, SIX. Which means I have seven and didn't count them correctly for 3 weeks. I know I counted six like a hundred times! 😂 The same thing happened with my blue litter but I caught it the first...

Thanks! They are all fine now because they just hop in and out, plus they are 3 weeks old today so look like miniature adult buns fur-wise, note photo. Having a nest box on its side with hay in it gives them a place to hide, and it's a bigger area for mom to hop up on to get away from them. I...

Thanks! I got over it in a couple of days, lol. It was because it was just one at first, then two, I didn't know how they were going to keep each other warm or get back in. Once I saw one hop back in I was okay with it. I was afraid they wouldn't have anybody to cuddle with and that mom would...

Same stinkers a week older. I adore them! Very curious and sweet!

I am pretty darn new but I would wait, feed them well, reassess. And of course do a good quarantine.

Smokey Joe is beautiful! I would love to see some of the other colors! I am not going to be showing these rabbits, though I might get show quality a year or two down the line. I am on a Palomino waiting list, and hope to get on a list for American Blue kits. But I wouldn't mind having other...

My New Zealand red trio has one pedigreed doe, the other doe and the buck are not, but they are from the same rabbitry and are all unrelated. I got them from the second party owner. They all look pretty nice. The does are the darker red and the buck has the lighter belly. At some point I might...

Yes keep them well away from yours! Maybe others can weigh in on any prophylactics they should have. I see some promise! Feed them up and see what happens. 🤞
