Here is an excellent vetrinarian article on snuffles along with (warning) gravic photos. The concern amongst rabbit breeders dealing with snuffles is that it can be passed through the breeding process and the kits can also be infected or carriers. In the sense that certain strains can be passed...

Alex Rollins on FB or Lily n' Way Farm & Rabbitry fb or you can text also on Northwest Rabbits on fb. She does an amazing job and is creating logos for many rabbitries. She did ours and we love it if you want to see an example: "Whiskers and Tails Oregon" on fb.

The Doe can also pass the disease to the buck, that is why people are saying test with a buck that is meant for butchering, not with your breeding buck.

I would be very leary personally of breeding a rabbit that has snuffles/ rabbit syphilis as our research says it can be treated and kept undercontrol in the rabbit but the disease is not irradicated just suppressed. The rabbit though showing no symptoms can pass to babies which can show symptom...

the parents look rex, longer guard hairs is pretty common on the baby coat and usually goes away after the baby coat is replaced with the junior coat.

We had a doe that developed sore feet, we used the plastic mats described above and covered the rest of the cage in a layer of hay we cleaned out every day and replaced. It took some time but she healed completely and her hair grew back on her feet. The plastic resting mats with loop holes in...

Absolutely!

Welcome to a fellow Pacific NW rabbit lover! What part of the NW?

They are soooo fun to watch grow! they are little jumping beans right now, eyes opening, wobbling around, lol.

So excited! Bought Joseph, a beautiful tricolor young Rex buck last year and he was just paired with our blue broken who carries tri, we got a rainbow of tri and harliquens! Our first batch of tris and could not be more pleased! Plus. our beautiful castor Rebecca and broken black buck Jackson...

Gorgeous!

I'd watch the first one, the second one I'm confident a doe. There appears to be more separation between genitalia and anus on the first photo. But I agree look like does at this stage..

I am looking for this excellent study that this info came from, I wish I had saved it! I'll try to find it and post a link for you. I think it may have something maybe to do with the REW NZ having the gene and being used so much both here and Europe as test animals. But will see if I can find...

Laying down with feet stretched out is a favorite rabbit position when they are content and feel safe and secure. Your rabbit has lots of intelligence and is working hard to communicate with you and yes, you and their surroundings belong to them. The rabbit lets you pet and love on him and...

Wonderful explanation, and so important in providing that rabbit "language", thank you! The more you know their language and how to respond, in my opinion, really enriches your relationship with your rabbit(s).

Because of the blind (glaucoma) gene that started in NZ in Europe/England then brought over with NZ to the US, we are getting leary of even mother/son or father/daughter matings. I'm not saying not to do it, we still do on a limited basis, but am trying to put more generation(s) in between the...

We now always check the doe"s privates prior to trying with the buck. If the doe's private parts are deep pink or maroon red, she is in estris/ receptive. If pale pink or slightly pink, she will not lift and does not appreciate the buck at all! We had a doe we could not get pregnant until we...

Yea! praying he makes it!
