Given that she and the buck are both successful breeders and that she has made a nest I would say she is, or at least was pregnant. I would Inspect her for a stuck kit, and giver her another 5 days to see if she is just having an off delivery (I always wait 5 days after day 32 to be sure, this...

Visual Update. I do not have the data sheet yet to give exact measurements, but here is a visual update of how things are going. The experiment group is on the right and the control is on the left.

She did not take, sadly. Given how the breeding wen’t I wasn’t very hopeful anyway. However, there doesn’t seem to have been any STD problems so I think we are in the clear there. I I will be breeding again ether tomorrow or on Halloween. This time I will be breeding UFTC7 to Keith. They are...

I am taking a botany class this quarter and one of our main assignments is to do an experiment on basil plants and document the affects it has on their growth. There was a list of experiments that we could choose from(CO2 injections, petting the plants, playing music, adding moss, etc.) or if we...

I just asked the judges at our state fair show and they said it would count as a fault if it was not pre-approved (sometimes coop numbers are put in the rabbits ears at state, hence why I was asking) and that was the answer they gave me. OP said a “sharpie marke” in the wrong ear. That is not...

It would be considered a fault. A distraction from the over all appearance of the rabbit that will subtract points, but does not result in a disqualification. (Or would be treated the same as pee stains or long toe nails) Rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball should get it out, might need to scrub a...

From my understanding the closer related the more pronounced the traits, good or bad. So, if you have two unrelated rabbits lacking in fur density, their off spring could also have the same or worse fur density, or depending on their lineage no problems at all. However, If you take full...

We have not been able to breed our rabbits sense about November of last year due to what seemed to be an STD problem that then turned into so much more, its been very hectic. However, it seems everyone has had a clear bill of health for about a month or so now so we are finally breeding again...

Yes, the doors should be open to everyone, and all judging is the same. Paying for parking depends on the venue, sometimes you don't even have to do that.

Here is someone who has experienced both hay and no hay diets explaining their experience To add to this my experience is similar. I have had rabbits for a little over 15 years and have never fed hay in their every day diet (I’ll feed hay as a treat avenging once every 3-5 months, mostly huts...

I am not super well versed in natural preventatives, as we have never really had to deal with mite/fleas in the past. However, in the last three years mites have been going crazy across my entire state thanks to record heat. You can use revolution for dogs, in the USA it is only prescription...

I always free feed pellets (with 18% protein) to rabbits under 5 months, pregnant does, and does with litters. A lot of people do say to feed alfalfa to rabbits under 6 months for the extra calcium. I personally have never done this and they seem to grow just fine on the unlimited pellets.

I'm bored again and have nothing better to do, so I'm "opening this back up." Feel free to ask any questions and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge. See first post in the thread for more info on me/my knowledge base.

This is our current setup, we originally started with just the white hutch which used to be three holes, our original three rabbits didn't work out, we took a few years to really start up our rabbitry at which point we had acquired the four holes and a lot more supplies. We have now been...

The sporadic running behavior is known as “zoomies” and is a happy sprint, along with a movement called a “binky” this behavior takes place when they are at their happiest. There really isn’t a way to stop this unless you purposefully make them depressed, but that’s obviously not very ethical...

I have been tattooing for about 6 years, I haven't tried many different types of pens, maybe only 3-5, just whatever my friends had brought to shows. But out of the one I have tried I like the original one I started with best, it may just be because that’s what I got used to first, or maybe it...

As someone who had rex for about 8 years, I can confirm all of this is true. They also have AMAZING temperaments for both the buck AND does (something I've found is usually a one or the other sort of thing, usually supper sweet bucks and terrible does, or vice versa, but never really both). They...

Sounds like it could be infected, though it may just be irritated. The swelling/hardness could take a while to go down. I would put some tea tree oil on it for an antiseptic and just check on it daily. Make sure his cage is clean, if he's on bedding ether remove it or change it daily.

All of mine get names. We usually pick a "theme", like a movie, band, book, TV series, etc. and pick names from that. We have done 1-D, Voltron, State ferries, the Beatles, and many MANY more. Some will get odd ball names off of their personalities, (like Tom, my showmanship/first pet rabbit...

I never though of this. If I were to do this I would use wood pellets instead of shavings, their absorption and and stink control is amazing. I have one rabbit who uses a litter box, I only have to use about a pint and change it every 3-5 days. 3 days is ideal, but I can leave it till 5 days and...
