    Too cold for babies?

    My doe had her litter in -47 windchill. Under the carport. Covered with a sleeping bag or a tarp. Your doe should be fine with the wind block. You did say she was a good mum. Did the ones on the wire come from her first litter? Did they survive?

    Anybody feeding acorns

    We don't have any acorns around here. You'd think they would eat them.

    Where to start? Breeds

    I know you have space. Of those choices I have NZ and Rex. 1)I like my New Zealand rabbits for the growth rate and size. Not sure that I will stay with the Rex.They have great pelts, but are smaller. People often run 2 breeds. Expands the market/options. 2)I do like pedigrees - the knowledge...

    Show me your hutches!

    I know that Bobby has a tarp that comes over the front when the weather gets really cold...as does Teal Stone. Bobby is located in Michigan on the West side. On the Bay side and in the UP I felt like the cold winds came up from the bay a lot more. I live in Montana. So my first approach was to...

    Thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing your litters. 😃 Oreo (broken black)had a good litter. 2 broken,2 frosties, 2 smoke pearls and 2 rew. The 2 blacks are fosters from Chocolate Truffle's litter who had 5 white, 6 blacks and I think a chocolate (I was hoping for blue). Velvet had the 3...

    Fawn? Rex

    I would say Broken Red. Diluted? Or just light? It will be interesting to see what the others say. https://www.minkhollow.ca/rabbits/doku.php?id=rex_standard

    Keeping kits warm. Anyone else have this problem?

    I appreciate your sharing this. I know that the new kits are smaller, but Oreo's been a great mum, very protective. Although, in the wild, her kits would not have survived as she runs straight to her babies to "protect" them. lol I'm happy to hear that a week won't necessarily be an issue.

    Keeping kits warm. Anyone else have this problem?

    My doe Chocolate Truffle had her litter of 12 this morning. I gave her dried nettle. I figured with that many kits it would be helpful. The next youngest litters are 1 week (8 kits)and (9 kits,) 8 days old. Wasn't sure that they weren't too old to slip them into. I think Oreo would accept one...
