What about laminating simple paper labels? Maybe hang them of the package like a fancy label on a bag?

Nightpredators are active untill 1-1.5 hours after sunrise and the daypredators wake up hungry from first light (that is well before actual sunrise farther north like up here) and vice versa at sunset. So program that door well, it needs to open late enough in the morning and they need to be...

Here if they survive untill 3 weeks with eyes open and able to get back into the nestingbox for warmth they all lived untill i put them into the pot. Lost one litter due to no nest made, 2 kits due to nest to small and 1 kit from going adventuring at about a week old and not finding the nestbox...

according too the breed registry here (NL) the ideals are : standard rex 3 - 4.5 kg mini rex (kleinrex) 1.7 - 2.75 kg dwarf rex 1 - 1.6 kg 1kg = 2.2 lbs

Here rex are in 3 sizes : dwarf, mini and standard. Mini is not a dwarf variety.

I learned you feed the worms from above, just like grazing animals would and the trees do by feeding themselves from their own fallen leaves. Double digging just like plowing destroys all kinds of symbioses in the soil that create the network that supports all living things in it. This method...

Mostly i take the boys away at 8-10 weeks (and max before 12 due to developing into fertile bucks, often straight into freezercamp), girls can be much later (have some 5+ months still with mom at the moment). I took one doe away from her litter at just shy of 8 weeks because sometime after that...

Be predictable and teach them sitting still is how you get rid of people. Pretty much all of my rabbits are fine being petted, but being picked up depends more on the individual. Knowing how and being certain about picking them up helps. Flipping them over so they are on their back and bum is...

Usually they'll give birth within 24 hours. And often if you think they pulled lots of fur now you'll wonder how she can have any left after the kits are born. Heat wise : lots of cool water for mom and shade for the cage

I have them in a barn/shed and the day/night rythm is from a led daylight lamp on a timer 12h on 12h off.

No fan of line/inbreeding, but if you have the space and need an excuse to keep her. She is cute, but that is fairly standard for bunnies. Just think on what you are looking for in her or what you want to know about the dad. Other than that, is she build correctly and healthy?

Only a dutch children's song (although direct translation funtion on yt is horrible) Sweet little bunny had a fly on it's nose and it buzzed back and forth

Fat is considered a keep warm feed, not what you want in summer. On the other hand some endurance horses are fed a fair bit of fat for long distance energy, however both indicate a need for calories for work either keeping warm or travelling many hours. Both do not apply to a rabbit in summer...

I give a pinch of the striped sunflower seeds to nursing does in winter, they love them. Oats barely, my rabbits aren't that big and small amounts of feed becomes fiddly + wastage from spoiling. However i keep mine in a stone shed, on solid flooring and in a not crazy hot or cold climate. Mostly...

Base of a rabbit diet, just like any herbivore is roughage like hay, gras or even straw. I don't know what the advice is from the bag of pellets in the US, but here (NL) concentrates like pellets are a supplemental feed, not the mainstay of the diet. My standard feed ration is 10grams/1 kilo of...

Yes, when you breed animals naming them makes it way easier to keep up with who is who and how they are related. Although the litters i know are for the freezer get the same name ("flappie") popular bunny name, but also a christmas song about the son's pet bunny ending up as christmas dinner...

Only in pigs if i recall right. Semen needs to be a little cooler than bodytemperature, so outside (and often without hair so just skin) it is.

Basically if you can only raise rabbit for your food, you need to get them fat. Something usually not done due to health issues for the rabbit, it is not the ususal way and the flavour is supposed to be bad. I just go on the basis that everything is better with (some) butter/ghee.

Look at what is sold locally (craigslist and so on), they should be okay in the climate they are born in.

Tri color is a broken harlequin, so not with this doe.
