Thank you for your insight. I came across my tort when a lady was getting out of rabbits and we were there to look at her adults. We took 2 of the adults, and my daughter fell in love with one of the grow outs. So we bought her. She has changed just as much as our little siamese sable. He was an...

Thank you for this! I came across that same recipe and others. Now I have ideas for my own mix. I was thinking about making a calming treat for my bucks, non-lactating does and drying up a doe's milk after weaning. I though about using the various mints and herbs from my garden mixed with oat...

There is an app in the google play store that allows you to browse a database of pictures. You choose the ones that look like your rabbits, and cross them in the app. It will gove you all the genotype possibilites between the cross. I forget the name of the app, and stopped using it because I...

Welcome! From Southern Colorado here. You have joined the best rabbit community available. Everyone is helpful, kind, understanding, and insightful. You will get answers from people who have experience. Good Luck with the Tamuks. I wanted to do the same. So I went looking for them. No one in...

Holding your doe down could cause her anxiety and create a dislike to being touched by you. I would remove the largest 7 or 8 kits for one feeding a day, then put them back after the smaller ones are all fat. Let the bigger ones have the left overs. This is less stress on everyone, and all...

Welcome! It is a great community with awesome information. Greetings from Southern Colorado, USA. We raise American Chinchillas and NZs. They are the two most docile breeds I have encountered. My Chins are a bit more chilled than the NZs. I love the pelts I get from the Chinchillas as well. So...

Thanks for the updates. Pic of my Blue selfed chin for tax.

I play a game online that tells me this: 2 copies of the vienna gene will act just like 2 copies of the albino gene. Both will be white, but one will be BEW and the other REW. Since the BEW can only pass on a copy of the vienna gene, every kit will be a carrier of one copy of the vienna gene...

Remember other genes in the c locus can have partial dominance over the himi gene. I have a chinchilla buck who has all the marking of a chinchilla, and a californian. His entire body is chinchilla colored with rings, even his ears, nose, feet and tail are all chin marked but get super dark...

It is resistant to Round Up.

I would be worried the new kits will not get enough milk from mom with kits around that should have been weaned at about 3 weeks and mom removed from them. My doe is absolutely done with her kits by 4 weeks. She actively pushes them away when they try to feed. We have hutches with nursery...

We have also noticed a difference in the meat between ages, handling, activity levels, and dispatching methods. I agree that if they are afraid at the time of dispatch, the meat is gamey, just like a deer that is hit on the highway and lays there alive, hurt, scared, and anxious before death.

I have a small rabbitry, only 16 rabbits. We always get a bit of dust in the bottom of the bag. I hate wasting it. I want to repurpose it. 😃

Thank you very much for this explaination. This is the doe we call Cinnabunny. She is the one I plan to breed to the Siamese Sable buck pictured in my original post. Her fur flies back in to place, like snaps back as if it were never combed the wrong way. His fur is thick, and stands up when...

Tell me . . . Do you make treats for your rabbits out of the dust left over in the bottom of pellet bags? If so, please share your wisdom with us! Picture of my Bucky Boy for tax . . . .

We noticed a difference in the chewyness of kits who were kept in a small grow out cage, vs the ones we let run around in a grow out tractor. The ones who did not spend a lot of time running around were much more tender and easier to butcher. We butcher, rinse, and let them sit in a 5 gallon...
