I'd say 95% success rate for me with first timers. I had more problems with Holland Lops and Lionheads than I did with New Zealand, Rex, other larger breeds. The most common issue they had was not pulling fur and just having them on the wire. I never had a doe eat her babies or not feed them...

You can try giving her water in a bowl. I have some who drink more that way. And I have some who automatically dump the bowl. Little jerks. Lol. As long as she is pooping and eating normally I wouldn't worry. Once she has her kits she will probably start drinking a ton more.

I'm not sure low milk production is something that gets better with experience. I would think it would just be dependent on the particular doe. There are things you can add to the doe's diet to help. Oats are very good for milk production. I have only had a handful of does who have kits with...

Is there heat on the affected side? She could have been stung. I would just watch her but the fact that she hasn't changed eating habits is good. Whatever it is may likely resolve itself.

It's been 97 with heat index up to 117 here in northeast Arkansas. I have been doing frozen bottles and misting ears. Can't afford fans. Next week it's supposed to get 102 and our heat index then will most likely be 120.

Yep, I'd say you're right. I did a quick google search lol

Could you get another couple pictures? Looks to be too red to be castor.

Maybe chinchilla? Does he have rings in his coat?

That's a nice set-up! Looks very spacious and shady. I love the hay rack. It's always neat to see how other's keep their rabbits.

I raise Rex and they do grow a little slower than say, New Zealands, but I love their calm dispositions. Mine have always handled the heat as well as the next rabbit and for the most part I have only seen sore hocks in a few rabbits.

If I had seen this before I would have posted but yes, chamomile tea bag on the eye will cure this in no time. I had a litter of lionheads that had nestbox eye and two treatments had them cleared up. Chamomile is good for many things.

For the ones not pooping: take away pellets and give hay only. Get infant gas drops and do a couple drops a few times a day and Magnesium Citrate for a laxative. Are they still eating?

My understanding is that you can feed alfalfa hay to babies, but not adults. I use a marker called Inkzall, made by Milwaukee, that works really good. Much better than Sharpie. I handle the moms again as early as I need to. I do weekly weight checks on babies starting about week 3. I tattoo...

New babies are always exciting, no matter how many litters I have lol. I love every part of raising rabbits and that makes it all worth it. I could spend hours down at the barn, just watching them.

I think he's doing it on purpose. Democrats want people to switch to electric vehicles so what better way than to make it harder to afford gas?

I'm in northeast Arkansas and I feed Big V feed, out of Ada OK I believe. It's a 50lb bag and I pay $21. Just 2 months ago it was $18. I pay $22 for a 50 lb compressed bale of timothy hay. I could get similar feed for $13 but would have to drive a little ways so with the cost of gas, I'll just...

I have 5 white does born 4-5-22 so they are 8 weeks old. Good bloodlines, have a couple really nice ones that I think would do well at shows. Full pedigrees. They are tattooed already. They are $40 each. (Number 4's picture is from 6 weeks of age, I couldn't get a posed picture of her last week)...

Please don't guesstimate weights and put them on a pedigree. Only put what you know to be factual. Weight is important. When I'm looking at a rabbit I'm interested in buying, say a Rex, and I see lots of rabbits on its pedigree that are barely meeting the minimum weight I'm probably going to...

1. It could be a false pregnancy, or she could just be preparing early. I have had a couple does build a nest very early and then be pregnant and have babies at the right time and I have had a couple who did that and it turned out they weren't pregnant, so just let her do what she's doing and be...
