Adding on the the underweight/overweight discussion, alforddm mentioned earlier that rabbits can develop internal fat even if they aren't overweight and I recently ran into this. The older buck I had that wouldn't really ever get into producing and preferred to just "cuddle" if the doe was...

Oh my goodness, she's beautiful! Congratulations!! :love:

Awe, what a beautiful kid! So sorry to hear about the other two Rainey. :( Also, crossing my fingers your mother rabbit perks up here and soon!

Hahaha, right?! One day he had sprayed all over his box and I did a double take, "Are you bleeding? Oh, no... just red pee again." So Louie has a sore on his leg I noticed yesterday and it doesn't look any worse today so I'm just keeping an eye on it, but was curious if anyone has any...

Well I can at least answer part of one of your questions, lol. That's not a double chin or anything like that, it's called a dewlap and female rabbits always have that regardless of being overweight or not. My sweet girl Clover, always had an impressive dewlap though she wasn't overweight. She...

Great work! I have no trouble figuring out what the breed is, so that's definitely some talent you've got there!

I had a virgin doe who was about that age when I (finally) bred her. I had tried for MONTHS before that, and she simply didn't want to breed. Never lifted for the buck, etc.. well I finally got her bred a little over two months ago and she died of birthing complications. :cry: She was my...

Here you go! CLICK ME! I'm a link!! I posted all the links about the astrex coat in one place so you can soak up everything I've been able to find online :D So apparently kits go through two molts, once at about a month old (as you can see in Alice's earlier pictures of this thread) and then...

Well no surprise, he nixed it. Excellent suggestion though, now I'm sad we aren't going a rose route, lol. But I suppose there's quite a few "rose" rabbitry names, I know the breeder I'm getting my Rex stock from is Rose River so that may have been a little close for comfort for her, lol. We've...

I'd really be shocked if she didn't take, as she was extremely ready and he definitely had three big falloffs. I know, first time does and all but I've had nothing but success with the whole meat mutt venture. It's those pure-breds that give me trouble :x I can't wait to release the logo and...

Dusty Rose Rabbitry, man I really do like that one! What a great suggestion! It certainly does have that feel to it. My husband seems to be pretty adamant about leaning away from the "flowery" names but this is really nice... I'm totally going to shoot it by him. (Spoiler alert, he didn't like...

Jeri news! Jeri has been renamed to Poker Alice (Alice for short, of course) and... I went ahead and bred her a month early. I wanted to breed her at 6 months of age but that wouldn't be until May 20th, (if she felt like it that day) which means kindle date would be June 17th. Currently...

What a great idea Homer! I had no idea they had such a thing as "food grade" paint...

Oh I like this idea! Sort of like a secret almost, the names have a meaning to you and your family but for outsiders it's just another name. Crossing my fingers you'll start producing some more litters soon! I saw it on Netflix and have resisted watching it, I'm such a Picard fan I never...

That's really cute! I like it! I should draw something like this up for my rabbitry once it gets going... great idea! :D

Blue and purple!? That's crazy! Yeah, D'artagnan often has orange pee, I only notice because he likes to spray it all over the exercise yard fence when he's out... Boys. :roll: I think you're right. Though he doesn't need to practice, he's a natural! To be honest I had a dream I went to check...

I prepped the kit's outdoor cage yesterday by laying down some screen material so their tiny little feetsies wouldn't fall through the 1"x1/2" floor and today I popped them out there for some exercise! I'm going to keep them inside in the carrier during the night (bring them in for dinner) and...

I'd suggest simply going to Home Depot or Lowes and wandering around with about 30-45 minutes of spare time to chew on ideas. Go down every isle with your idea in mind and pick up things that might work. Especially the plumbing / shower area. I don't use anything like that on my cages, but...

Wow! What a great job on that dress Alforddm! She looks amazing and it fits so well!

Wow! Really?! I would have expected the smaller breeds to sell better like Sarnia mentioned. The way I thought about it is if I wanted an animal the size of a (small) dog as a pet... I'd get a dog. So for me a rabbit as a pet is more an in-between from a guinea pig to a cat, lol. Those are some...
