I don't know if vlops colors will be taken after the English lop side or the mini rex side. There is no red and no lynx in elops. As an English lop breeder I would call them either fawn or cream, depending on eye color as they mature, because it does sometimes change.

I prefer cardinals over neons too, but they have been amazingly hard to find. The big box pet stores have just about run all of the single owner pet shops out of business, and they carry what they carry, no special orders. Myself, I just can't get into a fast moving, aggressive, always under...

From breeding to birth normally takes 31 days. Can be 28. Can be 35. When you have had the buck separated from the does for 35 days, you can assume they are not pregnant. Separating your adults tho will probably require that you now keep them separate permanently. I highly doubt you will be able...

I will definitely be attending, and showing. It will be my first convention. Just from what a couple of you have said, let me make sure you aren't frustrated. This is a coop show only. You cannot bring a carrier in, nor any rabbits just for sale. If the rabbit is in the building, it must be...

There was a time, once, when we had a 40g octopus tank with its 10g crawdad food supply in one corner of the living room, a 60g cube reef tank in another corner, a 75g saltwater along one wall, and a couple of freshwater tanks in the bedroom. Funny, how, once you begin moving a little slower...

I agree with Cspr - black otter. He may look chocolate, but that is black either sun burnt or getting ready to molt. Don't change the pedigree. I also agree with blue Charlie on the mostly white rabbit. The one drinking next to it is broken black. The bottom may be sable, it may be seal, but I...

Since I got back into rabbits, the saltwater enthusiasm failed. It was just too much work and too time consuming - nevermind the fact that every time I had to put my hands into it, my fingers swelled until they almost split and bled. And...it was taking way too much of my bunny money to keep it...

OK, so it's not new. Its the same 75 gallon bowfront I've had for a long time, several years even. Some of you may remember my "mystery" illness from awhile back. Well, it finally destroyed the tank. I settled on some sort of weird fungus. Still have no idea where it came from, or why it...

I believe the reviews say it all..... It doesn't appear it will hold up to a single small rabbit indoors. I seriously doubt it would be worth your time for a litter of babies outdoors.

Since you now have connections to the breeder, you should try to get her pedigree, especially if you think you may show her, or begin producing show quality thriantas. Since she was free, even if you have to pay 20 or 30 bucks for a pedigree, you would still be ahead.

When we first started rabbits, it was a hobby for my husband and me - April & Kevin Foster - hence AKF Rabbitry. Since we got out for a decade, and I went back into it on my own, AKF was still available thru ARBA, so I decided to go back with it. All of my bunnies are tattooed AKF and whatever...

Two years in a row, I have placed rabbits on order two months ahead of the national convention, paid to have them shipped to national convention, drove to convention and paid for a motel one year, and paid to have them shipped to me the next year, to a place where I still had to drive about 5...

Anyone going? It's a triple show - Fri & Sat. I'm considering going for the double show on Sat.

I think it will really depend on what size breed and how many babies. You will never want to leave babies in a damp or dirty nestbox. When I had Netherland Dwarfs and they only had a couple babies at a time, I almost never replaced the nestbox material before they were weaned, however, with the...

Ummm - Daisy??? You don't normally hear Daisy and testicles in the same sentence. I just found it funny. Hope Daisy gets to feeling all better soon. I think they look awful, but I've never had a rabbit neutered either.

Normal. Mama is telling him in no uncertain terms that he is NOT ready to go gallivanting the big, wide world yet, and to get back where he belongs. In a hole in the ground, that would be easy to do for a 16 day old bunneh. Jumping up into a nestbox, not quite so easy. I would put something in...

Since you have a plan for her for at least 1 litter, I would stick to those plans and not send her back to her breeder immediately. Everybody stays happy, and you have more time to think things over. To be perfectly honest, I have never felt a 4 year old doe was that big of a producer for...

First off, are you an ARBA member? You must be a paid member in good standing in order to register any rabbit. He also must be at least 6 months old and have attained senior weight. Do you have a standard of perfection, or have you compared him to a standard? There may be things like eye color...

Makes one wonder about all this "global warming" stuff, huh? I can't remember it ever being this cold here.

Maybe in 10 days it'll be a little warmer too! Sheesh. Can't remember such weather. Can't even imagine what it's like way up north where you are. Are the 2 kits broken chocolates too? We used to have Polish, but that was way back when there weren't any brokens. Solid chocolate is probably my...
