    Stumped on this Mini Lop's color!

    I will certainly be keeping tabs with him over time. He's a hoot. His brother was a BKN Black, but he escaped the nesting box too many times and lost on the battle for milk with his brother. He binkies around constantly (bumping into his mothers butt and tumbling over lol) , learned from his...

    Can't get a litter

    Welcome to RT! LOL and it's true... they don't exactly breed like rabbits! (at least when you are wanting to anyway) In the wild, rabbits don't breed in the winter, so it could be environmental factor that's working against you right now. I'd do what others have recommended :)

    Stumped on this Mini Lop's color!

    Here are some extra photos of his eye and blowing into his coat. It's a tricky one!

    Stumped on this Mini Lop's color!

    So this is the only baby that has had me stumped in a while! He's in the house tonight with the other babies cause the temperature is dropping so much, but he's a oober sweet singleton with a bonus of super promising already as a baby :) I thought he was a Blue Steel at first, but nope...

    my herd report:

    It's funny how a small handful grow into more :) My BF of 3 years got me my first rabbit my senior year of highschool, and now I'm hooked! 1 turned into 28 holes LOL With babies, I can bump my number up quite a bit, but I probably won't expand again until after college out in a more rural area...

    My bathroom smells like a barn!

    Lol I'm sure I wore that similar cologne many times when coming home from riding :-) Gorgeous pups! They also look extremely intelligent!

    It's a huge decision but I think you might just be the man for the job :-)

    Perfect timing

    Lol my does have been doing those kinds of thing all winter! They pick the coldest nights (although we aren't as cold as you and no snow) , but they pick coldest nights. For the first few days I just bring the nesting box in and only take it out when I'm out feeding in the morning and once...

    How do YOU handle deposits and sales?

    I require 50% non-refundable deposit to hold a rabbit. If it sells without a deposit, it's not my problem and I make them aware of it prior to making an appointment. I do cull pet quality does because people just kept asking me all the time for a pet quality doe to breed.. I love my breed...

    Common Feed?

    Pen Pals 15%. LOVE IT! Might try a higher protein % but I haven't had any issues after a year of using this feed. Manna pro in our area too inconstant in quality,and cost a few breeders rabbits after a especially bad batches, mines wouldn't touch it. I only give multigrain Cheerios and oats as...

    I am obviously overfeeding my rabbits

    I do measure...depending in the rabbit they get no less than 3/4 cup but no more than 1cup + about a tablespoon of multigrain Cheerios :-) I will only free feed the does with litters, but even the juniors are not free fed. I noticed when I butchered free fed juniors, they had more fat,rather...

    Rabbitry plans for 2014

    I don't plan on expanding my Rabbitry, but I have opened up some holes for keepers and my small Brit program. I hope to dabble on them more this upcoming year :-) I need to finish up closing in a Rabbitry on the top. Adding some vents/fans and then it will be set! We might also finally be...

    How Many Cages Do I Need?

    Depending on the weight of your breeders, you will need to check ARBA standard for size :-) I so recommend breeding 2 does at the same time because usually the other one comes in handy if they miss or you need to foster ( like someone mentioned above) I'd try to have 8-10 cages...but just...

    How Far Would You Go?

I've picked them up from shows,transport,Convention,...etc. You are not alone LOL One time made a trip to the Carolinas for trio andddddd one threw me weird defects (cull) , the buck never grew...

    Feeding Bread

    I ride at a barn and she likes to have "barn rabbits" running around and she just puts some horse feed,bread,and water out and they do just fine. They obviously forage on other things, but they are happy rabbits and live a good life out on the farm with the free range chickens. They usually...

    Hair Loss Question

    Oops! Looks like her sister is probably showing dominance over her. Usually when rabbits breed/hormonal/dominance they yank out hair from the neck/back/sides area. Be careful, because your doe could get really tired of being mounted and decide to do some serous damage to the other. Usually I...
