Some of you may remember how she jumped out of her cage, received a bloody nose and an abscess on her nose. Well I was asking my vet some questions about it and he said to stop by with her and he would look at it. He did confirm that is what it was and offered to lance it. Since he wanted to...

As some of you may remember when I got my most recent three NZW does the one went crazy when I opened the door, jumped out and received a bloody nose. Now about two weeks later she has developed a large bump on her nose. Any ideas if this is related to the "jump to freedom" or is it possibly...

:?: Just finished cleaning the trays under my does and in the one I found a clear gel discharge in the poop area. There was two different areas of this. The doe is due to kindle by the 3rd. Since I am new to this I have no idea what this is, any ideas.

Well my three new NZW does arrived last night, they are just 9 weeks old so breeding them will be way off in the summer but still I am excited to be increasing my "herd". Although my husband probably thinks otherwise. :lol: The only problem is they seem so wild. I received them from a very...

I have been raising meat rabbits for about 8 months now (true greenhorn) and the one thing that I find frustrating is trying to tell whether or not a doe is expecting. I have tried and tried to feel if a doe has "little" marbles after about 10 days-still have never felt anything in a doe. I...

I understand that it is safe for rabbits but one of the links that someone attached on another post indicated that it was given as an herbal supplement to both bucks and does to increase both sperm and egg production in rabbits. Anyone have any experience with this? Since I am relatively new...

I recently bought a NZW buck and he has yellow/rust stains on his hips. I would assume that at one point he stayed in a cage that had a rusty cage floor. I did try to kinda wash these areas with a whitening shampoo but it did not work. Any suggestions? :bunnyhop:
