This is Nutmeg, a purebred NZ red doe. Her dad was a broken red and mom was solid red. I got her because the breeder couldn't show her with her little white spot. Do you think she has the chance to pass on an En to her kits? I'm not breeding for show so it's just for my own curiosity about how...

Well turns out it was a wasp bite on her nose. They got in to the room somehow, made a nest right above her cage, and then must have realized they couldn't get back outside. Very fun to deal with... Can't believe I missed the bump day one but I found it yesterday morning and noticed the wasps. I...

Hey so what does heatstroke or heat sickness look like in rabbits? We got up in the mid 80s yesterday and one of my does has had a goopy left eyes since yesterday evening. Today both eyes seem to be having discharge and she seems to be twitching every so often and tilts her head when I pet her...

Oh, that's a good idea! Thank you for the links!

Thank you both! Those pictures are lovely, That silver top layer is what drew me to both breeds in the first place. I've had all sorts of animals over the years, everything from cats to chickens to various reptiles so of course I understand that every individual will be a little different but...

Hi! So at the moment I'm just starting out with New Zealands but in my research I've come across these two heritage breeds that really interest me fur wise. I understand they've got some differences in coat texture (the Silver Fox has that stand up coat) but I'm really curious to know how the...

Thank you all for the info. Seems like Nutmeg only wanted to mess with the hay for a couple of hours that first day and then went back to normal. Cinnamon on the other hand has been doing a little bit each day. I tried the scratching trick and got nothing from either of them, aside from Cinnamon...

Hm, interesting. I have tried palpating one of them with no clear results and the other will absolutely not let me. I don't have any real experience palpating so not finding anything isn't completely reliable. Seems like neither of them have really made actual nests from the look of things and...

Both of my does started running around with mouthfuls of hay yesterday morning, collecting it and trying to "dig" in the corners of their cages. It all looks like fairly normal nesting behavior from what I've read and they should be pregnant but Nutmeg still has a good 10 days until her due date...

My name is Leo and I'm 27. I live on a small farm in California with my family and have had a passion for animals since I was a little boy. I used to catch lizards in the yard and now I have a pretty extensive menagerie of pets, including snakes, lizards, frogs, several different types of...
