I think I want to start a new project....a rex coated dutch. What do you all think? Am I crazy? A mini rex with the dutch pattern? Be a nice winter project I think...and spring project, and fall project...and repeat lol.

Yesterday my Flemish doe had 8 babies.... After being bred to my more then likely heat sterile Rex buck.... And only having one fall off..... Never say never kids! Hehehe.

And it actually kinda worked out.....sorta. I couldn't figure out why my replacement doe for a doe I culled this spring wouldn't lift and wouldn't lift and wouldn't lift....was driving me nuts...I stick my hand under her to lift her butt up to give my buck a hand....and felt...

Here's my conundrum. I have a taken all my rabbits out of the colony and put them in homemade hutches. My rex doe (Grumpy) had a litter in the colony just before I moved her....while still in the colony the nest "exploded" and all kits died. We had growouts in the colony at the time too (we...

The sooner I know the better....sigh....kids...

I've very very tempted to try it....don't think hubby would go for it though, and my pooch would be REALLY disappointed that I ate his heads.... http://fxcuisine.com/Default.asp?langua ... ution=high

So it was finally nice enough out today to let the kids outside to play. My kid is playing with the neighbor girls and their mom comes over to talk. Did I mention that I live in a REALLY nice subdivision....like...one filled with laywers and bankers and such. City folk....like city city folk...

UPDATE: Well...I couldn't have been more wrong lol. Ended up with 2 black kits (like I thought), 5 REW kits (ummmmm...purebred flemish? I think not!) and 2 grey kits like momma, one light, one dark. Soooo....how do grey kits come about when dad only carries black and black otter? Like I said...

Ok, so in playing with meat mutts I crossed a REW std rex with a Steal Grey flemish giant. I know the REW carries Black and Black Otter....and that's it as far back as the ped goes. The flemish I have no idea what it carries, it's parents were bred for a pet litter and I know there was some...

So I have an indoor (heated basement) colony right now. It's time to move them OUT. I have a cage of growouts down there that are about 6-7 weeks, a nest full (x2) of 2-3 week olds and 4 adults. I want to get the hutches built this weekend and move everyone OUT. But...I worry about the...

Ok, so this spring I'm moving the rabbits outside. Love having the colony, love the weather free worries and year round breeding, but I'm producing much too much bedding waste for my comfort. I know what size the rex need and what floors will work for them. No worries there. My issue is...

Sorry....couldn't help myself! :lol:

Alright, so I went down today to take care of the rabbits, and noticed on one of the almost 4 week old kits a LARGE ball of fecal material stuck between it's back legs. We're talking golf ball sized. It was running around and eating/drinking fine. No idea how long it's been there, I'm...

Seriously considering moving the colony out of the basement this year. It's working...but...it's a pain in the tush to clean. Keeping the bedding deep enough to keep smell issues away, makes too much waste for our garbage pickup every week. 4 adults and 20+ kits currently has me scooping it 2x...

Not in as, it died, or anything. I actually physically lost it. As in one day there, the next day POOF. Normally when they hit the two week mark their numbers are pretty set it seems. I had one drowned in the water dish out of Turkey's litter this time round, (freak accident thing) and so...

I picked up a bag of pellets today and the price had jumped from $15 to $20, the feed guy said to expect it to jump again. He carries Oats at $10 for 50lbs, but no wheat or barley. I'm having trouble sourcing those. Would JUST oats be ok (and BOSS) or do I really need a mix?

One of the kits from the first Turkey/Grumpy x Boyo litter makes me giggle...a lot. Every time I go in there and do something even remotely startling I get a scream out of it. They are only about 6 weeks old, so the screams are tiny and cute. Today I flipped their metal food bowl back over to...

Just thought I would share, 8 days old. Too cute for words. All 7 of them look just like this (I had a group shot, phone ate it.) and I'll try to get more pictures soon.

Alright, so I have a colony in my basement. They are in a 8X20 area, and the floor WAS a tarp with bedding on top.....they managed to bite/dig under one corner of the tarp, and have pushed all the bedding off that area and have a great time running around under it now. I had to cut the tarp...

I'm going to try to hand raise Idjet's kits. If this were any other bunny I would TRY to flip her...but Idjet is well....not very easy to handle. I would put them in with Turkey's kits, but at this point Turkey's are 10 times bigger then Idjet's. I'm not very hopeful for one of them...it...
