Well my brother just got finished culling the baby mini lops that had pasturella and I had him cull another mixed breed that started to get a snotty nose. It was really hard to see them go. :cry: Do you think it would be safe to bring in new rabbits if they were in the front of the barn and the...

Thank you. What should I check for on the lungs and organs? Like will there be spots? And I will have my brother cull the runt first since it isnt worth much. This may put my breeding back some but I want the healthiest ones I can.

I think I will just have my brother cull them for me tomorrow. It will give me some practice towards butchering and I dont have the money to invest in treating them if they will carry it later in life. What should i do to the cage they are in? It is the bottom of a stacking set and it doesnt...

What exactly do the matted paws look like. Saying they are matted is the besy way to describe it. And how should i handle this?

I have read that matted paws can be a sign of this and the snotty noses. Well i have a group of 4 mini lop babies that are abot 9-10 weeks old and all 4 of them have snotty noses. Its like tanish colored snot that you can see and their paws are like matted up and orange but I am pretty sure that...

Ok, thanks I think that I will keep the larger doe and sell the smaller older doe and the buck. I have a friend that has a cali buck that I can use if I want. And this way I can bring in some more new zealands from the more commercial lines. I think the cali's are from a show line that the guy...

the guy i bought them from had probably 150 rabbits in that barn plus 2 other barns so not much handling but my problem is more of the slow growth and small size these are just meat rabbits but the new zealands are pretty calm<br /><br />__________ Wed Jan 09, 2013 8:05 pm __________<br /><br...

I now have a trio of californians. They are skittish and will box at me sometimes. The male doesnt box he just runs. And the boy and older girl are small where as the other doe who is a sister to the buck and 2 weeks younger than older one is probably a pound plus bigger than both. The buck is 5...

Thanks guys the incubator is a home made one so it is warmer on one side that the other. But I lost the baby. It knocked the wire over that was the divder between the the area it was in and got throught a small opening and was uderthe light bulb. It burnt itsself to death.

Thanks guys but neither mom i have right now is producing milk. I fed it on kitten formula i had here. I was going to buy the special rabbit milk replacer i saw at the pet store awhile ago. But how much should the kit get each feeding? I will keep checking to see if milk comes in on the mom or...

Thanks Heritage. But this does allow me to bring in a new meat doe that will be better behaved and allow to fix cages so babies cant fall out

Thanks amybart4570. If these would have lived i would have been able to make a profit off of them which goes to feed for my 4h steer. At least now i have time to make adjustment to the cages before more are born

I think the problem happened because i left the side door of the barn open to vent out some of the air that was pent up from being shut up through the really bad weather we have had the past few days. But thank you. i am going to try and flip the doe here in a few.

I have a doe that had at least 4. Last time she didnt make a good nest but 2 of the 4 were fine. This time there was no nest. The entire thing was full of poop with one baby on top of that under her. Thats the only live one. Then there was one on the ground in front of the cage and another in...

Thanks. I am excited to have some more room seperate keepers. And i have 12 week old californians and new zealands together with no problems. I am thinking it has something to do with that dad. All of my other litters have been fine together. I would get out of all of those babies but they are...

Thanks. The babies from this dad have been weird one baby from the other litter has been humping the other babies like it is trying to breed its sisters since it was about 4 weeks old. The one baby should be going to its new home today, and I am making some new cages this weekend to get the...

I have two mini lops that I weaned about a week and a half ago and they were fine with eachother. But then a couple days ago I put a baby from another litter in there, they are all the same size but different colors. The two sisters that i weaned first started fighting and it was bad they were...

Thanks MamaSheepDog. It does seem nice. I will tell how it works later. And OneAcreFarm the buck has tort, lynx, red, and black up his dads side and on his moms side he has black, tort, and chocolate. And the kits are 2 black, 1 blue, and the 1 possible lilac.

I have had a really good weekend. A blue mini rex doe that I bought "pregnant" in September never had her babies. So I rebred her in the end of October to my black buck. On Friday she had 4 kits. 1 looks black, 1 dark blue, and then 2 light gray ones. Is it possible they are lilacs? I dont have...

I went ahead and bred her to the older buck. He has a better fur density than the 1 younger one. And the other younger buck is not a color I would prefer to cross with her. I had barely closed the cage door before she lifted for the buck. In about 10 minutes she got bred 6 times. So hoping for...
