    When is it Safe to Breed?

    Hi, it's me again :oops: I took my doe who had a urinary tract infection to the vet, and they gave me ten days worth of antibiotics for her. The ten days are now up, and I can see no further signs of an infection. Her bum is dry/normal again, and she seems perfectly happy. She lifts every...

    Colour Chances with Himi and Black Otter?

    That's good to know, thank you :) I'm getting a bit tired of shadeds after years of Sables etc. And I'm even more tired of Martenised Himalayans! Which is exactly what I got from Dinky this morning... two little Himi kits (one DOA). If I were to keep the remaining kit and breed it back to the...

    Colour Chances with Himi and Black Otter?

    Wow, thank you @Dood! I guess the only way to find out if she carries agouti would be if there are Chestnuts then? That would be cool- I've never had that colour before. What would I get from breeding the same buck to my other doe?

    Interesting Set Up

    I'm doing re search for an essay on rabbit meat I'm writing at the moment (I'm homeschooled, and I was allowed to choose a topic for this one :lol: ), and came across an interesting article. It's about someone who used to raise rabbits in standard wire cages, but switched to a colony style set...

    Continuous Problems With Brood Doe

    Just thought I'd pop in and give an update of Marley. She's recovered from her bout of GI Stasis, and is back to eating like a horse and grunting whenever I pat her. I never thought I'd be happy to hear that noise, but thank goodness! It's not fun trying to force feed something through a...

    Colour Chances with Himi and Black Otter?

    My little Martenised Himalayan ND doe is due to have our first litter by my new buck any time now. I just went to check her and she's pulled fur and plonked herself in the nest box, so could be today. But because I'm impatient and curious about the statistics, I'll ask anyway :P The buck is a...

    Continuous Problems With Brood Doe

    Thanks for your responses :) Just looked that up and I don't think she matches the description. Her behaviour is normal and there's no discharge, only urine. I had a listen to her lungs and they sounded the same- if a little louder- then my perfectly healthy doe. I couldn't tell if she was...

    Continuous Problems With Brood Doe

    My sister (who used to help with the bunnies) thinks it's some sort of bacterial infection, but I'm not sure after listening to her snuffling today. I might get in touch with her breeder (who happens to be a vet, too) and see what she thinks. Hopefully it's nothing too bad! I feel really bad...

    Continuous Problems With Brood Doe

    I did a post about a month and a half ago about a doe that has urine all over her bum. Post link is here: post319587.html#p319587 Well, she still hasn't got any better. If anything, she seems to be worse! I brought her inside today and gave her some apple cider vinegar (not sure if it'll help...

    Questions to Ask when Buying Rabbits

    Thanks heaps @Ozarkansas and @Tea TimeBunnies! :) I think it's pretty normal for breeders around here- especially those with lots of rabbits in more then one breed- to go without trimming any claws for a few months. It's a quick fix though so I'm not complaining too much. I wouldn't be...

    Questions to Ask when Buying Rabbits

    Ok, surely this time!! Aaand... the doe. He looks allot better now that his claws have been trimmed, so I can get some more photos of him tomorrow if it would make any different. They were pretty long! :x <br /><br /> __________ Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:41 pm __________ <br /><br />...

    Questions to Ask when Buying Rabbits

    He's here! I'm a bit sick at the moment and couldn't go to pick him up from the pet transport. So I was kinda dieing (both literally and figuratively) while I waited for my mum and sister to come home with him. :lol: I'm not gonna lie in that I am kinda disappointed at how narrow and racy he...

    She's back! (new tread title)

    She's cute :) I love Lionheads. Is she going to be a pet or a breeder?

    Questions to Ask when Buying Rabbits

    Thanks for your replies @SarniaTricia and @ladysown! I think I'm learning the hard way with transporting rabbits. Next time I have something sent down, I'll definitely be making absolutely sure the breeder knows exactly what I'm after! I thought I'd made myself clear to them when I told them...

    Questions to Ask when Buying Rabbits

    Thanks @SableSteel! Yes, it can get quite confusing when most of the resources online are for those under ARBA standards. Would you pay that plus the extra $50 to send him down though? I think I'd be fine if I knew exactly what I was getting. Which is why I'm just going around in circles at...

    Is this Blue Seal Marten?

    Yeah, I get confused with the different standards and names for things. Dark Smoke Marten sounds more correct :P I can post some more photos tomorrow if it would help? I think those photos were edited slightly (they were taken a while ago) because of the lighting, so different photos might make...

    Is this Blue Seal Marten?

    Is this doe shaded or not? I've been calling her a Blue Seal Marten, but I'm not sure. She's out of a Seal Marten and a Blue Otter. I'd love it if I'm wrong and she isn't shaded, but I need you opinions :P

    Questions to Ask when Buying Rabbits

    Thanks for your help @Ozarkansas- I really appreciate it :) I'm not actually sure how registering works here. I might look into that! We're under the British Rabbit Council (or something like that), so I'm guessing you just send in some paper work. The buck I'm buying isn't actually registered...

    Questions to Ask when Buying Rabbits

    Those are all very good points, and I probably should have been more clear about what exactly I wanted in the first place. It complicates things a little when she's kinda hard to get in contact with. And while I really don't want to buy anything I'm not completely happy with, I also don't want...
