I have some New Zealand and New Zealand/Californian mixes for sale. 3-6 months old. These were bred for our freezer but we're having a hard time at the moment finding time to do it. Priced to sell: $15 for one, $10 each if you want more than one. Located in Hampton Roads VA.

We lost a doe on the 6th. She had had a litter on the 3rd. I didn't have another doe w/litter to foster to so I've feeding them the evaporated goat's milk/corn syrup/egg yolk formula. I lost 2 but the remaining 4 are doing great. They will be 2 weeks tomorrow. A few days ago they finally learned...

In the last week/just over a week, we've lost 4 does, all were 1-2.5 yrs old. Our does live in a colony set up so I made sure to open them up to see if I could figure out why, and prevent more from dying. Lungs, liver, etc all looked normal in all of them. However, they were all very bloated...

I've entered a picture of mine into a photo contest and could use some votes. Last night I checked I was at #16. I need to be in the top 10 to be in the group of finalist the judges pick from. You can vote every 24 hours and voting ends Friday. Thanks in advance...

I am in the market for a better place to buy hay. I have been buying these mini bales of timothy hay (http://www.amazon.com/Kaytee-Timothy-Ha ... B000256606) for my rabbits. I've been buying them at Walmart b/c that's the best pricing I've found so far (better than the local pet stores, feed...

My does had litters 2 months ago (Dec 3-6). There were 24 babies...one was a still born and one died a day or two later, bringing us to 22 kits. They did great until 3 weeks old. In the next week, we lost 4. Since then, we've lost 7. 1 of the 7 jumped from my arms on concrete so I know why that...

We have 3 litters in our colony. Once the babies started coming out of the nest boxes I sectioned off an area in the run so that the chickens couldn't get to the babies while they learned to hop around. We found a baby that had been trampled on Sat. I assumed that they didn't have enough room...

Thumper is our house rabbit and is about 3-4 months old. Over the last month I've noticed that he seems to be clumsy. At first it seemed like if he stretched up on his hind legs, he'd fall over. But lately (maybe b/c I'm watching him closer??) it seems to be happening more. If he goes to clean...

2 of our does had babies over night last night! They are the first babies to be born in the colony. Mopsy had 7 wiggly babies and Beatrix had 9 but 1 was dead when I checked on everyone this morning. I had to supplement Beatrix's nest with cotton balls b/c she didn't pull much fur; it's her...

I finally moved our rabbits into a colony setting and wanted to show it off. There's still a little tweaking that needs to be done (door isn't hanging right, need to put in nest boxes, ect). We decided to upgrade the chicken run making it bigger and decided to let the chickens share it with the...

I have two does. Mopsy has 5 week old kits. Flopsy is due tomorrow. This will be Flopsy's first litter and I'm worried she'll be a typical first time rabbit mom and not take care of her babies. If she doesn't take care of her babies, could I still foster her kits to Mopsy even though Mopsy's...

One thing I didn't think too much about when I made our colony plan was cleaning. Our rabbits are currently in hanging cages so not counting the flies, maintenance is very easy. If I build a colony on the ground (no solid floor, just buried wire), what would cleaning consist of? I figure it will...

I apologize up front for the length of this post. I just want to make sure I have everything right. We currently have 4 rabbits: 2 NZ bucks(Peter and Cottontail), 1 NZ doe (Mopsy) and a Californian doe (Flopsy). All are living in hanging cages. Mopsy has 4 2week old kits, Flopsy is hopefully 11...

First I owe yall a huge thank you! Without you guys, I think we would have lost these kits by now. So thank you, thank you, thank you!! The kits are now 3 days old. Mopsy, once again, did not nurse them when I brought her the nest box last night but did peak in at them and move the nest...

The boys have been peeing on each other again. However, this time a sponge bath isn't working. My poor little NZW is turning yellow! lol Should I use oatmeal dog shampoo (our dog has sensitive skin) or baby shampoo? Also any tips on preventing them from peeing on each other?

Flopsy was bred last month. This would be her first pregnancy. It's days 33 and no kits. She hasn't shown any signs of being pregnant either ..but then again Mopsy didn't during her first pregnancy. Anyways, I took out her nest box today. All she has done with it is eat the hay and use the...

I'm in south eastern VA and our summers are hot and humid. We're already having 80-90* days. :x I want to get some fans to help keep the rabbits cool. What would yall recommend? I'm especially looking for ones that won't break the bank. This is part of our set up (the grow out cages will be...

My New Zealand doe gave birth this morning. It's her 2nd litter and it seemed like she did it all right: pulled lots of fur and had them all in the nest box. I peaked in this afternoon and counted 10 warm wiggly kits. I peaked in again this evening and noticed one wasn't moving so I looked...
