    Help with some colors, please!

    I assure you, it's there, just very sparse! Precious only has one, maybe two markings, and both are on her right side; the larges is on her rump. Earz has the brindling on her face, and one strip on her rump. *shrugs* Her litter, though, her litter with my black magpie has produced some...

    Help with some colors, please!

    Both Precious and Earz have brindling, so both would go down as lightly marked harlequin then? Do harlis have different colors like magpies? Also, I've heard that one could theoretically have a broken magpie, could the same thing exist in harlequins? How would you know? Sorry for all the...

    Help with some colors, please!

    Thank you!!!!! Okay, that lines up with what I've been thinking now that I'm getting into my research a little bit. Couple questions/comments: 1. What would a harlequin marked chestnut look like? Sounds interesting! I've noticed on this latest molt from Dolly that she has some weird...

    Help with some colors, please!

    Been a long time, and I finally have the time to jump into colors and genetics. I get pretty dang confused, and I just want to make sure I'm getting my colors right. MawMaw: I think she's a broken chestnut agouti. Do not know parentage. Throws brokens, cream/orange(?), black, gold tipped...

    These ok?

    I've supplied pics and scientific names where I have them. I have all of these weeds/tree growing like mad around me and would love to supplement the buns. I'm hoping to move over to fodder but I'm struggling with mold. Box Elder Tree (Acer negundo): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acer_negundo...

    Rex coat types

    So, my first time doe has had a very successful first litter with my mini rex buck. She's from the first litter I bred and based on what I was told, her mom is Cali x Standard Chin, and her dad was NZR. She is a very poorly marked harlequin with a normal coat. I've been out of town for the...

    Thoughts on a new regimen?

    Hey guys! Been a while but I thought I'd drop in. Been some health stuff going on and ended up needing emergency surgery and hubby has been feeding the buns for me. This got me to thinking about the fact that grain prices are going up, and so is the price of the pellets I feed. I normally...

    Have you seen this before?

    My Pibble girl is a huge help in herding the buns that manage to get out! I thought it was just a fluke, but maybe not!

    ...I think I got tagged by Cupid...

    I snorted... seriously! :lol: :roll:

    ...I think I got tagged by Cupid...

    So, I'm feeding the rabbits today, and pursued my usual routine of water, grain, hay, and then scritches. Well, I noticed that there was a little broken buck in one of my growout cages that kept running to the front of the cage each time I got within viewing distance. Didn't think much of it...

    New Moms

    I'm hoping she'll do ok. She's from the first litter I bred, and her mom is a GREAT mom and milk producer. She also has a great temperament, so I'm really hoping that'll make a difference, too.

    New Moms

    So, I have my very first 1st time mom. She's not due for a while, end of Feb, but I was curious if there's anything I can do to/with her to increase the chance of a positive outcome? For example, would putting some fur in the nestbox she ends up using help her realize that she should put some...

    Babies!!!! <3

    MawMaw had her kits earlier today. There's a total of 8 kits with no apparent runts and everyone looked fed! It's looking like I have 3 brokens, 3? gold tipped steel (possible 2 GTS, 1 black don't remember the ears on all of them), and 2 I-have-no-idea-what-color. I'm interested to see what...

    What's a reasonable price?

    Don't know if this is the right board, or not, so please move it if need be. I'm thinking about adding a Flemish to the mix (still not sure) and there's a local 'breeder' in the area. Not keen on her buns as she advertises them as "... Rare Blue Flemish Giants...". Here's the link...

    Red stuff in ear

    I don't think it's mites... this is starting from the top down instead of the bottom up and I haven't seen anything moving around... no crusties, it's flush with his skin. *facepalm* I didn't even think of this. I messed with it a bit, but didn't actually try clean it out for fear of doing...

    Red stuff in ear

    When I was feeding yesterday, I noticed a little bit of blood on Stewart's forehead so I pulled him out and took a look at him. Didn't find anything out of the ordinary except for his left ear. It has some sort of red stuff on the inside. It resembles the red gunk dogs get in their ears when...

    Selling unprocessed skins

    I was curious if anyone had any general price ranges for selling skins straight off of the rabbit. I have so many in the freezer right now and just not enough time to process them all. I was thinking of posting something on Craigslist to see what kind of interest I get.

    Have a problem

    We have one neighborhood cat that now pretty much lives here. Only came around ocassionally when we first moved in, but now, she's there, hovering, in the mornings when I go out to feed. I've also spotted her during the day and at night. Before she showed up, I was catching around five or so...

    How long is the meat good for?

    Huh... well, I'll revisit it. If it still smells good today, I think I'll make a basic soup. I do have to say that the nice thing about the dog is that she can handle stuff that's already started to turn (yay for awesome gut bacteria!) :).

    How long is the meat good for?

    I forgot about a bun I had resting in the fridge (never frozen). He's been in there probably around 1.5 weeks. He's just dry bagged in a ziploc, but I rinsed him well before he went into the fridge. I opened up the bag last night, and I didn't smell anything that turned my stomach (what DOES...
