Lost my big flemish giant doe last night.. Apparently she gave premature birth to 2 kits and died in the process, went out to water everyone and found her lifeless. Any ideas why it was so difficult for her or why it killed her? She's a big girl, the kits where pretty small... dunno why it'd be...

Picked up a couple of nice lionhead does today, also was gifted a litter of 5 9 week old kits. They have some issues, and are probably just going to get fed off to the snakes, but I'm still curious what might be up with them. They are 9 weeks old, but very small for their age, they act fine...

Found this in an empty field next to a storage unit auction I was attending. Looked over and saw this laying there, came back after auction and grabbed it.. Someone cut the latch off and tossed it, works for me! LOL

Only a couple weeks left to wait but it's getting the better of me. I picked up 3 mini rex does (proven does) and a jr for a smokin deal of $20, the mini rex does throw ~40 babies between the 3 of them so I decided to give it a whirl, curious what I might get: Does: 2 Tan/orange looking rabbits...

One gave birth a couple days ago. 6 popples. Shes killed 3. She nursed 2 but peed in the nest box leaving me to war m one up tonight. Second female birthed 2, refuses to use nest box. Kits are warm/fed but she keeps trying to nest on wire and cut one of the kits on the head in the process...

Got up this morning, she had 2 popples, no nest. So I made her a makeshift nest. I felt her abdomen and could feel more babies inside. Now she is building a nest and pulling fur... This normal to give birth on 2 nights instead of 1?

Curious to find out how much feed others are going through compared to me. Right now I'm at about 47 head of rabbit, and I'm going through around 40lbs of food a week. Herd comprises of a flemish giant, 6 mini rex, 3 french lops, 10 left in the litter to sell (8 week olds), 10 raise ups (3-5...

I have a few does that when placed with a male just lay down and start grunting and whining. It's mainly 2 sisters that do this. They were housed with their brother but were each only 4-4.5 months. He was sold off and is long gone.. could he have done the deed??

Saw this ad up today: http://denver.craigslist.org/grd/4027893701.html I have never seen this breed available in the states before, I'm curious if anyone more familiar with the breed could tell me if they look legit and if it's a good price... I'm heavily heavily debating picking a buck and...

:pancake: So I picked up a grab bag of bunnies recently at auction. One of which was this 8-9 week old lop cross (as they call it). His eyes are actually red- and not blue, but the rest of the color is kinda correct.. so he's like a light chocolate with... red eyes? Now I'm no expert in rabbit...

So I picked up some more wire today after having some good success building my first all wire cage. I've been using 1/2" x 1/2" wire for the floors, but the 1" but 1/2" was significantly cheaper ($30 cheaper). Is this acceptable to use on the floors? It looks fine, and I know the cages sold at...

Here's just a few. I breed reticulated pythons- which is what got me into rabbits in the first place. I kept a single one back as a pet and now have 3 pets that will end up staying even if I get out of meat rabbits one day, but lead me to actually enjoy rabbits and have 40+. My white phase...

I have a ton of this stuff growing around here, and it's super easy to just yank the whole plant clean out of the ground, cut the root off, and toss it in a cage, and the rabbits seem to really love it. Been using it sparingly because I don't know how "safe" it is. I know the wild bunnies eat it...

I'm debating pretty heavily on buying the 24x24 all metal cages that my local feed store sells. They are $35, no legs/pan, but I plan to just attach them to 2x4s and sit them off the ground anyway so that's not needed. I can build slightly cheaper, but only if it's partly out of plywood, which...

Picked up this doe yesterday, she was ready and the price was right, she looks sort of dutch but I'm not really entirely sure.. Excuse the somewhat messy cage, carrying cage to bring the group I bought home in only.

I've read some varying thing about nest boxes, but I constantly see one "style" of nest boxes used- and had a few questions regarding such. How important is that "one style" of box, you all know the one I'm sure, and how massively important is using a nest box when the cage is not an entire...
