    Yeah she had them!

    Rainbow had 7 little black wigglers. All look well (without really checking them out) and have been tucked in for the night. Mama was happy to get her baby carrot and seems relaxed. Thanks for all the baby bunny dust! I will bring them in tomorrow and get a good look at them but I think they...

    Due any time now

    Rainbow my Sr Cal doe who was bought pregnant but didn't deliver was re- bred 31 days ago, in the afternoon. The last doe who was bred at this time didn't have her kits until the next morning on day 32 after 10:00. I was thinking this one might be early as she has been nesting for about 10...

    Sexing kits? Pics

    I have a little blue kit who I would like to keep.... I am trying to sex it. I think it looks girly but I really don't know. It is only a little over a week old so I do not want to stress it too much. Here are some pics. Any guesses? And the last one!

    Pregnant doe not eating

    Well she eats just not that much. She is at day 27 and She built her nest a week ago. She is only eating about 2.5 to 3 oz of her pellets or maybe even a little less (She's on purina 16%) The other rabbits are eating. She also eats an Alfafa/timothy/prarie hay mix. She is eating that, just...

    Can you eat it?

    If a rabbit is culled out of a herd because it "might" have pasturella can it be processed for human consumption? Would there be a way to tell during processing?

    They are starting to get fuzzy!

    OMG!!! They are so sweet and fuzzy. I can't wait till they open their eyes! I'm waiting a few more days to take them all back out and weigh them, so for now I'm just snapping pics through the cage. The little blue one is one of the largest in the litter. My fingers are crossed for a large...

    Nesting

    I now have one nest of kits who at the moment look good. I am due for another in 10 days. I put the second does nest box in today. I know it is very early, but she has been driving me crazy wasting hay and carrying it all over. I put in a box and she has already built a nest. It is not near...

    Here they are (popple pics)

    But what are they? Other than mutts I was curious about the color. Mom is black NZ type about 9.5lbs all I know about her was that her sister has won some shows. But not what kind of show could be just a pet thing. At this point there is no way to find out more info. She has been bred...

    Bringing in the nest box

    Can I bring the nest box into the house to do a good inspection on the kits? Yesterday I just moved hair around and made sure they were alive and took some quick pictures. I would like to look at each of them and document weights and just make sure they are all good. It did get down to a...

    My Rabbit is due yoday!

    She was bred around noon last month on the 10th. So far nothing this morning, but she has a very nice nest that she has made, so I think I really might get kits soon. She is also a very grumpy lady!

    We just had our first rabbit dinner

    A friend who supplied us with our newest doe also brought me a frozen fryer. I started by cutting it up like in the video at the top of the page. It was much easier to cut up than a chicken. Then I placed in in a cassarol dish in a 400 degree (with salt pepper and butter) oven for 15 min...

    Californian

    I have a Cal doe who was just bred to a Palomino, Silver fox cross (who is black with some silver hairs) Will my kits be black or will they look californian? I read somewhere that if you breed Cals with black satins it can darken their points and some will be satin cals. But I do not know if...

    Nipples

    Can you always see a does nipples? I'm still hopeful for a late pregnancy, and when my doe lays on her side they are visable. They might always have been but I have not had the chance to notice. I know I'm grasping at this point....It is really very sad :oops: I picked her up on the 7th and...

    Leafy Sprouts

    I love sprouts and grow my own all the time. Very little alfalfa mostly clover based with cress or mustard and fenugreek some onion and garlic or radish. I have a few different mixes I got from Spoutpeople. I know some of these mixes are up to 30% protein they could be more if they had...

    Sneezes

    I just got 2 rabbits last Saturday. A 9 month old bred doe(we hope) and a 7 week old buck. They are in cages next to one another out side. The buck tends to sneeze a lot. If he's licking water off a frozen water jug he'll sneeze a few times and sometimes when he's got his face in his bowl...
