I have a copper (chestnut) doe that I know carries chin and non-extension. I bred her to a red buck that I know is Cc. Got two solid black kits. Neither of the parents have ever had a self before, but can I assume from this that whether it is a black or a self chin that both parents carry...

Hi, I had three litters born on the same day. They are now 17 days old. Two litters are totally normal size, but in the third the babies are significantly smaller. Parents are small, but within size limits for the breed and have had normal litters before. Litter was 4, with two peanuts which...

Hi, I just received a doe that was taken out of a bad situation. I guess she had a litter that died when they were about 3 1/2 or 4 weeks. :? (really?!) Anyway, she seems pretty healthy, but her teats are swollen, not hot and no discharge, but very lumpy and full. I read on here that mint...

What the heck? 4.7 earthquake in northern arizona? No damage, but it sure shook us up a bit. First for me.

I know you can get coppers with light harlequin markings but does anyone know if that would be Eej or just some modifiers at work? I am working on getting tri's and need to know if that copper carries ej or if it's freezer camp material. Thanks

Hi, I have a doe that's in what I believe is GI Stasis. On Sunday she didn't look quite normal, didn't eat her pellets and had smaller poops but I gave her some oatmeal and she ate that, also drank a little bit. Yesterday she had a few tiny poops in the morning, but I couldn't get her to eat...

Can anyone tell me if rex fur is a simple recessive gene like satin fur is? Thanks

I had a first time doe kindle on the 31st day. She only had one large stretched kit that was DOA. I left her nest box in for three more days just to make sure she didn't have any more. Tried to palpate her to see, but I'm not very good at it so I didn't feel anything. Doe was fine, no...

We are being evacuated due to a wildfire that's heading towards us. I can take 9 rabbits with me in their carriers or I can leave them with plenty of food and water and take the chance that the fire will miss us. Do you think the rabbits will be OK being in their carriers for probably at least...

I have a kit that I thought when born was a copper, but it wasn't nearly as dark when born as my other coppers. She's four weeks old now and kinda looks like a weird copper, much lighter tips than they should be. Then today I was reading about chocolate agouti and I'm thinking that might fit...

I have a doe that kindled about 10 days ago. She and the kits all seem fine and healthy, eating normally, but a few days ago I started finding large piles of cecotropes in the cage. Should I worry about this or is it normal? Kits seem well fed and doe is eating and drinking normally. Thanks

Hi all. I had two litters recently. Both does were chin mini satins (full sisters) with pure chin pedigrees. One was bred to a chin buck that carries all kinds of colors and the other was bred to a red buck (red for generations). First litter was one chin and one white kit. The second...

Hi, I have a question about feeding BOSS. I have a doe that needs to gain a little weight and I've seen in some topics that several people recommend adding some BOSS to the feed. Is that fed with the shells still on? Thanks.

I have a question, I need to identify some kits that I need to put in with a foster mother. All kits are basically the same color. I have tried using a sharpie in the ear, but that only lasts a day or so. Is there anything else I could use or will I have to put an actual tattoo dot in the...

Thanks to my rainbow pedigrees (lol) I am getting some colors that I'm not familiar with. This light tan kit is a foster to the others, but it's littermate that didn't make it, was what looked like a blue chin. It is almost a champagne color, ears and belly are lighter but not really white...

I know these kits are only a few days old, but I am curious as to what you all might think their color might be. The first one I have no idea, never had one that color, could be a very smutty red. The second one maybe looks like a chocolate to me. What do you think?

Hi, I have heard a lot of people talk about long shoulders. Could someone please explain to me how to "see" long shoulders? Thanks

I have two chin does that I was going to take to a show in the middle of February. One of the does is molting and although I keep grooming her, there is still quite a bit of old hair on her. It's seeming to take forever, and it's very noticeable in the chin satins with an apparent line between...

I had a couple of questions about rufus factor. I have seen the +- way of writing it, but I was wondering if a rabbit with high rufus will be a lighter, orangey red or a deeper, darker red. Also, if I was trying to get a brighter red color in my copper's red banding, would it be better to...

Hi all, I moved four does to a warmer room to kindle after I lost one litter to freezing. We can get up to 50 during the day and down in the teens at night. My problem is that I just weaned the kits and they are still in the nursery room. I believe I probably should have started moving them...
