    ARGHHH Steel - Steel Otter?

    Hello all. In february I got myself a beautiful Vienna Blue buck to try to breed some diluted fawns. Knowing how breeding usually works where I am from (linebreeding is fairly common and keeping the "one line-one colour" in mind, especially with breeds that come in only one variation are rather...

    Venna Blue x Lop Cross

    Hello all. It's been ages since I last was around. I'll be soon finishing my college so more rabbit time for me. :D For quite a long time I have been thinking about breeding some other color into my black-based non-extension rabbits. Would love to see some blue, brown or lilac based fawns and...

    Paralysed month old

    Good day all. Feeding my buns this evening and found what I think is paralysed kit. No movement in limbs, tryed pinching it, only responds to pincing of head, neck or ears. However, besides a slight twitch, no head movement either. Breaths normally and blinks as well. Was all fine when checked...

    Nest building early in pregnancy

    Hello everybunny, One of my colony does, Nina, is probably the worst breeder we ever had. It takes her ages to accept the buck, never saw her lifting to a buck and when the mating actually happeneds, she goes crazy and runs around. On top of all that, about 1 month ago, halfway through her...

    Breeding nursing doe?

    Hello everybunny, here's the deal. About a month and a half ago Rubin, my buck, got into the colony and spent sometime with Nina and Fawn. They were without babies, but I was planning on giving Fawn one more month to rest and then breed them together. But, as you see, they most likely bred and...

    Mystery Pointed White

    Hello everybunny. We have these three 4 weeks old litters and one doeling that is by far the hardest colour for me to determin so far. So, you see, she looks almost like a Chin Pointed White. But she's not Ermine/Frosty, she has red eyes. We are not aware of any Brown or Blue genes...

    Wire gauage

    Hello everybunny, I'm still in process of searching for a good cage wire, and all the stores in my town have stuff that I'm not 100% happy with. It's either too thin or the gaps are too big. So, researching online I managed to find this one site that sells wire meshes, and found one...

    Maneless Lionheads?

    Hello everybunny. Just out of curiosity, by crossing two single-mane Lionheads, you end up with 25% maneless offspring. What are they used for? Do they look Lionhead in any way? Could they be used in breeding programs to improve type or stuff? Any pictures maybe?

    Kits turned cannibalistic

    Hello everybunny. A bit more then 1 month ago three of my parents' does kindeled and all the bebies were doing great. Up until this evening. We did the feeding, and as one of my does is about to kindle this night or tomorrow, I went to check on the rabbits. I noticed one of the kits from our...

    Is chasing normal?

    Hello everybunny. After thinking about it for a few days I finally paired up Nina and Fawn and trew them both up in the colony, where Fawn lives with her kits. They didn't seem to mind each other while on the floor outside the colony, but when I put them together, Fawn started chasing, but...

    How to wean?

    Hello everybunny. Pretty straight up question, Fawn's six kits are hitting 8 weeks this Thuesday and I guess they are healthy/fat enought to wean. I didn't wean before becasue my parents wean at 6-7 weeks and a few always pass, so I hope keping them a bit longer will help them develope their...

    Tipped, Steel or ?

    Hello everybunny. My parents' does currently have 3 litters that are 11-12 days old so it's time to check on the babies. I usually do it every few days, but as they opened their eyes now, I handled them made sure they are all fine. So, our Cali doe Rubi didn't let us down as other two and had 7...

    How many J-clips do I need?

Now, my only problem; is 800 J-clips (just under 2 pounds) enough for 3 cages (120 x 60 x 45)? it would cost me 284 kuna (46 $). My other alternative is 900 J-clips (they say 2 pounds) for 358 kuna...

We had three of my parents' does delivere and ended up with 16 wiggly kits. Few Fawns, bunch of Himis, some Blacks, both solid and broken... One of the does, Sivka, had...

Basically Reds, Fawns, Oranges, Creams, or however they are called, either Black, Chocolate, Blue or Lilac based. I do it in...
