    UGH . . . frustrating, defect, toes grown together

    I discovered that on the back left foot of my black doeling, three toes/nails are grown together. I didn't notice it when I was trimming nails, but I wasn't paying super close attention. Is this genetic?

    Thinning the herd out. Which to keep and which to cull?

    I have room for about 10 rabbits max. I have 7 rabbits. Two senior does, two junior does, two pre-junior does, a senior buck and I have excess to a junior buck. These are all pedigreed Polish rabbits. I will start by naming and numbering each rabbit and what I like don't like and the general...

    What turns you off from a potential buyer?

    What are your things that you don't like and just turns you off, when you have a potential buyer contact you. I HATE when people use chat speak and no commas, periods or punctuation. Granted my grammar and typing isn't perfect, but I try, I also HATE trying to decipher chat speak, sometimes...

    Safe, edible tree branches for rabbits

    I know willow is safe for rabbits as is silver maple and sugar maple, and white mulberry, what about red mulberry Morus rubra? Also is pin oak Quercus palustris and what about the bur/blue oak Quercus macrocarpa are there any other oaks that are safe or toxic? What about the hackleberry and elm...

    URGENT/PLEASE HELP! Unusual sores/scabs on rabbit

    My tiny 6 month old Polish doe has a sore under her chin in the throat area. When I first noticed it last week I thought it was a black spot of hair since she is a broken. The day after I noticed it I went to Kentucky. I just got back late last night and after investigating her "black patch"...

    Keeping Pedigrees (Yuck!)

    The funnest part of rabbit raising, the records and filling out pedigrees. Don't you just love when you are almost done writing out a pedigree and realize you entered some information wrong and have to write it out... again. I'm not the neatest writer, and keeping records and filling out...

    BABIES! At last!

    My maiden black doe Expresso has kindled! I went out to check her a little while ago and she had three, a solid and 2 brokens. I don't think she's done because when I put my hand on her left side I felt a lump, so hopefully she will have some more. I am hoping she will have a nice solid buck I...

    I'm such an Idiot!

    Doe + Buck = Kits Well, most of the time. I was beginning to think my buck was worthless or my doe's were brats, or both. Guess not. In September I tried to breed my two Polish does, one is a maiden the other has had a litter, to my one Polish buck, he attempted, albeit half-heartedly, to do it...

    Spot's on the bellies of the broken's?

    :angry: :evil: :wall: I told myself I should get Polish instead of Nd's because their color was simpler and it wouldn't result in :wall: :rant: . Not true! I discovered a spot on my broken doe's belly and two spots on my broken black buck's belly and 2 spots on the belly of my main herd...

    If you crossed a Flemish Giant to a 5 lb Mini Rex . . .

    would you get large kits that grew faster? Would it be a good cross for meat? Just curious, I have thought about possibly getting a meat doe and breeding her to my 5 lb pet Mini Rex buck, but I want a doe large enough so that her size carries over to the kits and the buck's fast growing genes...

    Please help me evaluate this litter of Polish

    They will be 4 weeks tomorrow. They are out of my best doe and my ''worst'' buck who is headed to freezer camp. There is a broken black doe (my favorite), 2 black does (my twin sisters want to buy them) and a broken black buck (not sure that I like him since he reminds me so much of the...

    If I breed a broken colored rabbit with less than 10% . . .

    . . . color to a solid colored rabbit, how many false charlies would I get? Would it be 25% solid, 25% true broken, 25% false charlies and 25% :?: :?: :?: In my " :!: unexpected :!: " litter I have a small doe, but she's a false charlie, I like her and have already dubbed her with the name...

    Broken Chocolate + Blue = Black?!

    I recently had a litter from my blue Polish doe and Broken Chocolate buck and ALL the kits are black or broken black. What the heck? I would expect one or two black since they have ancestors that are black/broken black on their pedigree, but not all black. Will the kits stay black or lighten up...

    Can It be successful starting the weaning at 3 weeks?

    Most of you have probably seen my thread about Isabel my Polish doe having an unexpected litter. They are doing well but I really wanted to show her at the fair July 29th. I was wondering if I started weaning at 3 weeks by taking her out and putting her in a cage that they can see her from and...

    UPDATE: Popples have arrived!! **PICS**

    My blue Polish doe is pregnant! Ugh! She wasn't supposed to get pregnant until after the fair at the end of July. Uno and her had other ideals, they must've done it through the wire is the only thing I can think. I had them caged in a hutch (they were separated by wire) for a short while until I...

    Would you cross this pair?

    The breeder I got the blue from didn't recommend it. But if I did what would the likely outcome be?
