High 80's. none of its litter mates ears are doing it

I noticed one of my 5 week old NZ bunnies suddenly has one ear that went limp. There might be a slight tilt to its head but not very noticeable. I assume it might be wry neck. Any ideas?

do you just let it soak in water in the fridge for two days?

I am going to process my first batch of rabbits this weekend and have a couple questions about it. Can I put them in freezer bags and put them in the freezer immediately after cleaning them, or do I need to soak them in salt water for a period of time first? (if so, how much salt and how long...

I bought a doe about a month ago. She was breathing faster than my other does but she looked overweight so I thought that was why. 2 and a half weeks ago she had 10 babies and is raising them all. She still breathes fast and I noticed she has a small scab right between her nostrils. It is...

Well when I checke on her this morning (day34) there was a baby on the wire that she dad been eating on. The body looked longer than normal like it was deformed. I don't know what the heck is going on.

My doe started pulling fur and making a nest at 5:00am on day 32. At 8:00am we checked on her and there was one baby on wire outside the cage, dead. Couldn't see any movement in the nest box so we left her alone thinking she would have the others in the box. I got home at 5:00 pm and checked...

Does anyone use a Trail Cam or other type video recorder to keep an eye on your rabbitry? I'm thinking about placing a trail cam in my back yard to see what kind of preditors I have lurking at night if any. Any recommendations for an affordable one?

I have a NZ white buck I am using now. I didn't plan on getting the red, but my wife liked the color so I thought I could use him down the line.

Breed my white NZ does for meat

I was planning on using him as a breeder for my white NZ does for meat. <br /><br /> __________ Mon Mar 02, 2015 9:19 am __________ <br /><br /> Here is a 20 second video of him http://youtu.be/V4ILQb_uFmg

the rabbitry I bought him from said his sire was NZ red and dam was NZ red with satin fur. I'm new so didn't know any better. So you think his mom was actually a mini satin?

I have a NZ red with satin fur that is 12 weeks old but only weighs about 3 pounds. I know the NZ whites are supposed to get to 5 pounds by 12 weeks. I dont know much about the reds, Is this normal?

Thanks, The hanging cages are to keep the wire off the wood frames. Much more sanitary as this prevents urine and manure from causing problems for them. <br /><br /> -- Thu Feb 26, 2015 4:30 pm -- <br /><br /> This is my first one and I will improve on the next one. I would love to see pics...

Just got our first rabbits and noticed the urine from one is red like blood. I did a quick goole search and it seems that this might not be anything to worry about. I've never heard of this before, but I am fairly new to rabbits. Should I be worried?

She is about sixteen weeks old. The breeder said we should wait till the first of April to breed them.

We got our first rabbits today. Two New Zealand White does and a NZ buck. One of the does lunges at my hand and tries to bite whenever I try to stick my hand in her cage to pet her. The others are gentle and let us pet them no problem. Is this biting behavior normal for NZ's? Will she...
