I have a litter of 5 mini lops just born this week. they are all a silver or frosty looking color. I'm not quite sure what the color would be. Mother is a REW out of a Chestnut buck and REW doe, Father is a sable out of a broken black buck and a black chinchilla doe. Any ideas?

I have a californian doe, Frosty, who is about 9 months old. Up until now, she has been strictly a show rabbit. Once she hit six months old, I told my daughter (she shows her), that she can continue to show her for a while, but I need to get her into my breeding program. Problem was, every...

Totally off topic of rabbits, just looking for some advice and or opinions. Recently, when I became a grandpa, I made my new grandson a toy train. It is more for decoration than a toy. That led to a few people telling me I should make more to sell, and take custom orders. So I did some...

I just gave my REW mini lop doe a handful of hay for her and her month old babies. Just had to snap a quick picture to share. This was her first litter. 5 kits, all REWs, and she is a very good mother.

We have a 5 month old mini lop doe who has lately become a royal PIA. She has become aggressive acting lately. Just an all around unpleasant rabbit. When I got her, she was about 7 weeks old. Her mother was very calm and easy going (so was her father), so I don't think this is genetic...

Obviously californians are a meat breed. I raise them for that purpose, but, my daughter also shows them. Typically, if we have a doe we are keeping as a future breeder, she will show her until she is old enough to breed. All that said, I really like the breed. Sure, they are all pretty...

I am considering getting a trio of silver fox rabbits sometime next spring. I have a lot to learn before hand. My idea is raising them for their fur. I love the way they look, and I would love to eventually have enough pelts to make a couple huge blankets from them, then possibly some house...

Going through mini lop babies (ok, 2-3 month olds) today. Hard to decide which ones make the cut to stay, and which ones don't. The litter off of Belle and Oliver (black steel doe and chestnut buck) consists of an Opal doe, chestnut doe, chestnut buck, and two black steel bucks. The chestnut...

Just wanted to post a couple pictures of a nice looking rabbit we found out in the barn (ok, its actually a garage but gets used as a barn) This little girl is about 9-10 weeks old. This is my daughters rabbit, produced by her first two rabbits she owned, this was their first breeding. She's...

I had two chins born to a mini lop a couple months ago. One is several shades darker than the other. Actually, the lighter colored one has a lot of white throughout, yet not a broken. Hard to explain, but can't get a good pic. Anyway, they eyes. Both have reddish eyes, but not the same red...

My doe Alice, had her babies this morning. Her first litter was on a -20 day and all died. That was a litter of 8. Her next litter, she had 12, 3 died or were still born, the remaining 9 all grew great and thrived. Today was her third litter. She had 15! One was DOA, 11 were warm and...

My wifes two thriantas should have had there babies a few days ago. Neither did. Today, the youngest of the two had her litter. Looks like 6 of them. She is two years old, this is her first litter. The other doe is 5 years old, has had one litter in the past. She hasnt had hers yet, but I'm...

After over a month of trying to get my opal mini lop to breed, she finally lifted for our chestnut buck Oliver. Was really wanting to breed her to our broken chestnut buck, Sonny, but Sonny was busy breeding shiloh. So, hopefully in a month we will have a couple more litters of mini lops. Have...

Our litter of four mini lops received their names tonight. I am planning on keeping one buck and two does from my litter of californians, so they got their names tonight as well. My daughter got first pick of the mini lop litter. She chose the broken chestnut, named her Cheyenne. My son, who...

Does anyone here have any grand champions? One of our mini lops has one leg, another one has two legs. Although I am planning on joining, I haven't joined ARBA yet. I know the rabbit has to be registered with the ARBA to get a GC certificate, but, if I wasn't a member of ARBA when the legs...

We have a rabbit show tomorrow. Daughter will be showing four mini lops and a californian. Wife will be showing a pair of thriantas. I will be racing back and forth here, there, and everywhere. I will also be taking our one month old mini lop kits to see if loplover will look them over for me...

I work with the public, nuff said about that. I had a great idea today. I told a coworker we need a pinata. Hear me out.....customer is agtivating, or idiotic, we walk into the office, grab a baseball bat and beat the hell out of the pinata. We relieve frustrations, and we get candy....think...

On April 25 I should have a litter of californians born. This will be her first litter, so keeping my fingers crossed. Next, on May 6 I should have a litter of mini lop crosses. This breeding I only did to try to entice a different doe to breed. I read somewhere that can stimulate a stubborn...

Earlier this week I started setting up my stacked rabbit cages in my garage. Last night we were expecting a lot of high winds and bad thunderstorms, so I started moving rabbits into the garage. The rabbit shed they were in was a lean-to type shed added to the back of the garage. It is covered...
