I'm still trying to figure out the subtle nuances of certain colors and it is my first time seeing this one in person. Looking online, I feel like it might be safe to say she is a VM (w/ blue eyes) Lilac tort? Chocolate tort? IDK. She's 75% E Angora, 25% F Angora.

I noticed there's nowhere online to really ask general questions about this software as I've got one. I've been using it a while now and it's been great. Now I've got a pretty specific breeding program I'm planning to get into; I've had just a blue tort e angora buck and a rew e angora doe for a...

I have a bit of a black thumb, but I'm hoping to change that now that I've moved to several acres more than my last place. I'd also really like to grow things that could be fed to my rabbits, ducks, chickens, geese. Etc. Just growing times on seed packets are way off for Zone 9A, I'm not sure...

EDIT: CAUSE DISCOVERED. Wrong bedding choice for cage style nest boxes were the cause. Mothers were accidentally crushing their kits. Warning: Pretty graphic descriptions ahead. I have no idea how else to describe it... I've never seen anything like this before honestly and this doe has, up...

I know this has been discussed many a time regarding preferences with programs, but I'm looking for specifics. I have been using the free version of Kintraks for several years, anytime I needed something recorded, it has been my go-to for the simplicity. But now that I am actually working on...

A bit of a long story, sorry there's no real way to keep this short. I have that new property I've been gushing about. It is a little over 4 acres. My mother is helping me a great deal to get everything sorted out. Basically, we got the lot extremely cheap (she found it and is fronting the...

Ok, so I have a total of 13 holes that are ready to rock and roll. I have 6 more but they are too heavy to move and on the other side of the house where they are vulnerable to bear attack (I posted about this not that long ago). I have NZWs (1 buck, 5 does) and Mutts (2 rex/lop mixed does and 1...

Just thought I'd share a bit of my excitement at finally finding (and acquiring) a trio of Standard Rex's. It was a 1.5 hr drive but soooo worth every minute of it. The opal is a buck, the broken black and broken castor are both does. Their parents were gorgeous, huge, and had thick velvet...

My place of employment was clearing out a TON of birdcages and letting everyone who worked there grab whatever they wanted. I grabbed 4 stacking cage racks, each with 4 bird cages (23L x 16W x 16H) I don't have pictures of the racks since they're at the new place already but I did store the...

Per my post in e-cuniculi-and-earmites-t27195.html#p290170 I assumed my recently acquired buck had E. cuniculi. It turned out his head tilt was entirely the ear mites and nothing else so he has been perfectly coordinated after they died off. He has still been treated to be safe for 10 days now...

I've got the medication to treat for both on a few buns I recently got for free (don't worry they are on quarantine). I'm just not sure how much and how often to use the medicines. There is a fairly huge difference between what I've seen posted around for either. For their ears I have mixed...

I have 1 buck and 5 does, I am having so much difficulty breeding though. I managed to get 2 does to kindle (Eleanor and Mountain Dew) but lost all of the kits from both (one to bad mothering, the second was my fault) There are 3 does that try as I might I can't get them pregnant. I've rebred...

Okay, I feel pretty embarrassed even asking about this but basically I decided that I wanted to work on a line of rex rabbits again, instead of for pets this time I am hoping to breed them for the fur and color variations as well as take advantage of the meat. I have tried google searches on...

I have never seen anything like it before. I don't know if anyone here has? Basically I was walking at dusk and noticed a swarm of very small yellow bees swarming into a moderately large opening in the ground. After searching on google, I seem to get the impression it couldn't be bees? I found...

After holding her body in the fridge for 2 days, I decided to perform a necropsy on MoonTune, for my own peace of mind. I have never opened a rabbit as old as her before (she was 3yrs old). I was very surprised to find not one of her organs looked... normal? Not one looked like what I am used...

Came out to tend the buns today after an early Drs. appt and found my most expensive rabbit was hunched up, hasn't touched their hay, they had tons of pellets left from last night and didn't touch any of their fresh greens which had gone soggy. I noticed they also consumed only about 1oz of...

Okay, I have a total of 5 does. 2 Finally got pregnant so now I KNOW the issue isn't my buck. I have 3 does that I have tried time and time again to breed, One gets extreme false pregnancies to the point you can't even rebreed her until after "normal birthing time" was passed because she thinks...

Figured I'd make a new thread for this. (NOTE: I LIVE IN FLORIDA, It is still mid 80's - low 90's during day with lows at nights still in the 70's, but humidity is very high) I presently have 2 nests, nest #1 has 5 kits born Saturday morning (8/29) and nest #2 has 8 kits born the night before...

I used to breed Rex's years and years ago. About 4 years ago, I had to sell them all (and eat what didn't sell) after becoming unemployed for nearly 2 years and not having enough money to feed them and myself anymore. I became employed again, but was too upset about the loss of my buns to do it...

As I fleetingly mentioned once or twice, I'm planning to move the farm. In the meantime I have to get the house completely presentable to sell. We are going on the market next month but if deals fall through on current places we are looking at, then the dogs will be present during the showing of...
