Thank you everyone for all your advice, and input, also thank you akane for you very informative... novel? :lol: I got up this morning, and decided I would write out a long post, and try to fill it with as much information as possible. Be warned I am only half way through my first cup of...

I do not, and have not ever actually taken away his food, not even close. What I am meaning is that while he is eating I will walk by him very far, and few between, and simply pat his back while he is eating, pet his head, or give him a rub on the nose. While we are laying on the couch I will...

Name game sounds like a good start for her, and Luci. Even before we went, and got Luci I explained the rules to her. (Do NOT get in/grab his face. NO "kisses" until better trained, and comfortable with it, etc.) I also know that she is 6, and forgets, or gets too excited just as the dog does...

She does most certainly help in training him WITH me. She never gives commands while she is alone. I know without a doubt that he would never outright attack her, or anyone. These 2 incidents were the perfect case of him trying to show who is boss. (Example: She tried to get his toy when he...

Lucifer is 6 months old now he is a Doberman, and so far he is doing pretty well. When we first got him I would go up to him daily while he was eating/drinking/playing, and mess with his mouth, body whatever he had in front of him to test how his tolerance is. Not once has he made a wrong move...

Sex change fairy is a monster! I am 99.9% that is a female. My buns used to change sex daily at least!

Hello again everyone! It has been sometime since I have logged into RabbitTalk let alone made a post. I wanted to return, and give updates on all that has been going on since I left. (LONG POST WARNING! LOL.) Like the title says I am back, but no longer have any rabbits. Every was hopping...

Good morning everyone! I am finally back with a new batch of chickens, and chicks! There's 1 chick that I need help on trying to figure out which breed it is. Figured you guys would be able to help me as well since some of you also have chickens! Here's a little back story: My husband, and I...

Thank you guys so much!! <3 <3 Sorry I haven't been around lately. Have had a lot going, picked up a lot of hours at work, some death issues with a few of rabbits.

She had 8, and this is her first litter. The first few days she did a great job with everything. Built a great nest, kindled right in her nest. Now she is still wanting to take care of them, but it seems she doesn't have any/very little milk to give.

Okay I had a doe kindle a litter of kits 10 days ago. First few days went fine. Now it seems as though she is not producing milk anymore. We lost 1 already, but I think that was due to her stepping on it when it crawled out of the nest. Half of the kits still look pretty fat, and healthy, but...

Thank you everyone! It has only been 3 days, but their colors are showing up already!!! :D I am going to take a wild guess, and say the pink one is going to end up all white, and the black, and pink is turning out to be a Chestnut! I checked on them this morning, and that pink one is turning...

Hey everyone! Finally had my first litter of Harli's. Not purebred, but the color. Yesterday one of my first time momma's gave birth to 8 gorgeous kits! She did a great job. Pulled lots of fur, got all the kits in the box, VERY relaxed when I go to handle the kits. I know for sure 3 are Harli's...

So I have 2 does that are/were? pregnant. Today is day 27, I went out to feed everyone, and as I had my head stuck in one of my pregnant does cage I happened to look down. (Their hutch is out side, and their just hits the ground until I shovel it.) I saw a red spot that did not look like poop. I...

Kit movement is rather "fast" paced. Like quick sharp movements, and mostly at random places inside the doe. It if looks like a slow rolling movement along her side/belly that continues in a straight pattern I would say that sounds like intestinal movement to me. If it looks like what I call...

So I'm getting ready for my first "hot litter." I bred all through the cold months, and of course I provided plenty of straw for the nest boxes, but these will be my first warm months litters. All the does are outside. So should I just give them their nest box, and only let them fill it with...

I've had many litters with different breeds. Crosses, purebred, etc. The one thing I an noticing is that from what I can tell of other other breeders growth rates. Mine apparently awful (by my own standard.) From looking at posts here on RT, and a few groups on FB it seems most breeders 8-12...

I spend at lot time handling my rabbits, new, and old. Just to insure I don't get the crap kicked out of me like I did when we first started. Had a doe give a deep cut across my neck! :x After that I decided I'd spend a few hours a day handling each of my rabbits. Rabbits feel more secure...

Okay thank you both! I will be checking over my does today to see which out of the ones that just had litters is in the best shape at least enough to possibly be able to handle another litter. Not sure he'd even get her pregnant at this time being that it has been well into the mid 90's for a week.
