Aww, I'm sorry :-( I've had does breed in funny ways. I have a mini-lop who is the laziest buck ever- I am actually getting rid of him because he is a much better pet. When a doe lifts for him he litterally just slumps over and slowly crawls down. I imagine him saying something in this drugged...

It may just be the image, but it looks enlarged to me, ratio wise. I wonder if they have a genetic disposition. Maybe a clotting disorder that is genetic, something hard to detect. Rabbits are awful about hiding their illnesses.

Jersey Wooly's, turned one week old yesterday (Born September 25th). There are five now, was six. One was found on the wire at 3/4 days old, we think it didn't let go of mum and was dragged out. I couldn't revive it. We had 3 this color, now just 2. Not certain what color it is. Ma is a broken...

Thank you! Sorry my "thanks" took so long, I thought I had posted one, must've not sent properly! I've ordered some udderly smooth on amazon, should be here soon. Hopefully it helps! I don't see any fur mites, but one of the kits has some dry skin around the ear I'm keeping an eye on. Looks like...

I have a doe that keeps attacking my children. She's never gotten me but has growled, shown her teeth, and stomped like she was going to. I just got her in July. My husband was not happy yesterday to hear we drove 4 hours to get her, and I intend to breed her and weed her, but I can't keep a...

Really impressive that you managed to get these pictures. They are precious, even if they were not meant to be.

I would be concerned that the concrete would hold in moisture and increase risks of bugs and fungus that could make the bunnies sick. I've never heard of a bunny tearing up a wire. It's what my family recommends and has used for a very very long time.

Haha, I didn't see that you would be filling in the raised bed. That's what I get for being tired, trying to work, and avoiding work at the same time... If you have trees to block wind it's probably fine. I'm thinking it may have been last year we had snow on thanksgiving...I'm not sure. Temp...

Not sure what it would get like in your location, but if I used tin roofing here in Southern Indiana I would come out to roasted bunnies in no time at all. I would lay some wire in the bottom and cover with some dirt to prevent burrowing. Using a raised bed sounds like a great way to...

Wire. My family has used colony plans for cali's for decades. They burry the wire and seed grass over it. They do it several weeks before they move the bunnies in though. They keep two pins, one that's growing grass, one that is being used. They keep them on a rotation. They very rarely have any...

Hi Ya'll! I've never ran across this and I'm wondering if any of you have and have any recommendations... We recently bred our favorite bun for the first time. She has done a great job, despite being a tiny jersey wooly she had six gigantic babies and all have been nice and plump and seem to be...

I've had friends whose senior does had a few litters, then got fixed, and were just fine. I imagine they reach a "retirement" point just like we do. I've never had a doe around long enough to find out :-/ The problem with foster bunnies is that I've no way of knowing what they are coming from...

Rabbits are kind of like people when it comes to breeding. Sometimes we want to, sometimes we don't. Some people think getting a doe fixed will solve their problems, but many find it causes more. If you take out a persons uterus, it doesn't stop us from wanting to have children. This is why I...

Peppermint oil. Works like a charm! I just soak some fabric or cotton-ball and lay it down usually, but with our recent wolf-spider problem I'm thinking about spraying it all around the perimeter. We haven't had a problem since we started doing it, but I keep doing it because the last time we...

Too soon to tell. Looks fine so far! This breeder though...I take serious issue with them. I also take serious issue with pet store buns though :D You might watch for a show nearby and go to them. You might find what you are looking for there.

Definitely not. May be some sort of cross, but I'd say it's likely the 2nd gen of a cross. Is it soft? I'm wondering if it isn't a velveteen experiment gone wrong.

We have been considering a misting system to go with the auto-water system we've picked out. Does this sound like a reasonable effort? It would run along the cages on the inside (Where they would be able to lay for maximum shade, to avoid sunburn), with the non-metal tubing blocked off from...

Now days they share budgeting strategies instead.

JERSEY WOOLY! I can't imagine it gets easier than that! I can sit our jerseys down and take care of other things for an hour and often come back to find them still in their spot. I've freaked a few dozen people out at shows by leaving them on the table while wondering off to fetch one of my...
