Well, this is a first for me so I am not sure what to do. Rory here has a large abscess on the side of her face. I looked at her teeth and they seem fine, she is still eating and drinking normally and running around, even chasing the chickens, as she usually does. It feels like a large golf...

I had a rabbit transported across the country and picked up at a show. It did not seem to have any signs of illness when I picked it up and the breeder and transporter say they did not see anything. The morning after I got him home, one nostril has a white discharge. He is in quarantine...

I have seen a few different variations of blue tort and I am trying to figure out what makes the genetic difference. Can someone help explain? These are the blue torts I normally get. However, a judge has remarked that they are too mealy. These is the other kind of blue tort I have seen...

I had to move my doe with kits into a different cage (found a hole in hers that made me uneasy) yesterday. They are almost a week old, she had been feeding them fine, not a first time mom, has always been a good mom, 5 kits so not too much to handle. I checked the box this afternoon and...

The Ch gene still messes me up. What are my chances of getting seal of the dam is seal and the sire is pointed white with siamese sable x pointed white in the background?

I am planning on re-organizing my cages and hutches before the mini convention show this weekend and need some opinions. I currently have mostly Lionheads, a few French Lops, Netherland Dwarfs, and Dwarf Hotots. I have 30 cages outside and 15 cages inside my garage. My French Lops will be...

I am building a multi level out door hutch (several rows of cages). My current design has my last level ending 8 inches above the ground. I obviously would be unable to keep litters in it but what about adult rabbits? Is that too low to the ground for predators? What about for cleaning...

What does everyone attempt to maintain as their buck to doe ratio? I show and breed and after my last binge shopping I think I got too high on the bucks. I'm going to have 2 does for every buck.

For the excitement of it, I was contemplating getting a trio of NDs to show. However, research tells me that they are not a nice breed of rabbit. Is that the case or are there mean exceptions to the breed? For example, Lionheads are generally good natured but I have had two jerk does. Is...

I am looking for show quality orange/red or blue French Lops, either gender. Must be available in Pennsylvania or at osrba. Thank you!

I got suckered into falling for the French Lop. Unfortunately, most of my cages are dedicated to Lionheads so I really only have room for 2-3 so therefore I have to be super picky. I currently like the blue, the orange, and the red. If I wanted to get two that would have the possibility of...

4 bits born Thursday 3/3 and I could have sworn they looked rounder the morning of 3/4 but now I think they look skinny. First time mom. What are your thoughts?

My main breed is Lionheads which I breed and show and can get $100 a kit. I am also interested in possibly getting a trio of Hotots, Netherland Dwarfs, and a larger breed where I am leaning toward the French Lop. Which of these breeds and what colors do you feel would sell the best on the...

I have a doe that built a nest and pulled hair 10 days after being bred. Any chance it is not a false pregnancy?

I picked up a rabbit from a breeder about a month ago and its eye looked irritated but she said it was only from the fur (it is a Lionhead) so I went ahead and trimmed around the eye and of course the eye looked better for a few days and now is still red and puffy. This same rabbit has had soft...

So I went out to the outside hutch today and found one of my Lionheads dead. After looking through the cages I realized the predator must have gotten through a two by six inch hole at the top where the roof connects to the hutch. I had never really given that hole a second thought or noticed...

I have a doe that is due at the end of next week that I would like to move to a cage in my garage so I can check on her and the kits. Has anyone had any experience in moving pregnant does to new cages? Unfortunately I cannot move her cage so have to move her into a new cage. I want to make...

I got the perfect Lionhead buck for my herd. Has all of the strengths I was looking for. Two and a half years old and proven, had him transported across the country. Put him in with a doe. He humps away but does not seem to connect (no fall off). Check the doe, she's ready. Try again next...

I had a women with three young girls at my home today to pick up some ducklings. Young girls, large blue eyes, very polite and talked about all of their animals and asked questions about all of ours. The oldest one was venturing around and came upon the rabbit hutch with baby lionheads in it...
