So i have Mixed breeds. I was told NZ/Flem. Both parents are this mix. They both are a chinchilla colour. Well My Doe, "Cow" just had her 2nd litter on the 18th. Her last litter was just a single kit, a nice chin grey buck. Well this time she gave me 9 kits.. and while the majority are the...

I've had some people ask if my meat breed kits are for sale as pets. I could sell them as that since i handle them and they are used to people. but I'm wondering if maybe getting into dwarf breeds for this purpose is a better idea? Anyone start out with meat breeds and switch or add dwarfs for...

My buck, Big Guy.. Has been running around his cage like a wild man lately. He'll throw his j feeder around the cage, stamp then bust around the cage. I have a hay holder in there as well.. Well yesterday he got stuck in it! I literally had to pull him out of it by his scruff. What the heck...

Some of my does and kits have yellowed fur on their feet.. this is obviously just normal discoloration from being in a cage.. but I'm wondering if i should wash them? or is that just asking for bad luck.. lol? Do Show rabbits get a "wash and blow dry" before every show?

My Cali Cross had a litter of 7 today! All healthy all pink... she pulled an amazing amount of fur for the nest too, and didn't pull until she was in labour I'm assuming because i went down at 9am, then again at 3 pm and there was nothing... when i went down at 5 pm.. she had pulled, kindled...

Ok so my kits are 3 weeks old now (as of Monday) and I weighed them on sunday. There is 8 of them.. 1 from one doe and 7 from the other doe... I fostered the runt and one of the other smaller kits to the doe with just 1 kit because i thought the bigger kits were hogging the milk from the...

Ok so my kits are about 2 weeks old now... nice and plump and eyes are starting to open. I intend on moving them and mom to a larger cage. Should i be taking the nest box with them? or are then big enough now to be with out it? Also.. i know we have thread on sexing newborn kits... but can i...

This is "Gray" He's a rex mix we believe. he was adopted by my neighbor from a rabbit rescue. He's not fixed though. Anyways... I'm curious about his colouring. Some sort of Tort? Magpie?

Ok so one doe had 9 kits last week, one was born dead, another i lost yesterday. I'm not sure what happened but i found it cold out of the nest, tried to revive it but later found a small mark on the back of its head so I'm assuming mom killed it? it was healthy looking, recently fed.. so I'm...

Ok I'm slowly learning about colour genetics.... The majority of my rabbits, including my buck are Chinchilla coloured. I have 4 that are this colour.. and 1 who is a californian cross so is cali coloured. Now as i see it.. Chinchilla is a form of Black/Brown gene.. either BB or Bb... the...

So one of my does only had 1 kit. He's about a week old now (I'm guessing since i completely missed finding him for days and by the time i did find him he was already sprouting fur) So I'm wondering if i should maybe move a kit or two over to his nest because i know kits use each other to keep...

went out to do my morning bunny chores this morning and what do i find? FUR FUR! everywhere! The doe i didn't think took pulled a small handful of fur outside of her nest box and made a nest by the cage door. So i gave her more nesting materials, thinking that she just didnt have enough.. and...

Ok so i cleaned out cages today, air dried them and then placed the nest boxes in and of coarse gave alot of nesting materials. put both of my "pregnant" does back into their cages and watched. One started to nest right away, pushing, stamping, moving straw all around in the box, the way she...

I purchased 2 new does this week! Brought them home yesterday! I bought a 2 year old Californian/Flemish cross doe who had a litter of 12 and raised them all really well. She's sweet as pie and pretty mellow. She has the Cali colouring! and she was bred before i took her home to an Agouti...

I don't have any.. trying hard to make some before my first 2 does kindle (March 31st-April 4th... I'm giving leeway of a day or so in each direction) oh my gosh I'm so antsy! My does don't look to fat though.... Ugh.. i hate the waiting game! I gotta make nest boxes... how wide should they be?

I'm assuming i'm just doing it wrong.. but i palpated one of my does who i bred on Feb 28th-29th.. she is 19-20 days into her pregnancy so i should be able to feel something.. but i don't. I had her in my lap, by the scruff (cuz she's skittish) and tried to feel around under her. NOTHING...

what looks to be a Broken Blue buck to a Blue Otter Doe? I'm thinking Broken Blue,Broken Black... Blue Otter as well as Black otter? would Solid Blue be in there too?

So i have a trio of what i was told was NZ/Flem crosses. All three are chin coloured. One does has longer hair.. as if she's trying to shed her winter coat.. its just odd. The other doe looks exactly like the buck. I was told that these rabbits come from the same sire (possibly does as well.. i...

well they aren't exactly "boxes" persay... rather a wall at the back of the cage. This is who the cage set up came. just a piece of wood that fits into a slot about 10 inches from the back wall of the cage. now my cages are all wood. I'll try and get photos tonight (or maybe a video and...

no other way to describe things honestly.. both of the does i received in trade are huge brats with a bad side! They grunt, thump, try to bite anytime any one is any where near their cage. they are for meat production so temperment isn't as high on my list as it would be if i was raising for...
