My littler of 11 is slowly decreasing. About 4 days ago I went out and two kits were dead. Yesterday I found one more dead. I looked them over and did not see anything external that would have caused the death. What in the world is going on?

She had those babies Friday night /saturday-morning, there was no blood untill this morning (monday) and her behavior today is different then her behavior Saturday and Sunday that was what made me think something is off with this one's situation.

My californian had her first litter on day 28/29. She gave birth to 4 live kits. This morning, day 30 I go out and find her pulling fur. I went to set her morning carrot in her cage and she head butted my hand. I continued my normal morning routine with her anyway and added some fresh grass. She...

I've read feeding chickens certain things makes their eggs have certain flavors. Is this also true with rabbits? I see there is a variety of herbs safe for rabbits if feeding them makes a meat flavor change what have you noticed with which herbs/feed? Thank you.

The mit was to keep him warm while I tried to feed him outside the nest. He was pretty active while he was in it for a little bit. It didn't work he was too far gone. I had to run kids to the dentist and he died in the nest while I was away. I thought keeping him warm and the smell of his nest...

This rabbit was born the past Wednesday, 5 days old now. I have never seen him with a full tummy and I've watched him turn into a skeleton. I decide this morning when I did my checks to at least try to help him out. I held momma and brought him to her there didn't seem to be any stress she...

If I did get a larger breed like a flemish I would want a larger doe to breed with a smaller buck and not a large buck with a small doe right? Or does itnnot matter so much with rabbits? If I made bone broth would flemish them be better for that purpose or the same as any other breed?

I am just curious what others have mixed and ended up with. I intend to use the fur after butcher hopefully (I hear new to tanning doesn't always go so well the first few trys) eventually I'd like some color and variations in pattern to my fur but not at the cost of my meat production. I don't...

I was just curious if anyone was in the central Michigan area. I have a surgery coming up that will put me down for at the very least a week. The man of the house and my older kids should be able to manage my rabbits while I am down but as with any surgery there are risks and this will be my 4th...

I froze wonder bubbles two winters ago. I assumed a wooded area would be important for warmth. The bottom in the wooded area is still wire. Shoot I might be more undecided now then before I posted. I had all wire for my angoras but these meat rabbits don't look like they'd be as warm as angoras...

My photos were just too large I had no issues once resized. As mentioned new to meat rabbits so I was asking because I started thinking maybe people used all wire because of a chewing issue with the breed or something. It wouldn't do much good to house them in a house they would eat. I want them...

I am new to meat rabbits. I use to have english angora which are a whole list of different care needs. These meat rabbits don't seem to need much compared to the angora. I am seeing a lot of wire cages and nest boxes is there a reason this seems to be preferred housing? I am just raising small...
