Update 2 All 3 died. Sad

I would wager it was disease, possibly one on her end in her rabbitry. Without more information it is hard to tell if she was following proper isolation procedures. If she wasn't careful it is possible a disease her rabbits have was passed on to the rabbit you sold her. That makes more sense...

I know that part, getting them clean. UPDATE The runt of the 3 passed. Another one seems to be excreting sticky black stool. 3 times in the past few hours.

Hi there, I am having an issue with 1 day old kits. There are 3 kits, born yesterday 5/18. When I went to check on them this morning, 2 of them had fur/hay stuck to their bottoms. It was mixed with what appears to be urine/feces making a sticky mess that took some effort to remove. While I've...

Doe #2 <br /><br /> -- Mon Jun 04, 2018 11:56 am -- <br /><br /> At this point they are 13 weeks old. Attached are 2 pics from a Cali litter I had at the same time. From this litter the parents are the NZxCali's half brother and mother. At this point my Cali's tend to have well defined...

Hi there I have a color identification question. I have two rabbits that I thought were REW's when they were born. It was a bit of a shock because it was a NZ magpie buck which was chd/c (known) and a NZ/Cali doe which I thought was C/ch. It was her first litter and when I got the all white...

Hi everyone I am having difficulty dealing with splay feet with one of my rabbits. I have a three month old french angora rabbit with splay rear feet. It is probably a genetic issue with this little guy; none of his litter mates have this issue; he wasn't kept on a smooth surface; etc. I could...

Which Chef? Since you're in North Carolina is it Vivian Howard from A Chef's Life?

Sorry to hear you lost both of your rabbits. When you are ready for it, I would suggest asking in another post (or this one) for help in trying to determine the cause of death if it all possible. You sound like you really cared for your rabbits and it would not surprise me if you got another...

I go with leaving most of the kits in the original cage and moving the doe and a few kits (2-4) into a separate cage. Then I move the kits with the doe back into the original cage over a few days to ease up on the doe's milk production.

Great work TeaTime! If you would like other opinions I personally prefer the first teapot logo in post #3. (The one without the stool.) I don't necessarily mind a rabbit "floating in the air". My two cents is that, in a silhouette form, it takes a few seconds to mentally distinguish the rabbit...

I asked the breeder and he said they were about 4.5-5 lbs at 12 weeks.

Short Story I am looking for a replacement California buck for my meat heard. I found someone online that has a 15 week old buck that weighs about 6 pounds. Dam is 10.75 pounds and Sire is 9.5 pounds. My meat rabbits don't make it past 12 weeks so I don't know if this sounds good, bad, so-so...

Could you please clarify, and put your location in your profile to aide in the advice (stealing MaggieJ's thunder). Did the doe only kindle one kit and it was born DOA; and thus you currently have no kits? Or did she kindle a litter of two or more kits and of that litter there was one kit that...

Bad news, there is no easy fix. It'll probably take a lot of work, effort, scratches, frustration; and even then there isn't a guarantee it'll work. Every animal is different and are product of both nature and nurture. You may have just ended up with one that is inherently skittish or one that...

And to add on to MaggieJ's advice; does will usually feed once or twice a day for just a few minutes. They ignore the nest otherwise. So don't be worried if you don't see them nursing.

As you see it is turning into a conundrum, lol. The magpie and the pink one are throwing everything off. I am going back later this week to pick up some hay from the lady. I can ask some questions. I've only seen one kit with the himilayan markings in person, it was night in a barn and I...

It is any cage you keep the kits in, essentially before they grow to the point when they need their own cage. Typically they are a bit on the larger size; it all depends on the number of kits and the breed. Here is the ARBA info on recommended cage sizes: https://www.arba.net/PDFs/CAW.pdf...

Hi gang. I just had a litter on Sunday. I had bred my harlequin NZ doe to her self black NZ father. This is my first litter with this doe and the buck is owned by the lady I bought the doe from. I got a nice selection of colors but one I was not expecting. I think I have a magpie! Four of...
