(Sorry if this is the wrong category, wasn't entirely sure which category this topic should go in.) Due to health issues, I can no longer keep up with the grooming requirements of my angoras, so I'm trying to find new homes for them asap. But I'm extremely attached to these rabbits and it's...

(Wasn't quite sure which category to post this under, so I'm sorry if I chose wrong :oops: ) So, I'm starting a new book and need some help. This time I wanted to really drag myself out of my comfort zone, so this one is going to be a graphic novel in which all the characters are leporids...

I've searched just about every rabbit genetics website I could find and have had no luck tracking these down. Can anyone help me figure out what color these phenotypes are? First: aa B_ cchd_ D_ ee Second: aa B_ cchd_ D_ E_ I should probably specify, the breed in question is mini lops.

About an hour ago, my husband came in from mowing the lawn and he was carrying two baby wild rabbits with him. :o Apparently, he'd almost run them over with the lawn mower and then assumed that they must be lost from their nest, so he brought them to his "bunny crazy wife" to see what I thought...

Yes, this is yet another color genetics question. :oops: :roll: So, I've been thinking about adding a second breed to my rabbitry this fall and for once I'm actually doing all the necessary research ahead of time! *Yay!* I've finally decided on mini lops. The hardest part so far has been...

Okay, I have a doe that I'm planning to breed at the end of January so I can have some juniors to take to the spring shows. Unfortunately, we moved a few months ago and so now all my rabbits are in outdoor hutches under our carport until I save up enough money (and time!) to convert the garage...

Rounded up some of my favorite rabbit-related posts from Facebook and Google+ and thought I'd share them here. Hope you enjoy! And feel free to share some of your favorite posts as well. :D <br /><br /> __________ Sat Aug 13, 2016 7:38 pm __________ <br /><br /> ...and a few more. :D

I've seen quite a few harlequin and magpie English Angoras lately, but almost never see those colors in French Angora. After talking to a few other FA breeders, I became really interested in the idea of introducing harli colors into my FA lines -- possibly even getting harli FAs recognized by...

Okay, I've never worked with broken colored rabbits before, so I have two quick questions. First, the Angora SOP states regarding brokens: So, I'm a bit confused. Would the doe in the two pictures below be disqualified or simply faulted? Second question, would incorrect markings on a...

(Sorry, didn't know where to post this thread.) Found an ad online for a beautiful FA doe in Miamisburg, Ohio, but can't get out that way anytime before fall. So I'm wondering if maybe anyone is traveling from that area and would be passing through Eastern Kansas or Missouri (or anywhere...

Okay, I'm asking this question for my sister. She doesn't raise rabbits but has owned a pet one for the last four or five years, and now she's concerned about his health. My sister contacted me a few days ago saying that her rabbit has been "acting strangely" and she's worried he might be...

Picked up a new doe on Monday and at first she seemed to be settling in very nicely. But when I was cleaning her dropping pan yesterday (Wednesday) I noticed that there were a few large, very loose droppings. :o The rest of the droppings were fine and she seemed perfectly healthy, but I decided...

Okay, so half the websites I read tell me that red is A_B_C_D_eeww with high rufus, (or A_bbC_D_eeww for chocolate based), Fawn is A_B_C_D_eeww / AbbC_D_eeww without high rufus, and cream is the dilute version A_B_C_ddeeww (or chocolate based A_bbC_ddeeww). But then other websites I read state...

I wanted to start showing some of my rabbits this year, and after doing research online I have decided that it will be much easier on my budget to make my own show cages. Does anyone know if there are regulations on how big or small the cages have to be? What is an average size for show cages? I...

I was looking for a new doe to add to my breeding program and had a local breeder offer me a good price on a nice senior doe. But she's already four years old and I had someone tell me that does shouldn't be bred after three years. I only want one litter from her and then I plan on retiring her...

So, I'm just getting started with my French Angora breeding program and have a question about color genetics. I have a very beautiful chestnut Agouti buck whose genetic code is (as far as I know): AaBbC?D?Ee and he's definitely carrying a wideband gene. He possibly has a dilute gene in the D...
