It's been quiet around here, so let's have ourselves a little nest-along fun! Or at least maybe share some of our 2019 litters? I have 2 does due the first week of February, and of course I'll post photos as soon as they hit the ground (nest box?)! Let's see what buns are in the collective...

Sorry for the terrible pun! (or am I?) :lol: So my husband recently suggested that I start an aquarium again… I really enjoyed the fantail goldfish I had back in South Carolina, and I’ve been wanting to set up a planted tank for a while. I never bothered with plants when I had the fantails...

Woohoo! We have 2 (maybe 3? :?) does due at the end of the week, and we're breeding 3 more this week! I'm really glad we didn't breed all through the summer here, it was just too hot... but I missed the little popples! :oops: DH just got 2 more stackers of 3 cages each for me (6 total holes)...

I finally snapped some pictures of our mamas and their babies on Friday, but due to a busy weekend I haven't had time to post. A little background: We didn’t initially plan on breeding past April. However, we had a doe that was finally old enough to breed and I was admittedly a bit impatient...

Ok, I am in some need of advice. :( A few days ago I noticed one of our does has a small hardened mass under/around one of her nipples. Her last litter was weaned over the course of two weeks, and over three weeks ago (they are now 14 weeks old). When we trimmed her nails last week, this mass...

Hi everyone! :D I know I was anxious to get a name for our rabbitry, but I am so grateful for everyone that told me the right name would come... because it finally did!!! :P :lol: (After several months of anxiety because we had the rabbits, but no name to sell them under!) I am pleased to...

Good morning! One of our girls had kits last night (see the latest update in my Popple Watch thread: http://rabbittalk.com/post323136.html#p323136), and not a single popple looks alike! We got a whole range of colors in this batch. So now I have a color question regarding our rex babies. Jane...

Hey guys! :) I figured it'd be easier for me to track this year's new litters all in one post that I can keep updating, so there will be multiple litters shared on this thread. I’ll update with each new litter. Judy had her first litter (of the new year) yesterday, on February 12, 2018! A...

Hey guys! :) As the title suggests, today was the very first time I did a rabbit processing day all by myself! Everything went as well as I could've asked for, as far as the kills go. It was over very quickly, and (I think) relatively painless for the rabbits. Now I've got two good-looking...

I need help deciding on a rabbitry name, folks. I kept telling myself I’d find something on my own, and it wouldn’t take forever, but here I am. :oops: With our rabbitry slowly explanding (picking up our first buck on Saturday), I’m feeling the pressure to find a proper name soon! I can’t put...

We have finally begun what my family sees as the “trial by fire” of rabbit keeping! Last weekend I picked up two absolutely gorgeous Rex does from a breeder friend of mine. One’s a castor, the other is opal. I decided early on that those were the colors I’d aim for in my barn, and my friend was...

Ok guys, I did a thing! Well, I suppose we did a thing, because DH really did most of the back-and-forth and handling things as they came up. We bought our very first house, ever! :in_love: We’re both absolutely over-the-moon-excited right now, and we will be moving in a full week earlier than...

So who’s going to the show this Saturday in Santee, CA? Any takers? I’m planning on going just to see all the gorgeous buns, but it’d be cool to meet some more Rabbittalkers if anyone’s planning on going. I think I remember SixGun mentioning the Santee show a while back ;) Also, if anyone else...

Hi everyone :D So I've been digging up as much information about the 93rd ARBA Convention and Show as I can. One of the reasons I'm so excited for it this year is that this is one of the closest shows to where I live, and I'd really really really like to go! :lol: Date: October 9-12, 2016...

How would one write out the complete genetic code (in regards to color, gosh that would be a long string otherwise!) for a rabbit, assuming one had tested and confirmed each set of alleles? Does each locus get "mentioned", or do you leave out something the rabbit doesn't have (like Vienna...
