Buck is 11 months, very healthy and happy, it's been winter so I know it's not heat sterility. The 2 does I'm not sure of their ages, but I suspect their getting old. 1 doe has been bred 3 times to the buck to no avail, the other doe had a successful litter (8 kits) from him once, but her second...

Found one of the kits (4 weeks old) lying motionless on cage, at first I thought it was dead buy it's still breathing. One eye is a little goopy, and it'll twitch if I pet it, but it won't sit up or move at all. I can only get it to eat by syringes, but it laps it up and acts like it wants to...

So impressed by my rabbits I had to share with other rabbit people, since there are none others in my town. The temperature here in Montana dropped from 5 to 25 below 0 overnight, I went out expecting my newest batch of babies to be frozen. bit of trouble with this batch, their mom got spooked...

I got 3 meat mutts from someone who's been doing meat rabbits for awhile now, but I'm a little concerned about their sizes. The does I have are 4 and 5 months old, respectively, but I don't think they weigh much more than 5 pounds. They told me the younger one is a new zealand, but she's a...

It was breeding day today, and my young bucks turn to pop his man cherry. We put an older doe in with him, amd she was quite ready, kept humping his face and chasing him around. He did cover her 3 times, but he didn't quite fall off, just slumped over a little bit. After that she continued to...

So got this rabbit and the previous owner was unsure if they were bred or not, we palpated her 2 weeks after we got her, and didn't find anything, so we decided to breed her again. Well oops, turned out she was pregnant, amd found 1 dead kit in the cage this morning. Let's say I learned a...

I'm trying to sprout barley seed for my rabbits, and I keep running into a problem, the seeds start to sprout, and then after a week has gone by only a few seeds grew grass and the rest get moldy. I even soaked them in a bleach solution first. I'm wondering if maybe the drain holes are too...

New to raising rabbits, and we're in the process of streamlining everything, but does anyone have a solution for disposing of their waste without it reeking up my yard with urine smell? As of right now, their waste is funneled into a bin in their hutch in the shed, and once a week I dump in...

We recently aquired a doe from this lady who said "she might be pregnant " but she didn't know what date her buck had bred her, as they were living colony style. We just palated her and the jelly balls were approximately an inch long, and one of them kicked us. I figure this means she's pretty...

Is it normal for rabbits to waste a lot of hay? I'm new to raising rabbits but it seems like I'll fill their hay mangers only to come in a few hours later and find about 1/3 of it on the floor under their cages. Is this normal, or is it a problem with my hay mangers not holding it properly...

We have a proven 1 year old silverfox buck that we just got, and I went in to clean the hutch today and realized that he's managed to spray pee all over the walls around his cage and onto my Californian does face. I put a barrier between his cage and the does cage so at least he doesn't spray...

Just got some proven breeders for our operation, but two of them won't eat the hay I give them, they only seem to want the pellets, any advice?

Just scored a number of wooden cages and nest boxes from someone getting rid of their meat rabbit operation. They're in good shape but pretty dirty, so here's my question. What's a good cleaner/disinfectant that won't be harmful to the rabbits?

One of the new does I got has hair missing and scabbing around her neck, no idea if it was a dog at her previous owners home or what, but does anyone know if it's safe to use peroxide and antibiotic ointment on rabbits? The lady I got her from had been letting them run around in her yard and...
