For those who raise dwarf rabbits (e.g., Netherland Dwarfs), approximately what percent of offspring end up being faders? Just a rough estimate from your experience would be greatly appreciated. Please, don't include peanuts in the estimate. I'm thinking more of those that suddenly die...

My tiny Netherland Dwarfs are sometimes tough for me to figure out. Any help with the sex of these 7 week old kits would be greatly appreciated.

This is a 7 week old Netherland Dwarf kit. The genital area looks tubular (male?), but the vent is a slit (female?).. Would love help. Thanks!

Curious about the colors of #2 and #3. All 5 are siblings. Dam is a Blue (aaB_C_ddEe), and sire is Fawn (AabbC_ddee). . No idea if dam carries b... The black kit in the bottom corner is NOT related, but added to show relative difference to #1s color. . Wondering if #2 is lilac and #3 is...

My Netherland Dwarf is on day 33 of pregnancy, and quite plump. She seems to be very pregnant. Not sure if its too late to hope for a healthy litter, but I would like to ensure my doe is safe. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Its time to sex the 7 week old kits, and I've been taught if you press ever-so-gently just under the genital area, the formation of the sex-based genitals will emerge (taco shape for female, protruding burrito shape for males). This usually works, but once in a while the area looks slightly...

Help with this color. Dam is aa B _ cch_ Dd E_ and sire is A_ B_ C_ dd ee (possibly bb). Thanks. This is an update because I had posted when the kits had tan ticking (at about 3 weeks), but now (at almost 8 weeks), there is no tan ticking, and the fur color is pretty smooth in color. Belly is...

I thought these kits were blue, but they have tan in their coat. Would love help on the color. Dam is aa B _ cch_ Dd E_ and sire is A_ B_ C_ dd ee (possibly bb). Thanks.

I'm getting ready to do some preventatives for my herd. I have used Safeguard paste in the past. I am wondering if there is a cheaper, but just as effective, preventative for e.cuniculi. I don't have any with it where I need to treat, but as I am going to be introducing some new rabbits (in...

I am looking for a Lilac Himi Netherland Dwarf or a Lilac Pointed small breed (Holland Lop, etc.) rabbit. Genotype = aa bb ch ch dd ee. Please, email me if you have one available for sale. Thank you.

One of our rabbits only has soft poops, like a bunch of grapes (Cecotropes). I know its normal to have a few, but this is ALL the poops, ALL the time. No diarrhea. Any thoughts on an initial rule out? The random, single poops are from a different rabbit. Thanks.

I have a rabbit that is very healthy, and its poops all seem to be normal, no signs on diarrhea in the cage, but I just noticed that its bottom has is very poopy... thick. All my rabbits have been treated recently for their yearly preventatives... Revolution for mites, etc, Safeguard, for worms...

I have a broken black Netherland Dwarf buck, and I'd like to breed him to have more brokens. I don't have a broken doe, and I can't seem to find any quality broken ND does anywhere near me. What other color or variety should I consider to get more brokens? Thanks.

I don't have much room in my rabbitry, and have to move unwanted kits out as soon as possible. I'm a newbie and have been told that there are some DQs that are obvious at an earlier time? I would love to know what DQs, if any, folks look for when a kit is only 4 weeks old. Thanks.

Hello, We are looking for bulk organic rabbit pellets for our rabbitry, and possible for resale. All the mills I could find are on the West coast... freight is very expensive. We are in Massachusetts. Can anyone tell me of any mills closer to MA that produces organic rabbit feed? All the...

Can you breed an orange to a chestnut in order to improve type... then eventually breed back to orange to produce oranges?

Hi. I am trying to decide which kits to keep from my first real set of kits. I tried my best to pose them, and I know often you have to let them grow out, but I can't keep them all. Any help in terms of pointing out ones that look to have potential would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.. Here...

My Netherland Dwarf weighs 2lb, 14 oz. Would that be a false dwarf. I couldn't find anything on the average True Dwarf weight and average False Dwarf weight. Thanks.

Hi, I am looking to purchase 50mg/mL Doxycycline Hydrochloride for my Netherland Dwarfs. Its a liquid. Does anyone know the dosage for a rabbit for suspected Pasteurella. The bottle describes the dosage for cats and for birds, but not for rabbits, although it says it can be used for rabbits...

I bred my doe weeks ago, and we put out nest boxes yesterday, only because we were leaving for an overnight out of town and didn't have time to look up all the breeding dates.... so we just put nest boxes in all the does' cages. Anyhow, one doe made a nest and pulled fur, but as I mentioned...
