    Tricolour to tricolour should be tri (from experience) but....

    So i've been breeding tricolour holland lops like forever. :) Love the colour and just the fun of them. Normally if I breed tri to tri I get a litter of tri. but this spring I've had dark harlequins popping up in my tri to tri breedings and I'm finding it very curious. Out of a buck who...

    Studies on mortality in Easter Pets (bunnies/chicks)

    So a meme is going around saying that 95% of easter bunnies/chicks die before their first birthday. I asked a poster about studies that state this. Her basic response was Google it, it's true. I've googled. I can find NOTHING specifically about easter rabbit or chick mortality. I can't even...

    Another unexpected

    My holland lops are predominately tricolour/chestnut based with a smattering of Chocolate. I used to have tort running through a bit but gradually winnowed those out as smutty fawns/tricolours was NOT what I wanted to have running around. This litter has surprised me a bit. Momma zesty is out...

    A tort was unexpected

    So I'm not big on genetics and have mostly learned what to expect in any given litter based on observations over the past 20 some years of breeding rabbits. So when I bred Gem to Bradley I expected broken black... with the distant possibility of solid black. Gem is a pointed white dwarf. Her...

    RVHD2

    So it's been in different parts of the states for a while, and in BC and Alberta, and now in SW Ontario. Those of us in rabbit clubs in Ontario have been somewhat frustrated by rescues continuing (in the affected area radius) continuing to sell rabbits and do meet and greets. We are equally...

    Home use Pellet Mills

    with the rising costs of pellets, I've been thinking about making my own pellets. my feed mill working hubster is convinced we could make our own pellets cheaper than buying ready made feed. Has anyone sussed out a NON-China source for a home use pellet mill?

    RVHD2 ...the threat

    Just curious as to how others are working through the threat of RVHD2. Living here in Ontario with Covid shutting down the border I'm not too worried yet. Knowing it's already in South Dakota has me thinking it'll be here by next fall at the latest... depending of course, on when the borders...

    Thinking outloud, wanting feedback

    Okay, so health in my rabbits is a big deal to me. I have for the most part successfully gotten rid of nestbox eye, odd digestive issues, stupidity, head tilt, and a seasonal losses in kits. WHAT I can't figure out is the seasonal loss of does with kits 10-14 days old. Seasonal loss... when...

    Apparently I am out of line

    So pet person contacted me "desperately searching for a pet bunny". Asked me tons of questions... I"m cool with that. Then she starts asking for a video, would I do a video chat? Wants me to do very specific things with a bunny to prove it is healthy and extremely friendly. I say no. I can...

    Hand-raised

    What exactly does that mean? , I take it as bottle fed and/or raised in house away from mom. But I'm not sure if that is what others mean.

    enlarged kidneys

    Okay, so I had this young rabbit, a daughter off a mother/son breeding. She was a picky eater, but otherwise seemed fine. She wasn't picking up so I culled her. Teeth were fine, digestive system emptier then normal but otherwise appeared normal. but her kidneys were significantly larger than...
