    Palpating, Day 31

    My Silver Fox doe is on day 31. By now she usually has a nest made and/or has kindled. She hasn't started nesting. She has been eating less for a week or so. At this point I am second guessing my palpating from day 10/11 when I was sure I felt grape sized babes. Now when I palpate I am having...

    Silver Fox Blue and Black question

    I have a black doe that carries blue. If I breed her with a blue buck, will I get more blues than if I bred her with a Black Buck that carried blue?

    Bred 2 rabbits and second delivered first?

    So I made a mistake. I did not keep track of the days I bred my 2 white new zealands. Super upset with myself. Anyway, I bred them a week apart. The doe I bred a week later just had her litter yesterday. I am 90% positive my other doe is pregnant. Why? She is as fat as a heffer and I really...

    New Zealand color mixes

    I have NZ whites. I want to get a second buck and was thinking of getting a different color. What would I get if I mixed a NZW with a red, blue or any recognized NZ color? Trying to keep within standard. Would I also get some NZWs or would they all be some kind of color?

    Neverending ear mites in one rabbit

    We have a nzw doe that has had ear mites for a long time. We spray olive oil with essential oils in her ear and it clears up the crust everytime after a day or two. But then without fail it returns. We treat for a few days after the crust is gone just to be sure. We use only natural products on...

    Would this rabbit carry the blue gene?

    I got 7 blacks and 1 blue from this litter. Would it be correct to say these rabbits will carry blue?

    Day old kit cool to touch...

    NZW doe gave birth to 10 babies. One has had a large poop stuck to him hours after birth and again this morning. He is cool to the touch and skinny/wrinkly. When I removed poop this morning, he had a large amount of waste pour out shortly after. He seems to be holding his head high. Any tips...

    Advice on which kits to keep?

    We have 8 Silver Fox kits. We are going to keep some for breeding and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what to look for. For instance, we have one that is silvering already, while the others are not and another with a white spot on it's head. Is there any red flags or great...

    Doe miscarried. Why? - Graphic picture

    I have a 2 year old NZW doe that was at least 1 week pregnant. She looked clearly distressed this morning and didn't touch her breakfast (VERY not normal for her, she loves to dive right in.) She even grunted at me a few times. I knew something was wrong. Came back to check on her an hour later...
