    Making a new breed

    It's pretty much the same thing with Dutch. You can have a whole litter of mismarks or get one potential show baby out of 10

    Making a new breed

    So I really want to work on a new rabbit breed that I really do not care if it gets recognized or not. It's more of a fun thing for me. I want to mimic the Hereford cow breed only with rabbits with the bold white face, white feet, and maybe white belly. People were critiquing me saying it was a...

    Week old rabbit kits

    It's normal for them to have false pregnancies. It wasn't stressing her out either. She was being a good mother and practicing her nesting. What were your plans for these super mix breed kits? Food? <br /><br /> -- Mon Jun 11, 2018 10:01 pm -- <br /><br /> I'm wondering if the "Californian"...

    English Angora or English Lop

    I'm personally very drawn to the English Angora myself. I live the lops as well but just because I don't work with now doesn't mean I can never work with them.

    Week old rabbit kits

    I haven't seen it mentioned yet but generally it is a very bad idea to breed such a large breed buck to such a small breed doe. Have you palpated her to make sure there were no stuck kits? I would be concerned if a stuck decaying kit couldn't also be part of why she is acting the way she is...

    Blobby thing?

    It looked like it was a mass of different tissue melded together. A lot of it was tangled up with fur, hay, and shavings. Maybe it was three or four different things that got tangled together? I checked out her vent and it looked normal. Even gave it a good whiff this morning (smelling bunny...

    English Angora or English Lop

    Thank you for your insight! It's nice to have the view point from someone who had both and could point out the flaws in both. Someone else has pointed out that fact about other angoras as well, but I just don't feel as enthusiastic about them as I do for the English verity. Out of the two which...

    Blobby thing?

    How big are placentas usually? I've opened a doe up who was a few days off from giving birth once and I don't remember them being to big. This thing looked like a mass of congealed tissue half the size of a dinner plate

    English Angora or English Lop

    What are your guy's opinions on these two types of rabbits? I really want to get serious about showing and never could with my dutch as I never really had anything worth showing. Both breeds I absolutely adore the looKS of and I have friends who work with both breeds who really want me to work...

    Blobby thing?

    It's odd that she would leave it though, this doe is very tidy and keeps a very clean nest! She even begins the clean up process on doa kits. Do you think the dead fetus kit could have made her feel gross and as such she did not clean up like normal? Kits as still fat and sassy BTW, I think I...

    Blobby thing?

    Thank you! Should I be concerned about any infections or anything? Or just monitor her?

    Blobby thing?

    So I just had a litter born this morning, discovered them shortly after they were born as everyone still had that just freshly born warmth about them. Then I discovered this... underneath them.. I looked at it and poked it then discovered a partially formed dead kit among the mass of...

    Any VM's in the Iowa area?

    I'm looking for a Vienna marked lop rabbit, doesn't have to be purebred but has to be roughly around Holland or smaller mini lop size. The reason for this is because the doe I plan on breeding the rabbit to (meat mutt program) is roughly 6lbs. The doe is vm chestnut with harlequin, chin, and...

    Kits and does and touble

    I also just rebred her mom, so hopefully I can get someone good in that litter. I'll probably hold on to her and her brother to see how they keep growing out. If all else fails I'll probably keep her as a pet since she is so sweet. Can't have to many pets right? :bunnyhop:

    She was actually being a turd and didn't want to pose right on a slippery box. When I flip her over her feet are actually better placed and don't have that pinched looking issue. I actually had a lion head doe that had bad bad pinching and her hindquarters don't feel anything like they had

    Her blaze is uneven, I'll see if i have a baby pic of her face, it would have been perfect too! She had the complete split from back to front only for the right side of her black to have a point where the white sharply cuts into it. Nice solid build and a nice even body band which starts a...

    I don't know what it really is, it's what I called something that plagued a few of my kits not to long ago. They would be fine and then later in the day they will be on their sides just.. limp. Alive but weak and limp. It never affected a whole litter just select individuals who I had to...

    Kits and does and touble

    The one grouchy doe has really warmed up to me otherwise, it's just the pregnancy hormones that make her a little nutty. She was bred maybe two days ago and she is already nesting. X.x; I'm honestly half tempted to give up on dutch for the time being and refocus on Netherlands. It would just...

    Thank you for your honest opinion and I see exactly where you are coming from. I have been planning on getting rid of the aggressive breeding male the day I noticed just how aggressive he is. My other male I have is very chill and relaxed and I LOVE him. He is my show breeder buck too. (Just dq...

    I took this image shortly after they got done nursing, front and center is a foster from a different mother. It's just over 2wKS old at this point and did have a sibling but the sibling ended up being a ftt and I lost it at a few days old despite my best efforts and frequent feeding. Did not...
