    Animal For Sale Maremma x Akbash LGD pair For Rehoming

    These dogs have lived with sheep, rabbits, ducks, and geese from birth in 2015. Their sheep herd has been sold and so they are available in Central California to the right placement. They are both CLIMBERS so their new home MUST gave 7’ NON-CLIMB fence or be on an acreage sufficiently isolated...

    Rex fur genetics

    It's not a question of "more" or "less" with Rex fur. Either the does carries the r gene, or they don't It's just like chocolate, or self, or any other recessive gene. If a Xx doe is bred to an xx buck (over time) you will get 1/2 Xx (dominant) and 1/2 xx recessive If you have several litters...

    Just had 9 kits born

    if you can pull more fur & add more hay and "bury" them in the back it may help

    Which color buck should I use?

    BLACK aaB_C_D_E_ CHIN A_B_chd_D_E_ BLACK OTTER at_B_C_e_ the simplest breeding is otter x black. it will definitely give you otter and, depending on the recessives carried by either parent, you could get self. If there are brown, or dilute genes in both parents you could get chocolate. blue, or...

    Early haystaching

    I have many does who start carrying hay as early as 14 days. That is my sign to give her a nest box and provide her with a supply of hay to make the nest I LOVE this time in rabbit care.

    Chocolate and Blue Rex- Common?

    If you want chocolate or blue, I would stay away from harlequin A_B_C_D_ej_ since chocolate is aabbC_D_E_ and blue is aaB_C_ddE_ REW ____cc____ could carry ANYTHING on those abde genes you won't know unless you know the genetic background Personally, I like to use REW to check for a...

    Can you explain these kits?

    I raise Rex, so I am assuming, from my knowledge of that breed, that a NZ red has A_B_C_D_ee genotype blue genotype is aaB_C_ddE_ perhaps your NZ red buck is not "pure" NZ and may have picked up some recessives Thus, AaB_C_Ddee your "blue" kits may then be aaB_C_ddEe In the next generation...

    Managing Teeth

    Not sure what "managing teeth" means to you. I have kept rabbits for many years, some have lived as long as 5 years. I have had about 2000 rabbits over the years. The only "problem" I ever saw, in all that time was 1 rabbit who had an over jet (the bottom incisors grew over the top incisors) The...

    Chocolate and Blue Rex- Common?

    chocolate is a self, brown, full color dense, full extension rabbit aabbC_D__E_ As you may be able to see, the first 2 alleles are homozygous recessive If you keep track of which of your rabbits produce chocolate, you will know who carries those 2 genes and who can give it to you again Blue...

    What makes tricolor rabbits

    the E locus goes this way E is dominant, and results in full extension (With the A agouti gene) like Castor, Opal. Amber and Lilac agouti ej is recessive to this and if paired with E you may still see it bleed through but it will not be fully expressed ee is the most recessive, and gives red...

    What is the result?

    mostly charlies which I try to avoid, because they seem to have "gut" issues

    What makes tricolor rabbits

    the broken rabbit needs to carry either non-extension, or harlequin

    Is Chocolate tort a rare rabbit color?

    because chocolate tort contains 3 homozygous genes that are recessive, a b e I guess you could say that it's "rare" I have really been grateful to have a litter of 3 different torts show up recently black tort aaB_C_D_ee chocolate tort aabbC_D_ee blue tort (Isabella) aaB_C_ddee they were out...

    I So I notice that it's been a year since I posted this request I was fortunate to find an ad on CL a few months after this post and by driving about 3 hours away I acquired this handsome black buck. It was and interesting coincidence. I had contacted a well known breeder before that time & the...

    Doe not using nest box, soon to kindle

    I feed grass hay in a can/feeder to all my does, so most of my rabbits start "carrying" 7-14 days before they are due. That is my sign to put the box in the cage. Most mommas then jump in, scratch around for a while, and then carry as much hay as they can find into the box. Fur pulling follows...

    Which Software?

    Yes, it is totally on-line. I do download all my pedigrees to a folder on My computer and can print them out if needed I then email to anyone who buys a rabbit from me, if they are not yet on globalpedigree.

    Can rabbits be used as a complete dog diet?

    I have an 8 year old Maremma and 2 of his 5 year old progeny. They are fed exclusively on raw rabbit, with an occasional duck egg and a few table scraps. Dogs are carnivores, so no veggies here. Although ,they could eat them if they wanted since all my garden "waste" goes out into the pasture...
