So I recently came up with the idea of trying to work with the genetics and create a new color within a breed. I realized that because French, English, and Mini Lops all share a color guide and are shown in Solid Pattern and Broken Pattern there are some colors that you don't see or even don't...

Good Morning Y'all! So I started several projects recently. And I need ideas :) First, I tanned my first rabbit skins. I used the basic alum and salt method. I did 6 16 week olds, an old doe, and 2 old bucks. They turned out pretty good for me having no idea what I was doing. I'm still...

Okay. So I hate to be the person who only posts when a rabbit is having problems "down there" :oops: But I've got a buck with swollen testicles now. He's not acting like he's in pain but it does not look right. I bred him to one doe 11 days ago and didn't bother to flip him over since. Now I'm...

This morning it's unusually warm, all the rabbits think it's spring and are ready to breed. So I decided to do my planned breedings 2 days early. One was a senior pair of Dutch that have had 4 litters together so far. They are used to each other and usually the buck is eager and the doe is...

So I have 4 week old litter of Beveren babies. 1 buck and 3 does. The runt is a doe and has bad pinched hindquarters. She will be culled anyway, but I was going to wait so we could get a meal out of her. Today I noticed she feels really skinny, I flipped her to make sure there are no signs of...

So I have two Beveren does that are sisters. I have been trying to breed both of them and one had 2 miscarriages around 20 days. I never saw any thing excpet I felt babies for sure at 15 days. She seemed a little interested on nesting at 20 days. And I felt no kits at 28 days. Her sister though...

This rabbits mom is broken red, her dad is BEW. She looked red when she was a baby. But now I want to call her "Red Agouti". Is this just a result of improper color combinations? Or is there a name for this?

So my "Broken" Red New Zealand cross doe who actually has 2 copies of the broken gene has a litter of 7. Her previous litters were broken red and broken gold-tipped black steel. This litter is out of a purebred Champagne D'Argent buck and they are 4 weeks old. I am starting to see silvering and...

I currently have a litter of American bunnies up for deposit. Americans are a large breed (9-12 lbs) and are very sweet and friendly. They are a heritage breed, officially recognized in 1917. And they are endangered. They make great pets, meat rabbits, and show rabbits. Currently still available...

So, I have been thinking hard about Belgian Hares, especially the black tan ones. And I had a few questions about them. 1. Is it true they can't take cold weather? 2. Do they have to have wood floors? Or is there a way to keep them that would not include urine soked wood? Like wire completely...

So I have a broken red doe that I bought for breeding meat rabbits, her previous onwner said she was pure New Zealand. She is definitely not pure because she only weights 7lbs and throws rex furred kits when bred to my Beveren bucks and rex crosses whith out rex fur. But my question is why have...

I found this today and couldn't resist sharing! :D Who can relate?

I have 2 Champagne D'Argent bucks from War Eagle and Crosby lines. One of them is 3 months old, and would make a great pet, show rabbit, or herd buck. He is tattooed and pedigreed. $20 The other buck is 10 months old, and would make a good herd buck. He is proven, tattooed, and pedigreed. He is...

So my brother has a pet Holland/Mini Lop cross. And lately she has had missing fur on both front legs and now one hind leg. It does not look irritated and I'm sure it's not mites of any kind. Is she over grooming herself? If so how can we stop this? Or is her fur just not growing like it should...

Just curious if anyone else here raises rare breeds? Like American, American Chinchilla, Blanc de Hotot, Belgian Hare, Beveren, Creme D'Argent, Silver Fox, Silver, Harlequin, Lilac, or Rhinelander? If so what are the pros and cons of your breed?

So my first Palomino litter is 9 weeks old. I have been feeding them 18 % protein feed because they are my meat pen project and I thought it might help them to grow. They now wiegh about 4lbs each. Their mom weighs 9lbs 8 ozs, and their dad is just under 8 lbs . So half adult weight at 9 weeks...

Just wondering if anyone here is going to the convention in Indianapolis this fall? If so will you be showing? I will be showing Beveren and possibly American.
