As I've stated before, I have a few Cremes that I've been trying to get bred for about a month or two now. I don't know what's going on, maybe I'm doing something wrong. I put the doe with the buck, he tries to mate with her immediately, but she just won't lift. I've sat with them anywhere from...

I just got a new Creme d'Argent doe and the breeder put her tattoo in her RIGHT ear. What does this mean for us? Does that make her unshowable now? I also need to purchase a tattoo kit of my own to do my unmarked rabbits and future kits. They have one at TSC, but I suspect that it is really...

My 7 month old Creme buck seems more than eager to mount lady rabbits, but he never does a "fall-off". last month I put a proven cali cross in with him, she's about 2 years old. He did his thing, but didn't fall or grunt. I tried a couple of times over 2 days, but no falling. If she'd been...

I'm thinking about entering my first show late this month at a county fair. My concern is that I have Creme d'Argents, and at other fairs in the area this year I have seen zero Cremes. Is it worth the entry fee, time, and gas to enter rabbits who will only compete against themselves? At the time...

I think I'm going to make the switch from kibble to raw foods with our dogs. I've read differing points of view on how to feed a rabbit to a dog, and I just want to know how some of you may do it (or, if you sell rabbits to other people as pet food, how they do it) Some folks say they just give...

I bought a Creme doe yesterday, she's about 14 weeks old. Not until I got home and was sitting down (busy day yesterday) did I realize that this doe had been in a hutch with her two brothers when I picked her up. Should I worry about her being pregnant? What health risks might she face being a...

Just thought I would share a little story. This morning I woke up at 4 AM to find our 90lb German Shepherd burrowing under the blankets of the bed, worming his way up between my husband and I. A storm had rolled in and the thunder was too scary for him to handle alone on the floor I guess. He...

Is there any place to read a breed standard other than the ARBA Standards of Perfection book? I want to know what I should be looking for in my Cremes, but I don't want to pay $20 for a book of every breed of rabbit and cavy.

I made this same post over at the Homesteading Today forum, which I know some of you read. So sorry if you're reading it twice ;) anyway I was brushing one of our dogs (a 6 yr old White Shepherd) today and his back is covered in crumbly brown/black scabs. It looks like dried blood to me, and...

Is there another name to describe a silvered chestnut agouti? Here's what I'm thinking, if I were to breed the following rabbits: Creme d'Argent buck = A_ B_ C_ D_ ee sisi Champagne d'Argent doe = aa B_ C_ D_ E_ sisi assuming no hidden recessives, the resulting kits would likely all be Aa B_...
