I am in serious need of assistance, my kits are getting diarrhea at about 2-3 weeks old and passing away in a matter of days. All the adults are healthy, and it hasn't affected every litter that I have had, but over the past year months, I've had about four litters pass away from the symptoms...

I have been trying to streamline my rabbitry in a lot of ways, but one of them is trying to make sure I am feeding my Minis just the right amount of food. I have been doing quite a bit of research and have not found enough good resources that provide a general estimate for oz of food to feed per...

I have a Mini Lop doe that is 35 days into her pregnancy. She built a beautiful nest on day 27, but no kits as of yet. However she is definitely pregnant as I can see baby bunny kicks in her stomach and all her behavior points toward it (Not my first litter with this doe.) I am seriously...

Just had a gorgeous litter of Mini Lops from a new doe. Very happy with her and how they are turning out, but I need to know what colors the kits are--I have not experienced these color before, and am getting very confused! Dam is a Chocolate Chestnut agouti from two black chestnut agouti, but...

I believe one of my Mini Lop bucks is developing glaucoma. He can still see, but his eyelid is becoming inflamed and is beginning to get a white cast over his iris, plus his eyes have become runny. I've done some research, and I can't find any specific cures. I've also heard glaucoma is...

So I have a junior doe, about 18 weeks old, who just suddenly can't seem to move her back legs any more. I checked her spine for a spinal injury, but I don't get a reaction when I feel her spine. She seems to be able to drag herself around and reacts a little bit when I feel her legs and tail...

Just as the title suggests, I have buyer interested in a baby Mini Lops. This is what they asked me, "How is the bunny with kids I have three little ones 5, 8and 10 years. The kids will constantly want to hold and snuggle with it." How would you respond? Bunnies and young kids are a touchy...

So that I don't hijack the LGD post, here is a continuation of my behavioral question. So generally his version of threatening is correct--unknown people walking by our house, threatening animals. What I want to teach him is to trust that an unknown person I introduce is okay and should be...

Just had a litter of pet-quality Mini Lops, and need some help with the colors! The dam is Broken Chestnut agouti and has a genotype of AaBbC_D_Ee. The sire is some crazy type of magpie. Posted about him a couple months ago but still don't know what he is. (Will post some pictures of him as...

I am wanting to show Mini Lops and I have this beautiful buck that I just need to tattoo before I show. What brands types do y'all recommend? Do you prefer the clamps or the pens? What are the pros and cons of the two? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I am starting to sell my rabbit manure and wondered what the difference between dried verses non-dried? How do you dry it? Is it just sun dried? Also, how much more do you charge for dried? Sorry for all these Qs! I am not much of a garden person myself and I really don't know...

One of my bucks seems to have a runny eye. No sniffling or snot, so don't think it is snuffles. I have been treating it with vetericyn and I have also been adding apple cider vinegar to his water and made sure to quarantine him from the other bunnies. Any other care or medicine recommendations...

Hi Everyone, After studying Rabbit color genetics I want to dive into dog color genetics. Anyone have any good websites or other sources for a beginner? Thanks!

This isn't something I need help for so maybe I should have posted under random rabbit ramblings. Either way, I saw two of my does kindle today. It was the first time I have witnessed bunnies being born and it was just so amazing and beautiful! I had such a hard time leaving them alone and not...

I am having a really hard time locating Pedigreed Show quality Mini Lops in my area. Pretty much all I can find is non-pedigreed Mini Lops that are wrong in every respect. :x :lol: Anyone know of any breeders in the NC/SC/TN/GA area that have good stock? Thanks in advance!

One of my customers just had her bunny die unexpectedly, with the following symptoms: "His symptoms were runny eye, crusted nose, struggling to breathe really shallow and slow, poopy butt (just balls of regular poo sticking to his fur down there) which is NOT like him as he is always cleaning...

I was told that this buck was a Lilac Magpie. I don't know very much about magpies, so I just want to get a second opinion. :D I have included pictures of his Sire and Dam (not my pictures, the seller sent them to me) and I have pictures as a kit. (he is the one on the right)

So I have been wanting to try my hand at gardening, which I have never really done before, and I thought I would start with some potted herbs for my rabbits and for cooking. :D What would be y'alls recommendations for a first timer? And what are the best herbs with medicinal and/or health...

Hi Everyone! My recent Mini Lop litter is doing well, but I have noticed a few of my kits have crooked ears. (Pictures below) I don't remember seeing this before. Is it normal?

Sadly, I think the dreaded disease might have struck my rabbitry. I noticed that my best buck's nose had some clear discharge a few days ago. Now both bucks seem to have clear discharge, though I haven't heard any sneezing/wheezing/etc. All my does are out of range (over 4 feet away) so now I...
