I have a 3lb, 2 yo buck and a 6lb, 5.5 mo doe and I’ve tried to breed them two times now. The buck has DEFINITELY been mounting and attempting to breed the doe but he can’t quite get to the right spot and I’m suspecting it might be because of the size difference. The doe also isn’t lifting well...

I have been planning out various aspects of my future rabbitry and I’ve gotten to the rabbit barn. I have also realized that I have no experience building things! So I’m going to share my wobbly ideas and hope that someone can add in some recommendations. The plan: Under the deck there is a...

I've been reading about different pellets and I've heard good things about Purina, so I've decided to go in that direction. However it seems like they have four different formulas- complete, show, professional and fibre3. Which is the best for a breeding program and what's the difference between...

I've been on and off with rabbits for the past year or two- I've kept several rabbits, still have my one pet and I took in a pregnant doe recently. (the last of her babies are leaving this week) Soon I'll be moving houses and left with just my pet rabbit and I want to start really sorting out...

So, for more than a year I've been planning to start breeding. Last September I was about to get a doe multiple times, but I ended up not getting one and for this whole time I haven't been able to start breeding as I've been very busy with a big project and some other stuff. Recently I was able...

A few months ago, I got two Holland lops from a nice breeder. They’ve have good weight and health until just about now where my girl’s weight has been declining. Now she’s quite a bit underweight and I’m really worried- I gave her the first dose of ivermectin yesterday, in case she has worms...

Throughout my reading on rabbits I've discovered that there are 3 main "parts" in the rabbit community. The first part being the group of pet rabbit owners who strictly follow the House Rabbit Society guidelines for keeping rabbits- who strongly advocate spaying/neutering, rescuing rabbits...

I'm going to be getting into breeding and showing in a few years, and just now my parents have allowed me to raise a litter of rabbits just for the experience. (the doe and buck would be already bred) I also have lots of time on my hands right now and more than enough supplies. (cages, timothy...

I've been reading a bit about breeding different breeds together (not that I'd like to) and I was wondering what would happen if you bred a large buck to a small doe. I'm not talking about a 2-3 pound difference, something more than that- like a holland lop doe and an english lop buck. I've...

I’m thinking of starting to breed and show rabbits in a few years- maybe 10 or so, as I want to be completely educated about this, and I’m not in a good position to be breeding rabbits currently, still being in school and all. 10 years is a long time, but I want to be committed to this and I...
