I need some help sexing this litter. I lost a little confidence after mis-sexing a kit from my last litter (I said was male and the vet says is female). They are six week old Holland lops. Sorry for the video...I had a child photographer 😅. TIA!

I have a litter that seems a bit muddled and I need help identifying. Dad is seal buck and mom is broken chestnut. I was gone for a week, and what I thought were clear cut harlequin, magpie, and blue self all look more shaded. The blue has white ticking coming in at her pints on on her back...

Warning! Graphic photo. If I had a vet I could take her to I would. I am hoping for some emergency advice from anyone who has dealt with prolapse after kindling. My doe kindling several babies and is now laying outside the nest with a huge lump of tissue coming out of her vent and blood. I...

I have a brood doe I am planning to retire after her next litter. How long do I need to wait before she is spayed?

I posted this on the pet forum too, hoping to get some good advice for my buyer ... I had a buyer reach out to me yesterday asking advice on her bunny becoming very aggressive, lunging and biting, to the point their daughter is now afraid of the bunny. I've never had any issues like this so I...

I have a dilemma and I need some advice. I'll be the first to admit I jumped into breeding without a lot of knowledge about genetics, SOP, etc. I decided I wanted to start a Vienna program, purchased a proven doe and a proven buck, and purchased both pedigrees from two different breeders in a...

Hi friends! I have a litter that I need a bit of help coloring. Dad is a VM seal with magpie/harlequin, chin, and frosty in his pedigree, (he's aaBbcchlcchlDdEej). Mom is a broken chestnut and I don't know her pedigree but she had orange, chestnut, black and black tort litter mates. I think I...

If you feed pellets, I'm curious what brand/supplier you use and your method for feeding. we are located in Nevada in the US. I haven't found a pellet that I love and that my rabbits also love. I currently feed Modesto milling organic feed and have mixed in oxbow garden select. Unless they are...

My dwarf lop gave birth to 8 kits on Thursday, and from what I have read, it seems like that is unusual for true dwarfs? This is my first litter with her. Her first litter she had five and I understand she did well with them, but she had just weaned them when I bought her and she was seemed...

I'm JUST getting into rabbit genetics and very infantile in my understanding, but I'm wondering if there is a way to guess what color my rabbits' parents were. The litter they came from had 2 blacks, 1 orange, 2 broken chestnuts, 1 black torte (I think), and a solid chestnut. I have the solid...

I'm trying to breed a very small buck (less than 2 lbs) with my does that are closer to 4 lbs and having a hard time of it. I think he's struggling trying to exert any kind of dominance and getting tired rather quickly because the does are not receptive. Wondering if this is a size issue or if...

I have a doe that loves to dig and it's starting to cause problems with my set up. She hates being caged, so that's not an option for her, so she free roams the back yard during the day with another doe, a neutered buck and their grow outs (all leaving in the next 10-14 days). They are in an...

Like some others, we started our rabbitry the wrong way, with not a lot of research or knowledge about rabbits. I saw the set up of the farm we bought ours from and of course the cute baby bunnies, and thought "how hard can it be?" Well, fast forward to now and several litters which have all...

Wondering what your thoughts are on the breed of this rabbit. We have two of her litter mates, both who look a lot more standard Holland lop, though not the swishy face kind, but she has more upright ears, and she is a little bigger than her siblings. I was told they were pure bred Holland lops...

Hi! I am buying another female to add to our breeding program for the first time. Our current brood has been together since birth, and I want to avoid any disasters when I introduce them. Any advice or tips on making sure it's a positive transition? She will only be 7 weeks old when I bring her...

Mom is orange and dad is black, are they orange? Couple they possibly be chocolate?

First time bunny mom here. One of my 7 week old dwarf Holland lops seems to have a malformed ear. Anyone seen this before? It looks like it's lopping the wrong way. Also, I'm wondering if he might have ear mites as the skin on the edges of his ear is dry and flaky. I have some ivermectin, but...

Morning all! I have a doe who is about 21-25 days on her second pregnancy (unsure as she was with the buck for a few days). We have a colony set up with access to the whole of our backyard most of the time. Her first pregnancy she made a lovely nest in the upper compartment of her hutch. I have...

Hi all! We bought three Holland lops early this year (2021) from a farm, I'm not sure of their pedigrees. I don't think the seller showed her rabbits. Now we have have two litters of cute, fluffy kits and more on the way that I need to sell. I posted on Craigslist, but it has not been a very...
