This morning, I found one of my light weight Sr. NZ bucks lying cold with his back up against a wall of his cage. I am estimating he's somewere around 3 yrs old. Was fine yesterday, but found him around 10am still somewhat warm in 35F temps. No unusual discharge, urine was clean, healthy eyes...

These two rabbits are meat mutts, believed to be siblings. We think they are Flemish/Chin and a little NZ. They were raised in a colony setting, so we don't know for sure. Any guesses? Asking for two 4H kids so they know for showmanship. First three are the buck, and next three are the doe. Thx...

Hello, I am a 4H rabbit leader. Every year as a part of our project presentation, the 4H kids decorate the livestock barn in relation to the Fair's theme. This year's theme is: MeMOOies In The Making (dumb I know, but we have to work with it 😜). I am stumped about what we are going to do for our...

Hi, returning member here. I had a 1st time mom loose all of her kits this morning. I do not have any other does bred or kindling any time soon. This was an accidental breeding because of an escape. Do I need to be concerned about her health if she has no kits to nurse (like mastitis)? Sorry, I...

Hi, returning member here. Yesterday I went to go get hay for my animals (both large and small). The supplier is a local hay, grain, and beef bussiness. Anyway, when I was there, I couldn't help noticing that they had "hay pellets" for all stock. I have never seen this before! (FYI, I am a North...

Hi. My rabbit all of the sudden had a big abscess just show up. It was really putting a lot of pressure on his sinuses. He was fine this morning and afternoon. When my sister went out to feed this evening, she first thought he was dead; he was to the point where he was not responsive, so I had...

Rabbits have aradicular hypsodont teeth (also known as elodent dentition) meaning that they have permanent teeth that continuously grow/erupt, and don't establish anatomical roots. This applies to both their incisor and molar teeth. The growth is held in balance by dental abrasion...

I have 2 really nice NZ bucks (brothers), but I want to keep only one for breeding. I will sell the other. I need help deciding on which is the better one for improving my meat lines. Buck 1 REW: Bigger buck by 1-2 pounds; I think he weighs around 12 lbs (not fat just a big boy). Broader in...

I have some young rabbits I would like to sell, but I don't know what to price them at. They are pedigreed New Zealands, black and broken black. They come from very good lines from a well known rabbitry in our area. Not many breeders sell NZs here in North ID around this time. They all wait to...

Hi, I'm Mags. A while back ago, I bred a pair of my New Zealands and had a litter of 7. We raise for meat and butchered a few kits from that litter late because we had a lot going on in past months. We just never got to them because I've been at school, and Mom would rather have us sell them to...
