    Hershey Did It Again

    Best bunny ever, she is. She delivered litter 3 last week. 14 kits! And talk about color, she tried to cover them all. This girl has been amazing. She first kindled 6, then 11 last round. 100% survival rate and raised them by herself. She pulls enough fur for two litters. I guess technically...

    Labored Breathing

    My Flemish Giant doe is due to kindle on Monday. Yesterday she started having labored breathing. She miscarried two preemie kits today. I am sure she has more, but I can't feel them with her. Not eating much, drinking a little and still labored breathing. This is her second kindle. She was...

    ? Blue Chinchilla ?

    These little butterballs are 3 weeks old. They were quite dark when born and have continued to get lighter. I think they are blue chinchilla, but am really not sure. They come from my black otter doe that I bred to a castor that carries chinchilla. (Yeah, I am learning. No chin next time.) The...

    Kits dying at 3-4 weeks, graphic pictures

    This has been a spring of too many firsts. 40 kits born in March and only 18 left. They have died for various reasons: too cold, too many in a kindle (16), broken neck, legs eaten off one (mouse?), FTT, and now..... I have a mama that doesn't seem to be nursing or cleaning her kits. She has...

    How to treat?

    Hello All, This is a doe that I purchased back in December from a breeder. I have had issues with her about 3 weeks after her arrival when she kindled. She kindled again 9 days ago. 5 fall offs, 3 kits. She lost two of them from the cold but I gave her two from another doe. She is fat, even...

    What Do You Think

    I am so excited. I just purchased 3 beautiful otters. Their fur is amazing and they are great size. I was even more thrilled when I entered their information into my pedigree system and learned that their line contains LOTS of legs. Their great grand Dam has 21 legs. The photos are not that...

    Check your Feed

    Hello Friends, I just want to send out a warning of concern. It seems some companies are changing the ingredients for their pellets. I noticed this in my pellets about two months ago. I had a bag with lots of dried corn kernels in it. Upon further observation, I saw small pieces of corn in the...

    Exhausting, ideas?

    I have two litters of Rex just born Sunday and Monday this week. I was so excited that I would be able to put together some trios for some, new to rabbit, breeders. A quick count Sunday of 8 kits. Hershey has them nearly out of my reach. Monday Henrietta had 6 kits. Yeah, super thrilled. All...

    A Tough Morning

    I woke up at 4:30 AM yesterday and hopped out of bed to go out and check on my rabbits. Lily had kindled late the night before (11:00ish) and all her kits were at the front of her nest box without a strand of fur on them. Thankfully they were all squirmy and together and she is my predictable 31...

    Best Mama

    This is my second litter from my little NZ/Chin doe. Haylee is the sweetest mama I have. She also takes great care of her kits. This has been so beneficial for their growth. I kept a doe from her first litter (after I got her) who is now over 9 pounds at 18 weeks. Haylee was headed to freezer...

    What Color

    I will be the first to admit, I do not understand the coloring of rabbits. I have a litter of bunnies that are a quarter mix of Rex, Chinchilla, Flemish and Harlequin. The babies are all so different. The runt had a G on her side. It was so cool. Unfortunately, she did not survive. She just...

    Help Please

    My rabbit, Lily, just kindled Saturday. 11 kits. It appears she has mastitis. My guess. I have put 4 of the kits with two other mamas. I have massaged her and used a warm cloth on her. What else should I be doing? Any herbs or weeds that can help? Thank you!
