After one doe lost her whole litter, we needed a win. Thankfully our little doe, Peach, had a successful first litter last week! 6 perfectly plump little ones, and she's taking great care of them! Hooray!

We've been using Purina rabbit complete for our rabbits because that's what they were fed when we bought them and we've just continued. Has anyone had issues with it? I don't know that it's causing our issues, but wondering because we've seen people talk about purina's chicken feed causing...

I've read about losing a whole litter, but when it happens to you the first time it feels devastating! I don't know what happened. This mama has had two successful kindlings and been great. I went out for evening feeding and saw she had pulled hair so I thought she would throw her kits tonight...

Alright I have read through tons of posts, old and new, about things to try with difficult breeders. Isn't it supposed to be easy to breed rabbits? Isn't there a saying, "multiply like rabbits?" Sigh. So we are still new to this, we got our first rabbits in July. We started with 2 does and a...

Ok I need help again. 🤦🏼‍♀️ One of my buns has this large, bleeding lump on his hind foot. I'm assuming it got a cut and infected before we knew about the cut. How do I treat this? I've separated him from the rest of the litter while they are out grazing since he's gotten blood on their backs...

This is our first time with litters so I feel like I've been asking lots of questions. Our litters are about 8 weeks. There's a group of 9 and a group of 6. The 6 are bigger because the other Mama was new and her kits were underfed at the beginning. The biggest ones are barely over 3 pounds. We...

Our newest litter is two and a half weeks old. Their eyes are open and they are all seeming to be really healthy. This one poor baby has an eye that isn't opening all the way. It seemed a bit crusty so I put a warm, wet cloth on it's eye for a bit and tried to get it to open. It still wouldn't...

We have 6 week old NZ for sale. Pure bred but do not have papers. They have just weaned so are ready to go anytime. We are in Ohio near Dayton

This is our first time for everything. We received 2 does already pregnant. The man we bought them from put them in a couple days after breeding and they wouldn't lift for the buck so he felt confident they were both pregnant. I'm sure being moved to a new place was stressful for them but...

One of my does is in her first pregnancy. She's pretty young. She's eating fine but she's not drinking as much as the other rabbits. It's not been particularly hot here this week but I thought she should be drinking more. Should we be concerned?

We have our first rabbits (NZREW) and are very excited to start our journey. The man we bought our buns from bred our does for us before bringing them home. One is her first pregnancy. My husband has emphasized that we have to be very careful to not stress out the girls so they won't miscarry. I...

My hubby has been doing a lot of reading about how bowls get so messy and "no drip" bottles do end up dripping and making messes. He found a cool product from RentACoop that has a shallow metal bowl that the water bottle drips into. But they are out of stock. Sigh. They have a similar one that...

Hello fellow bunny fans! My husband and I are just starting our rabbit journey. Looking to be more self-sufficient and so adding meat rabbits to our lifestyle. I look forward to sharing and learning here!
