Yeah I’ll probably do that when it gets hot again. I’m thinking of switching to French lops in a couple years to start on meat rabbits. Just sucks cause I don’t Breed for most of the year and these are usually my prime breeding months.

Yes all that was correct. I bought the buck as a trio with him and two does. Both of which had freshly weaned kits with him being the sire when I bought them. I almost bought one of the tricolor babies but didn’t have the funds at the time. Only reason she was selling them is cause she raises...

Well I’m gonna go check him when I get a chance but I’m not sure that it’s one of those problems because he has had babies this year before I got him.

Hey y’all. I haven’t had much luck getting my rabbits bred. I’ve got 3 bucks, one I’m selling because I don’t need his color, a young non proven one I just bought, and then my main buck that I got a few months ago and I’ve bred 6 does to him and one to my other buck twice and the first time none...

I personally adore my Holland lop rabbits and my two Great Pyrenees dogs. They do really good not trying to get in their cage or anything. I still wouldn’t let the rabbits run free with them cause they have the tendency to wanna play with them and the rabbits think they are getting chased so...

Lol! I posted more photos in response to another reply should be right above this, 😊

So I know nothing about the steel gene lol. The first that came to my brain were lilac otter, blue otter, or opal. The silvering cancels out all 3 and the lack of ring color cancels out opal. Her belly may be white and just stained cause she came to me covered In urine, I’m gonna try cleaning...

This is a black otter This is my rabbit. I really believe she is a blue otter. I just have no idea on the other one.

@judymac ive seen your comments on other posts and you seem to know a lot about colors. Just seeing if you could help me out 😊

I think the bigger doe just has stained fur cause she’s really blue. But yeah for the other one I still can’t tell cause they said she is almost a year old but I feel like she’s really small but the other doe is also really big. I’ll put a pic of the black doe tomorrow because she might also...

Hello guys! So a friend of a friend was just really needing to get rid of her 2 Holland lop does so I just took them in today. One is a solid black and the other I can’t tell if she’s a lilac otter or just a lighter blue otter or some other kind of grey. She looks like she has some very subtle...

So I ended up breeding Magpie x broken tort-September 1 Magpie x blue/fawn tricolor -September 1 Magpie x Broken black -September 7 Broken black tort x chestnut -September 7 Magpie x BEW -September 8 Broken black tort x black- September 9 Magpie x blue otter-September 10> I have no idea...

Yeah it’s just hard because I have to work with what I’ve got available to me. I managed to get a blue eyed white doe and I bred her to my magpie buck because two rabbits on his pedigree including his mother were Vienna marked so I’d like to see what I get from them. Probably end up keeping a...

So for my blue otter doe what should I do? Her dad was a fox otter so I know she carries it. Sorry if I sound really ignorant I know a lot about breeding bews and the Vienna gene so the rest of the colors are just new to me.

Thank you!! And for me some of my rabbits gained condition when I cut out hay and some lost it. So I’m currently in an experiment to see how they do with it. I’m also thinking about switching pellets

I agree. But I’ve been using just the cubes and I’m not sure if that’s really the same.

Hello, so I want to know y’all’s opinion on feeding your herds hay. I’m raising Holland lops for show and I’m not new to raising rabbits but I’m new to raising for show purposes so I’m wondering how hay, specifically Timothy hay, affects the body condition of a rabbit and if y’all feed it or...

Thank you!! Very informational!! I think I’ll do : Magpie buck x tricolor doe. Magpie buck x broken black doe. Magpie buck x broken tort doe. Magpie buck x black doe. Broken Tort buck x chestnut doe. Broken Tort buck x blue otter doe. And if I get a harlequin doe out of these litters I’ll...

That was my original thought but I read somewhere you are not supposed to use magpies in tricolor lines. Also my blue/fawn tri doe is my only non pedigreed rabbit so I’m trying to decide if I wanna keep her in my program or not.
