New Zealand rabbits. So I have a new “unproven” buck. I have 4 females. Litter one was a new unproven doe with the buck. Litter one was 4 kits. All heathy. Litter two was with a proven doe and also had 4 kits. Litter three was with another unproven doe 2 huge kits. Litter four just was born...

HelloAll! I have been raising meat rabbits for over and it’s going well. So I decided to jump into the world of woolers. My girl is an indoor bunny. She is out and about most of the day but gets put away at night in a 4x2 cage. My question is what do you line the cage that doesn’t stick to her...

No they aren’t together. I am just shocked at the difference in personalities. They are full sisters. One is sweet as an angel and the other well not so much. Lol

Shes for breeding. I was trying to wait until she was a little older to breed her. All of my rabbits are handled daily by my kids but the meaner she gets the less they want to handle her.

Also they are 4 months old.

Hello all! About a month ago I purchased two sister New Zealand rabbits. They are kept exactly the same. One bunny is the calmest friendliest thing ever. One wants to eat my hand every single time I try to do anything. Including during feeding times. My question is this. How do I get my other...

Hello everyone who is much smarter than I am when it comes to color. I have a REW that I bred with my black. I ended up with three steels and three blacks. We are breeding for both show and meat. My question is. These three blacks I have. Do they carry the steel gene? I do not want to keep...

That’s a GREAT idea!! I’ll try that tomorrow. This rabbit is the ONLY one I have that I can’t really handle. She’s a show bunny so she’ll allow you to “show” her but if you try anything at all affectionate towards her she’s mean. And breeding her brought out a whole side of crazy I’ve never seen...

Crud. He does not have any white on him at all. One of the babies has white nails. I haven’t been able to even look them over because mom is SO PROTECTIVE and will bite me if I touch them. I hope when they start hopping out of the nest I can look them over for color better

My buck had broken in his pedigree

Dang!! I was hoping not to have steels. I have three of them from a different litter (different mom and dad) and since they are not a recognized color (even though I’m finding it to be a crazy common). I really was hoping for a broken black.

Hello everyone! so I bred my campion buck (black) with my REW doe (she has 6 legs). I have pedigrees that go way back for both rabbits. This was my out come. My REW has nothing but REW and I have a 4 generation pedigree and papers on her. My buck also came with 4 generations and nothing but...

She fed them last night and is now more over protective than ever but they are well cared for. I did screw a small piece of wood on the bottom of the entrance so now they are in the box. It’s cooler today so they haven’t left the nest. Good gracious this litter is super important to us so I’m...

I got it fixed. Got a lip on the nesting box. No more rouge bunnies. Momma was NOT HAPPY with me but it’s done. I HOPE she doesn’t reject them but she’s in the box with them and won’t leave so I hope not.

I wish I could describe my set up. They have wooden boxes attached to their cages. It’s flat. They are having zero problem wiggling out. And yes it’s extremely hot here. I check the temperature in the boxes and it’s cooler than outside. But it’s still around 80° in the box. We’re set to have...

Also I will be putting a lip on the box as soon as I get home but I have zero doubt 4 of 6 will be roaming.

My cages are made with 1/2” hardware cloth. They aren’t falling through nor am I really worried about that. I’m just worried about them roaming out of the box. They have a large nesting box they keep getting out of. The problem is I don’t have a lip on the nesting box so they can and have ALL...

The whole cage. They are all over the place.

Thank you SO much! I assumed they were hot but I was worried about them just roaming around. They are very large and well fed. Mom is doing a great job with them but she’s not a very nice bunny and basically tries to attack me any time I come near them. I did get to look the nest over and did...

I’m hoping someone can give me advice. My momma New Zealand just had a group of kids three days ago. Of course at three days old we are having the biggest hot streak of the summer. Well my babies are wiggling out of their nest. What do I do?!?!? Mom doesn’t seem concerned. I keep putting them...
