Hello again! Long time no "see"!
I posted as DumansArk about Muppet, my mystery rabbit that started out kind of fuzzy and turned FURRY. He is just the coolest guy.
And his fur is just as wooly as ever:
But he is one year old now, and we've introduced several does to him. The breedings appear to go normally but none of the does have ever conceived.
Heat of the summer? The other bucks continued right on through with siring litters; no issues. Maybe it is because he is so hairy, his extremities held in heat or... grasping at straws, I know. I just so badly want does with offspring out of him!
I checked for a split penis: nope, all the equipment looks fine and appears functional.
I thought maybe all that fur was getting in the way, so I trimmed it. No change.
I was recently told that citrus shouldn't be given to male rats, as it can cause tumors, kidney stones, and sterility. I thought, "Huh." (my rats get oranges all the time, and reproduce juuuust fine) BUT -- Muppet had a bunch of orange and grapefruit and such because he lived next to the guinea pigs for a while and he begged for some every time they got their fix.
He isn't the first rabbit to get a lot of citrus, and in all the buck rabbits we've ever owned over the years, only one other was sterile.
Someone tell me there is an herbal tea, a recipe for unicorn hair boiled in his waterbottle, a magical cure - something? Anything?
