I lost Aria today. She was due the first week of Feb, she had one kit, DOA and I was sure she had more kits. It was supposed to be her second litter. Nothing came out so I rebred her. She's been off her food for a while. Still eating some hay. She looked bad Sunday, and worse yesterday. I found her dead this morning.
What is it with shaded rabbits? It's my all time favorite color, even over Agoutis, and I can't seem to make it work.
From the Hollands, MR, Rex, Angoras and now JW, I can't seem to get the shaded programs up and running.
Holland- failed to produce a live kit in 4 litters. 5th litter one live, but not shaded kit, drops dead at 12 wks.
Second doe dropped dead two weeks after I got her.
MR, can't seem to find a shaded MR. Get ones with good genes, stuck kits and doe dies.
Rex--Seal doe is almost two, first litter had no milk, won't lift or had a color change in almost a year. Cal buck took a chunk from my hand, kits from other doe are all martens,, Marten buck has a split penis, Marten doe smothers her litter.
Angora- buck drops dead right before I am supposed to pick him up. Himi doe starts blowing snot day after I get her. All himi kits die from the plague.
Maybe I should talk about how much I hate shades and suddenly they will over run the rabbitry.?
