Would love to see pics of other people's. We have one of each and love them both! I was told by my english lops breeder that they are horrible mothers and they really struggle with raising them Has anybody else experienced this? Or is it more likely just their line? Thanks This is lilylanes...

It seems once people found out I raise rabbit I have become the inadvertent rabbit rescue in my area. Most times I have to tell people no, as I don't have the space or resources to house many more than I have now plus the quarantine part of it is really inconvenient...but I help when I can...

Hi bunnylady! yes they are getting very large and adorable! One of these bunnies, when he's ready, will be donated to become a part of a therapy program for sick children. It is a new program and they are fighting for government funding but I think these kits will be perfect for it! They all...

So you think forcing rabbits to live in wire cages suspended in the air and forcing a doe to be confined in a small cage with her nest is natural and the way mother nature intended? If we look at the way rabbits raise their kits in the wild, you'd see a doe visiting her nest 1 maybe twice a...

Thanks for the great info egg bandit! I am glad you've done your research and read this thread and know the background information. You are obviously a very intelligent person that does not jump to sudden conclusion before...say...googling some of the information(like perhaps the "Chu" method)...

You don't have to take the kits away from their moms. Most people don't. I do. If your interested google "the chu method of nestbox management"

Thanks! I'll try bringing the kits to her instead. Yes there eyes are opened and they are so cute!

I had an accidental liiter. Background info... My flemish doe(9 months) was bred THROUGH wire by my mini lop buck(the ironic thing was she was only housed beside him for 2 days while we were placing an extra piece of wire between cages so there would be a 2 inch gap). Anyways I went out one...

Anybody raising this breed? I recently visited the only "known" breeder of this breed in my province. I found them very interesting but extremely costly. Anyways would like to hear others experiences with this breed.

Thanks! We have replacer left over from last year but I worry its stale. We bought our replacer from McBraynes in Dresden it was very reasonable. But our kid last year did scour a couple of times. So I thought this year, I would try the whole milk and see for myself if there really is a huge...

I hate to post this as a new thread as I am sure this info is all through this forum, but I am afraid that with my dial up....yes some places dial up is still being used ;) ... it is so difficult to look through many posts to compile all the information I need. So please bare with me on the...

Thanks relics! My theory(and its just that, a theory) is that although shes at the point of weaning her kids, the fact that she is going from three to one that she might still have enough milk to feed him. I have basically no hope that this late in the game, that she will adopt this kid. I...

Here is the scoop. We have a nubian cross.....we bought bred and she kidded triplet buckling on valentines day. These kids are due(if weaned and at proper weight) at their new homes April 14th. We just purchased a buckling. He is only 6 days old today(and still with his mom) The breeder...

Thanks guy these were the answers I was looking for! I knew you could heat the colostrum (very particularly) to make it safe to feed. I just wasn't sure how to milk her. Since we got her a few months ago we have been feeding her and rubbing her down but as soon as we get near her udder all...

What do you do if ...you want to snatch rear(cae prevention) but have no colostrum and don't think you can milk your doe(won't allow us to touch her udder?) Is their a way to make her allow me to ,ilk her, or give up and let her raise her own kids?

Mine was due yesterday! No babies, but your thread gives me hope! Congrats!!!

I think that will wait until next fall. She is just so tiny now. I will try to get a pic with a size comparison soon. I'm worried about when I finally introduce her to my goats. When they hear her bleting across the yard the hair on the back of their necks and backs raise up and my doe butts...

She has some of the weirdest quirks. SHe still ast 9 mponths of age sucks on my fingers. Olliver stopped doing that about 2 weeks after he was weaned. Her fecals all came back negative! But I think after christmas we will take her to the vet as I am curious to see what he has to say about...

Well here is what I now call my teacup nubian ;) She is so tiny her back only comes up to my knee my guess is she weights closer to 35-40lbs instead of 50. She is current on vaccinations and deworming, I will still have a fecal run on her to be safe. This is a bad pic. We definately won't be...

Actually rolls I doubt that being one of a triplet was the reason she was staying small( the more I think about it the more I think that being from a commercial dairy they would know that a triplet would be smaller)the are selling this kid as a hobbyist pet only, I just assumed that that meant...
