Wow, I am surprised! I wean at 6 weeks of age, always have with no problems. Yet many owners and breeders are constantly telling me to wait until 8 - sometimes even 10-12 weeks of age!

I think the first one is a mismarked tort or torted harlequin. Lionheads are weird with their colors sometimes lol.

First of all, I think you should wait to wean the first litter! Four weeks is too young to get all the nutrients they need. I'd wait at least another week to START weaning. And, like the previous post stated, I agree that a doe shouldn't be bred unless in optimum condition. My does never...

I have heard of people doing a hay and veggie diet. But, each small rabbit will need 2 cups of fresh leafy greens, which can add up to be a bit costly. And I do think that rabbits NEED hay. It is essential for a long life and healthy teeth and digestive tract. But I also think pellets are...

Still available, will be ready in a week when they are 6 weeks.

Just out of curiousity, what breed are they?

Oops, I mentioned that twice :rolleyes:

I would trim her claws. She looks a bit gray, but it's hard to tell from just the picture. BTW, her claws look pretty long, and I reccomend trimming them when you pick her up. I love Lionheads! They are such cute, sassy lil buns. Post pics of them all when you get them!:)

If you feed alfalfa pellets, you must feed grass hays. But, sources such as Oxbow actually make timothy based pellets, which then it would be fine to feed alfalfa. My sources are mostly from talking to breeders and judges, so I cant post a link.

Mine get a mix of Timothy, Orchard, Oat, and Meadow grass hays. But any of these alone works just fine. Alfalfa is too high in protein and calcium, and should not be given. I am glad to see someone on the forum that feeds unlimited hay. Keep up the great work!:celebrate

I recently had a litter of 8 baby rabbits. They are Mini Rex mixes. They are currently 4 weeks old, and will be about 4 lbs full grown. There are 5 bucks, 3 does. There are the following: Blue otter buck Blue tort buck Broken blue otter buck Broken black tort doe Broken blue tort buck Broken...
