MR Lops, was it your site that had the info on the plush lops? I can't wait to see what you come up with! I hope you all figure out how to get them recognized. CYG

I posted a topic with almost exactly the same title in "Breeds and Breeding" last week! I swore it'd never happen to me either but a buck and doe were older than I was told and now I may have a NZW litter on the way as well as a Lionhead/NZ litter if she was bred through the wire. I wouldn't...

I keep finding great rabbits on the other side of the country haha. I'm hoping the state fair in Sedalia will give me some good leads. If not I guess I'll have some giant road trips and rabbit-hiding to do before October! CYG

I wish you lived closer to Missouri! My friend/co-rabbitry-owner wants some Champagnes for our tiny growing rabbitry and I'm trying to find some pedigreed--at least a pair--for her birthday at the end of October. I hope I find a breeder or two with good lines at the state fair coming up! CYG

Well we thought they were just under 8 weeks but now we're thinking 12. If the Lionhead doe was bred through the wire--which I kind of doubt as she's not quite a social butterfly with her neighbors--then I probably will cull--or try to make myself--because they won't be very edible and will...

I don't know about how it's supposed to go but that's about how it went with us. We wanted to breed and raise New Zealand Reds and now we have 1 NZ red, two NZ whites and six Lionheads. Rabbit math is almost as crazy as chicken math! CYG

Last Friday I bought a pair of White New Zealands, a buck and a doe. They're identical in every way except for the dewlap, including age, so I'm pretty sure they're litter mates. We were told they were almost two months old and we're letting a newly purchased used--very dirty--hutch dry in the...

I don't know if anyone mentioned but mix some lavender oil with water in a spray bottle. Spray the dogs beds and every other cloth surface including carpet that they get on. The dogs can be sprayed too if it's a natural lavender oil. Fleas hate it and it's worked for us many times. CYG

This is why I just have a chihuahua. :P But really I don't think any dog I own should be an outside dog. So whether it's a chihuahua or great Dane, I bought it/took it in and it'll live inside--away from roads and guns and livestock. That's the real reason I only have a chihuahua! CYG

My Lionhead buck BigWig is breeding age and my NZR Hazel is about half way there. The first one of the boys that sprays me is getting it right back with the hose. So far they don't spray eachother (they're hutch neighbors) or the lovely ladies across the way. Hopefully I keep them busy enough or...

OMG our lionhead kit jumped over twice her body weight straight up and through a hole about three square inches into the neighboring hutch. She then escaped out through the empty hutch's open door four feet down and was roaming the yard! Chasing did no good but eventually she just crawled up...

Thanks everybody! CYG

Congratulations! What a gorgeous buck! I'd love some Champagne kittens if only we lived closer to one another! Haha although I'm trying to concentrate on our NZReds and lionheads. You're making it very difficult with your beautiful rabbit! CYG

Watership Down is hands down my favorite novel of all time. I was seven years old the first time I read the book and have read the book six separate times during my life. As a person who read dozens of "literary" books through college, I have to say that there is no novel to even compare. I had...

I've heard that the leak-proof bottle waterers can hurt a rabbit's teeth when they pull on it. Does anyone have personal experience with this? I'd be afraid to risk it if it's something other peope have experienced. CYG

How often do rabbits molt? Is it breed-specific or do all rabbits molt? If breed specific then do Lionheads molt? I've never heard of rabbits molting! How interesting! CYG

Hello everyone! My friend and I recently started our own mini farm with rabbits, chickens, guineas and turkeys all of which are currently babies. We have one New Zealand Red doe and two black Lionheads, one buck and one doe. We have Narragansett turkey poults, Austrolorp and Silkie chicks and...

I just bought two black month-old kits. I was told the dam was red and the sire was gray and that they were the only two born in their litter. I'm planning to cross them once and see what colors I can get and whether or not the small litter size is genetic. Hopefully I'll end up with a litter of...
