I had a litter that I had to shelve indoors for a few nights this winter because of extreme temperatures. Every morning when I'd bring the nest box back their mother had pulled a ton of hair into the corner of her hutch. I just added it in with the rest of the fur in the nest box each time...

Hay is the most important thing in a rabbits diet. Fruits and veggies should only be fed as treats in moderation. Some rabbits who have been raised on only pellets and hay will reject fresh food. These rabbits have not development the proper bacteria in their stomachs to digest fresh food...

You have to be careful feeding too many sunflower seeds or oats during the summer because they will make it harder for your rabbits to handle the heat and it will delay them putting on their winter coat when they need it. Cabbage can give a rabbit bloat, and too much alfalfa can cause bladder...

I'm not 100% sure about harlequin, but I think that it takes two coppies of the harlequin gene or a harlequin gene paired with a red gene (harlequin is dominate to red)... I'm thinking that agouti might be a requirement too, so I don't think that you will get harlequin from a harlequin/black...

In order to get chocolates your broken black must carry a chocolate gene. To get lilacs your broken black must carry both chocolate and dilute and your chocolate must also carry dilute. Do you know the colors of either of these rabbits parents?

Roanie's twins just chillin'.

She seems to be back to her feisty self, boxing with me when I try to retrieve her food crock, eating like a rabbit twice her size, and shredding her corn husk toys. Its amazing... when I found her like she was I thought for sure she was a goner.

I have always put alfalfa cubes in when the babies are old enough to start eating and I keep them with my weanlings because I usually have at least one jerk who digs all of the pellets out of the bin and I don't want them to find themselves without anything to eat while I am at work... I'm...

Great news! I fixed a bowl of good 18% food, a few steam crimped oats, a couple of sunflower seeds mixed up with some banana baby food blended with minerals and warm water. I let it cool and top dressed it with a few dandelion greens and flowers and two slices of banana with peel and then I put...

I stayed up with her most of the night. Around 2am she started showing marked improvement. By 3am she was making her displeasure at being indoors in a box very clear - digging in the corner and thumping loudly. This morning she seems almost normal. Everything you have said has been right on...

I was just unsure about the zinc, but I mixed some up for her. I honestly don't have my hopes up too high, but I won't give up until she does. This is one of my neices does, and she is going to be heartbroken if she does not make it. :(

Was her breathing fast and did it sound labored when you found her? Did she have trouble getting around her cage? Would she accept the banana or did you have to syringe feed? How long was it before you saw the first sign of improvement that gave you hope?

Sorry, I somehow missed this message. I found a slightly outdated bottle of calcium/magnesium/zinc and a separate bottle of calcium... Do you think that would be safe to try until I can get to the store tomorrow?

What supplement did you give your doe, @Bunnylady ? She has had a mineral wheel in her cage. Can a rabbit be given Nutra-Cal?

The babies are fifteen days old.

I have just used an oral syringe and admisiteted my grandma's favorite universal critter remedy of mashed banana, molasses and boiled oat water. I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a shot.
