Chins are good for pretty much everything.Their fur is AMAZING, and they have a great meat type. I looked at them before i decided on Dutch, and almost bought a couple.

Thats the problem right there. Mastitis causes severe teat pain, and most does who have it destroy their nests, killing most of the litter. Try massaging them with warm water or oil, as it can relieve the pain until you are able to treat her. When you breed after a stillborn litter doesnt...

Welcome to BYH!!! What breed of rabbit do you have?

Good thinking that they will spray. Bucks spray all.the.time. It can be a real pain in the neck. Outdoor shelters are probably your best be for cleanliness. I had mine inside for a while and after a week, my basement stank. Rabbits can tolerate very extreme cold, so temperature isnt...

Welcome from Upstate NY!!! Your turtle is awesome.

Welcome from NY!!! Do you breed your lops?

Just because he isn't pedigreed doesn't mean you can't show him or that he wouldn't be a good breeder, you just can't register him. Judges judge your rabbit on conformation to the breed/variety standard, not at all based off of his pedigree. While pedigrees are good to have, the lack of one isnt...

If showing is what you want to do, buying a non-showable rabbit, even with a pedigree, is the opposite of helpful. Its offspring could be non-showable, and while that is not a guarentee, it is a big possibility. Then you are stuck with a bunch of non-showable rabbits. Joining the ARBA is a...

Welcome to BYH!

Yay!!! Remember to post pictures! First litters often have problems. The doe just has to get one bad litter out of her system, but not always.

Welcome to BYH!!! Are they pedigreed? Depending on what you are breeding for, pedigrees may be necessary, although they are great to have anyway. Your NDs are beautiful! The buck has very nice color. Picking up another doe may be a good idea, because then you have a "spare" if the blue is a bad...

http://mosaicrabbitry.weebly.com/the-bew-vc-vm--vienna-gene.html I don't know much about NZ genetics, but those look like they are VM. One of the parents must have been a BEW, because a VM is a BEW mixed with something other than another BEW.

How old is she? Sometimes, old rabbits who have had many litters just lose their mothering ability. Have you had any predators around your hutches? Dogs barking? Loud kids? Loud noises or other disturbances can cause a dam to abandon her litter. She may be having teat pain. That has caused dams...

Hope all the kits and the dam do great!

Welcome to BYH!!!

Yeah. Make sure she is drinking enough water, too. Dehydration could worsen the problem.

Nice. Thats quite a few breeds. I LOVE Champagne D'Argents. Looking forward to getting some when i have more space. Personalities are fun. Smaller ones are supposed to be more skittish, but i have a Dutch buck that practically leaps out of his hutch to get pet, and a NZ doe that is scared of her...

Yep. My relatives keep finding classifieds for rabbits and asking me if i want them. It can be aggravating, because there is no way i would ever want a blind 9 year old NZ/chinchilla mix for $30. Indoor rabbits can be a mess. They will chew EVERYTHING. See if you can talk your daughter into...

Your rabbits are absolutely beautiful!!!! What breeds do you have?
