Nice!! Didn't you say he was a Lionhead/Dutch mix? I can feel a little bit of texture difference between the white abd colored hair on my Dutch.

Yes, but that was not what I was talking about. I was talking about different breeds. Angoras are expected to need a higher protein pellet than a Rex. It is not a deformity or problem, it is a "side affect" of wool production. A rabbit that gets more exercise needs more food. That is the same...

Thumper has some unique coloring.

@animalmom , her rabbits nutritional needs may be different than your rabbits nutritional needs. You couldn't feed an Angora the same amount of protein you feed a Rex. Why? The Angora diverts a lot of its protein towards hair growth. The rabbit would have a protein deficiency if fed the same %...

If you are not already going to, PUT A ROOF ON YOUR ENCLOSURE. Hawks will eat the rabbits.

Backyard raisers know their individual animals better, since they can spend more time with their rabbits. We have found that certain feeds produce certain characteristics by expiramentibg with whatever we can.

You must have really nervous rabbits. Maybe mine are just used to it. They live right next to where we chop our firewood and do our hutch building, so hear table saws, circular saws, wood splitters, etc., and sleep right through it. The most freaked out mine have gotten was when they were tipped...
