A couple things to say here: 1) I'm sorry for your loss. It was bad enough to figure out that when my cats wandered off it meant they were never coming back (death due to old age or predators). I think you are completely right in worrying, but I'm just going to say to not carry it around too...

I've had bucks who wouldn't squeal/grunt and still get the job done. They only way you could tell that they did it was if they hopped away from the doe or if they slowly fell off the doe's back. You can always check the doe's vulva and see if there's and ejaculate around the vent. At the same...

I am not sure. I went through my rabbit disease book and found no mention of black spots in there. Did the rabbit seem sick or act unusual in the week before their expiration? What does the abnormality feel like? Filled with pus? Hard? And what section of the rabbit's body is this?

I agree that #3 (white) is most likely a New Zealand, but if #1 and #2 are siblings, then I highly doubt they are fully New Zealand. In order to get the #1's colour (chestnut, as bunnylady said), then you would need to breed a New Zealand to a rabbit that is an agouti of some sort (chestnut...

It' been awhile since I've been on here. To catch you up on what's happened: On June 7 at about 8:30, another doe gave birth. She had 2, but they were dead when I found them (first time mom). One had been punctured in the stomach, the other was (in my words) a baby hippo. 3 times the normal...

Yes, I can finally make this thread! Yesterday (June 4) Snow (broken chocolate Havana) had her second litter. 5 little ones, 1 broken black, 2 broken chocolate, and 2 solid black. She gave birth right on day 31, which she did last time. Then today (June 5), I went out to check on Snow and the...

So many floppy eared adorableness! Congrats on all of the babies and my condolences on Lilly's babies.

I see what is happening here (even though I'm a bit late to respond). Both of your Silver Foxes carry the Vienna gene, which cause that "Dutch" pattern. Time for a genetics lesson! Broken and Vienna-marked rabbits are different. Broken is made by have the genes "Enen" while Vienna-marked is...

I have had this happen to me. My first doe I ever had went a week late every time she was pregnant. I hated it, but it's just how her body worked. I'd say as long as the doe is healthy and the alive kits are healthy, you shouldn't be too worried. If she does this again and there are more alive...

So, no Havana babies (yet). I have another one due next week, this one is more promising as she actually has had a litter before. On Saturday (18th) I got a pair of... Champagne d'Argents! They are so beautiful and so far are a joy to have. It's really all I've been able to talk about when I'm...

I officially voted for #1, but if there's a chance the Scottish Highland (the cow) from #2 can be in it instead as they are a more rare breed, then I would prefer that. Otherwise, Valais' #2. I'm excited to find out what the winner is!

So many beautiful kids. If I was closer, I'd probably get a couple from you. Good luck with those last two in June/July.

Yay! Congrats on the twin lambs.

Hello, welcome to the world of breeding rabbits! How tall is the lip at the entry? I recommend at least 1 1/2 inches, preferably more. I recommend taking the top half off of the crate. This will allow for proper ventilation through the nest boxes (and it won't chill them). Also, the doe will...

Happy Easter to everyone (even though I'm late)! So excited for baby Havana rabbits next Sunday and then some more 2 weeks after. Then I will be get some Champagne d'Argents soon! I'm so excited, especially since I already have two people who will butcher/show me how to butcher them. It's nice...

I'm going to bet my Wednesday night you shall have some more lambs running around.

Congratulations! The little girl is so adorable! (So is the boy, but I like the white thrown in their.)

Congratulations on the triplets and an easy birth!

I'm so glad that the twin is doing good! And the pictures are so adorable.

Pretty does. I love opals and chinchillas. My bets on Tally takes first. Possibly Georgia or Lilly. The young ones may take first depending on who gets bred first and how antsy they are. Good luck!
