Tonight Zelda has blood drops on her resting board, and a bit of blood on her tail, is laying stretched out looking mighty uncomfortable. Had a teen calling in a panic about the blood. Advised she's starting labor and to leave her be!

Zelda is big and round and ready to pop. Hershey is.... Not. She's back at the weight when I bred her and Zelda to Pete. She readily bred to him again, and bred Penelope to a Lynx buck from Zelda's last litter, so crossing my fingers Hershey took this time. Would be a shame if she hits the 3 try...

Well this morning I came out to Zelda haystaching. Nest boxes supposed to go in Fri... Hershey is not haystaching, but was looking worried this morning (if that is possible). Picking hay out of the hay rack and dropping it on the bottom of her cage by the hay rack. She was also desperate for...

I found this, so I think we're safe: http://www.medirabbit.com/Zoonotic/Zoonotic_main.htm

I also have strep throat, and unfortunately no one in my house will step up for care. But I do take pitchers of water out (I have top fill water bottles) and only handle the handle of the feed scoop which sits on top of my garbage can of feed, not in the feed directly, so hoping the germ...

I voted rex, but truly my favorites are Satins. LOVE the sheen! Some day if I can get a 2nd breed Satins would be it.

:barnie I never thought about the separate nest boxes for does. Of course I only have 2 and didn't mark who had which on it...

Palpation day! I was able to feel jelly beans in Hershey. Not sure on Zelda, I don't know if its because her mammary glands are larger than last time. I *think* she is, but you never know.

@Bunnylady I haven't put him on our scale yet, but he weighs at least 5 lbs, and is the size of my 4 month old rex. I'm thinking he's mixed with Dutch just because I had a Dutch/mini lop mix that looked almost exactly like him (but longer ears). Spot on the nose, the white collar (Dash's goes...

We have ours in stacking cages in our garage with trays underneath. In good weather we can clean the trays every other day (good = no snow on the ground lol) and the smell is very easy to control. However since Nov, we've been hit with so much snow, we have ~3 ft even after it being 50 out the...

Well this rabbit is not a Polish, appears to be a Netherland dwarf mixed with Dutch. He's got a dwarf like lead, but is bigger for sure.

I know that if you breed for 3 generations and keep records, they can "become" pedigreed, but that takes time and patience... However I have 0 patience... lol! Considering how my first litter is still about 6 weeks away from being breeding age, 2nd litters not due for another 3 weeks....

At day 7 to 10, I can (mostly successfully) feel the babies. I've palpated a few unbred and bucks to feel what the poop feels like, and the babies are definitely bigger and squishier than the poo pellets. I have to palpate 2 does tonight to see if they took. I have to close my eyes and focus on...

... anyone you know is willing to try and give their rabbits to you. I had my brother in law offer me their rabbit which we refused, and now the lunch lady is giving my daughter a Polish. My daughter came home begging to get that rabbit, so now we're going to buy an indoor cage so it can be in...

So, my husband agreed to "letting" me breed 2 does again now that the other litters are cleared out (down to the ones we're keeping for now)... Thinking of doing Hershey, my chocolate doe and Zelda with Pete, my broken castor buck. Bound to get lots of castors and brokens. But I want to see how...

Was this from the doe that pulled fur a week ago?

My mother and brother ALSO raised/showed Satins in the 80s! They were very big into the red satins. Brokens were just starting to come onto the scene, I was about 6 when they sold out. I remember a couple of REWs, and they also had a couple of Californians, but in recent talks with my mom she...

One of my girls did the same, pulled about a week early, pulled again 3 days before, and the night of. Her babies were so warm half of them laid on top of the fur!! It's been 4 months since her babies have been born, and her fur is JUST recovering from how much she pulled off her sides. She...

In my household my husband is very much a beef man. He loves red meat. So we do get the extra fats and what not from that. We also have the extra roosters and drakes, so we're not eating rabbit exclusively. We purchased a brand new construction on 5 acres last year, and we are ever so slowly...
