Thanks @Fuchsia, I've never seen the mother groom them, only the kits have been grooming each other, alot! All four of the kits fur seems stuck up at odd angles - I hope now that they are hopping out of the nest box, nibbling food and hay that this over grooming will stop and their fur will...

Here is a photo of my bald kit - the bald patch isn't inflamed, the kit isn't scratching it and is eating and drinking as normal for a 3 week old. Does anyone think this is just over grooming or should I be more worried? I looked back at a photo I took 10 days ago and the kit wasn't bald then.

My Rex kits are nearly 3 weeks old and I've noticed today that two of them have very thin fur on the top of their heads - I'm not sure if I should be worried or not. What would cause this and should I be doing anything to help? Sorry, I think I posted this in the wrong place

Hello, I'm fairly new to breeding rabbits for meat - only had my first Rex kits a few weeks ago. But.... I need advice concerning my 6 month old New Zealand White buck - Each time I have put in my 5 month old NZW doe he jumps around biting her, tries to do the deed any which way and misses...
