I would try palpating her. On just wait. :)

What kind of breeds do you raise?

She is a little over a year old and this is her second litter. I was thinking it was the heat to so I put her and her kits in my bedroom. I put her back after I got an air conditioner. All three kits are still alive, but the 2 peanuts are dyeing and probably wont be there tomorrow (she eats them...

My jersey wooly doe kindled 6 kits, but 3 were born dead. Among the 3 that are alive, 2 are peanuts. What was wrong?

I would probably be using wire cages for that then. It is also best to get them something to stand on. They have cage mats at the TSC.

It all depends on the size of the rabbits. What kind do you raise? With small or medium breeds, wire is best. With breeds like Flemish giants, solid floor is the best.

The heat did make a difference. She had a harder time kindling and there were lots of dead kits and blood. The air conditioner is makeing a difference, but right now, the mom and her kits are in my room.

What breeds do you raise? For smaller and meat breeds you ween at 6, for larger breeds, wean at 8. When weaning, just remove the mother from the cage. Put the smaller one in the cage with the mother for one extra day to dry her up and to give the kit a boost.

One of my friends raises flordia whites for meat and show. She sells the meat rabbits for $15 and the show ones for $25.

It is really hot inside my Rabbitry, 90 degrees at the hottest part of the day (I'm getting an air conditioner tomorrow) and I was wondering if heat affected rabbits nesting. Last time, a day befor my doe kindled, she made a huge nest out of straw. It only got about 65 degrees at the time. This...

How old is your doe?

Try soaking clay tiles in water for an hour then freeze them. That should help.

That would probably help. Also putting ice cubes in the water bowls works well. Where do you keep your rabbits? I have mine in my garage and I am getting an air conditioner for them.

I use water crocks for my rabbits. They attach to the cage so they don't tip over. http://www.bassequipment.com/Waterers/Crocks,+Pans,+Nozzles/default.aspx

I know If you bred an English lop to a Rex you get a velveteen lop, which is not yet registered by the ARBA, but they are working on it. I would guess if you breed a holland lop to a mini Rex you would get a mini velveteen lop. It takes about 3 generations though, to get a rabbit with lop ears...

At 6 weeks you should be able to get a general idea. You need to check the teeth first for malocclusion. If he has one, it is unethical to sell it. Then check the toenails. They should be the right colour for the colour of the rabbit and all the same colour. Then check the coat colour to make...
