Now I am worried! So far he hasn't tried to mount the doe but do I need to separate them? Or does it look like he's been wethered?:eek:

I am not sure where she had him penned. He was already caught and put in a crate when we got him.

I hope this is a good enough shot.

On the 24th of this month he'll be 5 months old. He was wethered with burdizzio on May 25th. That's what is on the paperwork that the seller gave me. I am new to goats so I am clueless to what that type of wethering is.

I bought a Nigerian Dwarf wether to keep with my half nubian/nigerian dwarf doe. I am slightly allergic to goats but it is the wether that is affecting my allergies worst ( my doe hardly affects me at all). My husband and I both think he has a very strong buck smell. So I am just curious, did...

I'm going to start with solids, brokens and otters. I'm going to wait a bit before I go into shaded.

From what I've been reading on all the colors it looks like I'm going to just have to jump in and be a little hands on about it and not be so nervous. Of course I'm going to keep on reading and learning as much as I can. :caf

Thanks @DutchBunny03! I have been reading up on it and it sounds like it is challenging but not something too hard to work with.

I am a newbie at rabbit genetics and am working on buying pedigreed netherland dwarfs. I have found some orange NDs but was wondering if that is a more complicated color to work with than say something like selfs or brokens? :idunno

Thank you @HaloRabbits! I have been reading up on it and that is what I have found as well. It was nice to hear it from someone else!

I am definitely going to do my best to make sure that that kind of thing doesn't happen again!

It was rough! And I felt so stupid for not thinking about the dog. Lesson learned though. The first time the doe kindled she had 5 kits. I thought that was a lot for a netherland dwarf.

She had 3 kits when I left to eat out with some family that had come in to town and when I got back our dog had dug a hole to her burrow and got the kits. When I checked on her she had one kit stuck with only it's little feet sticking out. I helped her get it halfway out and then she stopped...

Today is day 31 and she is carrying hay in her mouth! I am so excited! If everything goes well I will post pictures of the little ones. :fl

I sold my Blue Otter buck a few days ago.:hit I just picked up a pedigreed bunny yesterday. He too is a Netherland Dwarf. I am hopefully getting a a few female bunnies here soon.

Definitely! Those are all dwarf breeds so they will not be eaten! Lol I am probably going to get New Zealand Whites since they are not going to be as easy for me to be attached to. :)

I will definitely keep reading up on it.

If everything goes well I will!

Thank you @DutchBunny03 ! Unfortunately I bought my Nds before I found out that there is such a thing as pedigreed rabbits. I am getting a pedigreed buck soon and am slowly going to build up my pedigreed herd so my husband won't panic too bad! Lol I love my blue otter buck. Which is why I am...

I'd be happy to oblige! The blue otter is my netherland dwarf buck. The black otter is my netherland dwarf doe. And the black holland lop is my daughter's personal pet. I am not planning on breeding Hollands. Yet. ;)
