Ruby <3 She hasn't figure out to go on her shelf. I put a few sunflower seeds up there but she hasn't found them yet. this what she does when I check on the kit. She watches me the whole time:P
Onyx enjoying his hide hole. When we get the other hutch done he will not have one. But as long as he doesn't poop or pee in it we leave it open for him.he is my husbands favorite :P
Sapphire is doing great. Eating, drinking, pooping and peeing.
Its nice and sunny so we did weights today.
Onyx 4 months 24 days is 7 lbs 8 oz ( 3/6 was 6lbs 14oz)
Topaz 5 months 26 days is 7lbs 14 oz (3/6 was 7lbs 10 oz)
Ruby 4 months 24 days is 8lbs 13 oz (2/23 was 7lbs 2 oz)
Sapphire 2 months...
Here she is,sapphire! @DutchBunny03 this was the best experience with a breeder so far. She was comfortable answering a bunch of questions, we got to meet sapphires parents and siblings, she gave us way more information than any other breeder.
I have another question. Her pee is dark like a...
Thank you, that is a great explanation :]
Our blue buck has no chocolate genes, so we won't be getting any lilacs from him.
Both our black and doe have blue in their lines and have blue siblings so does that mean they have a good chance of carrying blue? The parents were all black.
We just bought a blue silver fox doe and the breeder e-mailed me her pedigree. I didn't realize she had chocolate (& lilac) in her line. Can anyone help me with the probability of getting chocolate or lilac kits from her? Our rabbit are for meat but colors are still fun :]]
We got another silver fox rabbit!
This is sapphire she is 2 months old and so tiny!
We had the breeder tattoo her before we took her home today so her ear has been a little droopy. She eat hay the whole way home and is now sitting in a corner wondering why its so quiet (the breeder had it colony...
So we moved Mama ruby and her kit today. so far so good! More of an update on this thread pg 4.

He can drive me crazy (I like having a plan :P) but he is amazing at making things work. We don't have the money for new tools so we did all the cutting with a circular saw and a lot of the hardware was from all our hoarding. We did a lot of extra work to minimize any lips so it will be easier...
Everyone is outside! We put topaz and onyx out yesterday afternoon, topaz is the one with most anxiety so we thought it was best not to put ruby in just in case he started freaking out. They both ate,drank, peed and pooped last night so I would consider that a win!
Ruby was not very sure but...
*Ruby & kit Update*
The kit has grown A LOT and is now looking like an actual rabbit! I will take some pictures tomorrow. Ruby has decided that there is not enough stuff in the nesting box she has pulled so much fur (i took the fresh stuff out and saved it for future litters) and torn more of...
Okay, she is normally pretty calm. When she get scared or is upset she puts head in the far corner.
But I would rather be safe than sorry. I'm kind worried she will stop taking care of the kit. She is pretty young (4 months) and i have been happily shocked at how well she is doing. We cleaned...
Our silver fox doe Ruby had a one live kit. She is feeding it and its growing great. The problem is that she can't stay in her current cage (inside the house), its too small. We have an out door hutch made and ready for her. We will also have to change the nesting box (cardboard) because its not...
thank you :]
We have two black (doe & buck) & a blue (buck). Our blacks have a possibility to carry the blue gene so
i'm excited to see some colors in future breeding!
Thank you of the responses. We will be defiantly keeping her separated for at least a month. I will ask her some more questions about it.
Another question. Should I worry about our two dogs getting snuffles/pasturella. She would be up-stairs and our dogs are down stairs ( we have a baby gate on...
