Thats awesome. Could you judge my doe if i post pictures?

Hello! If any one has Dutch rabbits, breeds them, shows them or just love Dutch, then this is your thread! I'm hoping we can help each other out because I know I'm having a heck of a time finding info on line. Especially on judging and showing them!

You have beautiful rabbits! So I'm a little concerned about Blue. She is due soon so I put her in her kindling pen. It's large enough for her to move around quite abit but I'm concerned that she will get stressed out over not being in the "colony". I put her in a week early to adjust her. Her...

Awesome thanks! Ill get some of the earth stuff. Two more weeks and my lovely Blue is due!

Thanks for the input! I talked to some vets and breeders and cavy and rabbit is basically the same. Cavies only require vitamin c. So the drops plus constant hay and grass is a good enough diet for them. Right now we have wire spread along the outsides of the run but it's mainly to keep things...

I'm glad your colony is doing good! Mine is just beginning and we are starting things slow. Currently we have two bucks. A broken orange holland and a palamino Netherland dwarf cross who we took in when the family couldn't care for anymore. As far as does, we have three that are living...

Hi! I can't believe I've found someone who does this! I'm attempting to raise holland lips and dutch colony style.

Well my name is Ruby so maybe something like Ruby Tuesday or Tuesday or something that embraces their miniature size.

Sooo I just bought my Nigerian Dwarf does and now I need a herd name! I'm hoping that it can be cute and clever! Any ideas?

Alright thank you! I just put a down deposit on a pair of Nigerian Dwarfs does!

So then are the first years able to take care of all of them? Or would it be better to pull some?

Oh wow, ok thanks everyone!

I've noticed that! Oh and another question, I know with sheep, when we breed a year-long it's almost certain that she will have a single her first year, then after her first, she will start having more. Is it the same with goats? Or could a yearling have twins?

Ok I have a dumb/weird question .:hide. Say that the doe has twins, could I pull one off to bottle raise if I wanted to keep one? And leave the other on her to be sold? Hope that makes sense to ya.

Thank you guys! One of our friends has some left over milking supplies that I will be trading for some of my hens, and that's what she told me she had. So then, with a niggie, how many times a day should I milk her?

Well thank you very much! You just saved me from doing math! And we grow our own hay, it's a mix of alfalfa and brome, and then we have just a grass mix to.

Is it safe to say that that bag would last longer than a month?

Thank you! So is their a certain amount that I need to put out? Like if I put out to much will I need to worry about it spoiling? We do have lots of mice:idunno:barnie

Hello! So I was wondering if anyone has any rough ideas of how fast 2 nigerian dwarf does would go through a 50 lb bag of mineral? And are their any specific mineral that I need to feed?

Hello everyone! So right now I'm getting my finances all figured out so I can afford a few Nigerian Dwarfs to get milk, butter, soap etc. So far so good! Right now I'm figuring out what equipment I will need. I've figured filters, a mini pail, and what else? And what do I need to just process...
