It's possible they got chilled. It is just odd that they are such a dark blue. I will post some pics as they grow. I have a foster kit in with them that was born to a doe I didn't even think was bred. It was born on the wire and it is getting white fur. I am going to revered the pair to see if I...

I bred two of my Californian rabbits with shocking results. This was her first litter. She gave birth to 9 kits all were a blue color. I assumed they would turn white as they grew 5 are still living and are a week old. They are still a silver blue color. Both parents have traditional Cali...

I have been trying unsuccessfully for over a week to get my rabbits to breed. I have 4 does and two bucks. Two of the does have bred and raised litters in the past. One of my bucks is proven and the other is not. The younger buck is over a year old so I know he isn't too young. He tries to...

My yard has been infested with fleas. I have finally got them under control. My question is that I have read that Advantage for Cats can be used to control fleas on rabbits. One of my NZW white does is nursing a litter of 6 and I was wondering if any of you have used Advantage on a nursing...

I have NZW and Californians for meat production. They are not show rabbits, just for my home meat production and I sell a few fryers to the locals. Thanks for the responses everyone. My TSC had Purina show instock today so I asked if they could get Purina Pro in. If not I will stick with the...

Thanks for the response. I just didn't want to feed the bucks and dry does the 18% and when they didn't need it. I think I will feed both and see how it works for me.

No one?

Since I cannot find Purina Show or Professional in my immediate area I have after much research here on BYH to feed my meat rabbits Manna Pro feeds. I bought a bag of the GRO for my milking doe and her litter. The bag says to feed to young rabbits and milking does. All other classes of...

I just had a doe lose a litter and I didn't even know she was pregnant. I tried breeding her and she always fought with the buck. I palpated her two days before she delivered and never felt the babies and she had 6 full size babies. I always give the box at 28 days and leave it until day 35...

Ok I came home to a horrible sight today. My NZW doe had 6 kits on the wire. She had chewed on all of them and three were still alive. She was supposed to be due two weeks ago, but alas no babies. I have been trying to rebreed her for the last two weeks and now I know why she goes psycho...

The top one is so cute. Almost makes me want an Angora, but my rabbits aren't pets they have a purpose! At least thats what I had to tell my DW!

I have a black buck and I am unsure of his breed. He was given to me by a person who bred meat rabbits and I don't know if he is a NZ Black or just a mixed breed. He has a lot of brown in him due to the sun. Also I am posting a pic of my Cali buck who's black markings aren't very dark and I...

Super Cute:clap:clap

Find out what kind of feed they use and offer a couple of bags. I'm sure they would appreciate it since they have to feed the moms producing milk for your babies. Also some manual labor may come in handy as well if some help is needed.

I had the same problem with one of my does. She didn't take with the first breeding. It turns out the buck needed to "clean himself out" of the old dead semen. I rebred the does and both had litters. Maybe try breeding the does again in a week or so when he has a fresh supply of semen. Then...

She will have them when you least expect it! LOL My NZW doe pulled some hair checked on her nothing, went back an hour later and she had 6 healthy kits. I checked on her all the time. :D

I have two NZW girls who are over 4 years old and each just had a litter one had 5 and the other 6. Not too bad for some "old" girls. Of course one of them killed her litter, but I think she was stressed so I am going to give her another shot.

I believe the optimum weight is 5lbs. Not 100% sure though.

She may of been stressed. I had to bring the nest box in the house because of the threat of rain. I haven't gotten their shed built yet. I put the box back out with her and two days later she killed them. I bought some heavy duty tarps and now they are protected from the rain until their...

I had a rex doe that would charge and try to bite me all the time when she was prego. As soon as the kits were born she calmed down and went back to normal.
