I think, according to BunnyLady's reply earlier, that one is a Chestnut Agouti. ??? This is the other nest of babies. One of these "tort/red/orange" has alot of gray underneath. I guess it is the "tort". The other red/orange ones have the white... :) Here is the dad, just for kicks...

So far so good! I moved 3 of the 11 and gave to the doe that only had 2. The move was successful, everybody is happy. They are just so cute! Thanks so much for the advice. :) They grow SO fast! :)

WOW! What a great explanation BunnyLady!!! I love genetics. Its fascinating! I am anxious for them to get fuzzy now. :) I love all the colors. :) Thank you for taking the time to explain all that. :)

So far no problems at all! :) I checked on them several times yesterday and just went out this morning and all is well. Thanks for all the help! :) What color will they turn out? How is it I got 3 colors, actually 4? The white, tan, one brown, and black. :)

Ok, I moved 3 babies from Reeba and gave to Hops. Crossing fingers now that they will be ok. :) Thanks for the advice! Reeba's 11 babies Hops' 2 Big babies

Great! Thanks folks! :) There will be no concern of the foster mom harming the new additions? I am so worried she will hurt the new ones... btw, how many teats does a rabbit have? Want pictures? or seen one seen them all? I think they look so alien! lol I appreciate the responses! :)

I finally got some babies! I have NZ white does and a Calif/NZ red buck. One doe had 11 babies on Monday (or sunday night) day 31 (or late day 30). My other doe just now had 2 HUGE babies last night thursday day 34. Can doe one feed 11 babies ok? or can I put some of her babies with doe...

One of my NZ does quit eating a few days before she gave birth to 10 babies. She knocked the nest over and they all died. :( I am heartbroken!!! :( Its been a week and she is still not eating... she is getting very thin. I have given her fresh food but she just isnt eating... (she has...

Do you think the cardboard box is cooler than a wooden one? Or is it cut so its more open to be cooler? I could find boxes. :) I use boxes for brooding chicks, it works great for the same reason. Toss it and get a new one, no cleaning. lol Thanks for the suggestion! :)

Great, thanks for the reply! So if I design a regular wood one, just not put as much stuffin inside, that would be sufficient... good. Thanks!

Does anybody have a picture of a good warm weather nest box? I plan to breed my does next month and it will still be warm in Florida when they kindle. Would a wooden box be too hot for them? Or should I make one out of wire? Or half wood half wire? Any design tips or ideas, or even...

WOW! What a scare that was! Im glad you knew how and what to do and it worked! Your hutch is great! Looks like it would have lots of nice air flow and cool. But when its hot out, it just hot everywhere! My rabbits are good, thank you for asking! I havent seen the wet noses anymore...

Ok, I put more tin over the rabbits and removed the shade cloth from the east and west ends. I think I will try removing the shade cloth from the south (back) side as well - as the sun is basically straight up this time of year. I will try it and see if too much sun is coming in or not. Id...

Thanks! Great ideas! I was thinking of someday expanding and building more cages, which wouldnt be limited on the back by property line as these are. I could build that and move them to that new structure with all these helpful hints in mind. Yes, you have it correct, the front faces north...

No, I dont/havent done them things. I could spray them when I get home from work, but by then they are already hot - I will do that if it will help them. I leave for work at 5:30 am. Its not hot then. I get home about 3:30. If I put a frozen bottle out there, by the time it did get hot when...

GOOD! Thank you! Thanks for the info too. Im not sure how or if I can modify to move the shade cloth away from the cage itself. Its against the fence and the other side is not my propery (empty lot). Its in an open area so there is decent air flow, and the bottom of the cages get air in...

I think they are ok. I dont think its snuffles at all. Their muzzles were not wet yesterday as it was only 90 degrees and not as miserable hot. It was only on them super hot days and everybody was panting, sweating, hot. I took a picture, there is no drippy nose or eyes, no matting on...

I will take a picture tonight. Thanks

I have 3 rabbits, NZ white, California, about 6 months old. Monday I noticed they all had wet muzzles. I thought they were just sweating as the temperatures soared close to 100!! (east FL) Someone I was talking to said rabbits dont sweat, it is snuffles. ?! Researched, learned. But I...
