We had to assist our doe deliver a breech kit. She only had one and he was very large. I had to use lube to help get him out. He died befor he was borm and the doe had already began to reabsorb the placenta. The buck and doe were of the same breed. Infact the buck is about a pound smaller...

I appreciate your diligence in research. SO many buy lionheads, or other animals, because they are cute. Once the novelty wears off the animals become neglected. It sounds like your buns will be well looked after :D

From my personal experience, the smaller the breed the better they tolerate the heat. However, you do not want small rabbits if you are raising for meat. I had Californian as a kid. If my memory serves me correctly, they seemed to do ok, but could not go long (hours) with out water. I...

My son breeds lionheads. I would NOT recomend lion heads for a beginner. Some of our lionheads are our easiest to care for (our single manes), but the others are definatelyt the hardest to care for (our double manes). You have to make sure they are on a high fiber diet as they get wool block...

I love your nine hole setup! I hope your daughter stays interested enough to keep them clean. :)

My mom has 4 metal dog crates that she uses. She uses a tarp for rain and snow shelter. All of her bunnies are very healthy so as long as you keep it clean they should work great!

Pine cones. I had never thought of that. There are two large pine trees across the street. Free rabbit toys!:)

Becareful with the carpet. If they eat it they may have a hard time digesting the fibers and it could cause a blockage. My daughter likes to gever her bunnies "play time" in an outdoor cage. They get to dig at the ground and nibble ont he grass.

I would paint. The rabbit spray will absorb into the walls. I spray my walls with vinegar but wish I had painted it. I did paint the floor with a good quality floor paint. This keeps melting snow from destroying the floor and I can hose out the shed if need be.

Buy them toys! Baby chew toys (the keys work well). My bunnies like to pick these up and throw them. Wooded spools to chew on are good as well. You can also take your empty toilet paper tube and stuff it full of hay. This offers them a toy, something to chew on, and a treat, all in one!

My single main laion heads molt like normal rabbits, but my double main lion heads tend to pull out their wool when they molt. The bonus to this is that their wool grows back twics as thick and puffy. Our Senior doe is gorgeous a month or so after she is done molting.

They spray I have is in a deep dark blue bottle called Repel-X. (Sorry as earlier I posted that this was a black bottle) I bought it in th horse section of Family Farm and Home. Using this and keeping the drop pans cleaned has been working great for us. Just make sure the spray isn't...

I tried something new this year. I bought a spray from the local farm store that is meant to be sprayed on stall walls and around doors of barns to keep flys away from horses and cows. I make sure that the rabbit's food is covered incase of a breeze and I spray the trim around the doore and...

My daughter shows dutch. She has two does that have what looks like the head of a pimple on their vent. If they are larger and you wipe them the white "pops" and goes away for a few days. They are more oval shaped thatn round. One lady told me that this is vent disease, but it looks nothing...
