rabbits

Hello all! My husband and I started raising meat rabbits back in January and have been searching for some forums to get ideas/share our own experiences. Found this forum and joined hoping to learn. Right now we have 4 does including one from a champion bloodline, and 2 bucks (also from a...

My doe died unexpectedly this morning, for unknown causes. She has 6 kits that are all still alive, they are almost 3 weeks old. I really want to keep this litter alive, how can I do that? Can they eat hay and pellets yet? Is there some kind of formula I could bottle feed them? Please help...

My life has been so hectic lately that I havent been able to keep up with the forums as much as I've wanted to but I thought I would share our youtube channel and our FB page on here :]]. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBjdZBY01gFG-HQ_cYP6u7g (this is my fav video)...

Hatties Hoppy Hoppers journal. Currently I raise Mini Rex, Meat rabbits, "my does are NZW and buck is a Californian" and I have some lionheads. I started showing Mini Rex as of Oct 2017. Right now I have a litter of 7 and a half week old mini rexes and a litter of 6 week olds. I'll have to...

Havent been on here much due to my job but I thought I would post our new litter. We have 2 Bucks & 4 Does. Birthdate: 12/06/17 All with pedigree. https://www.facebook.com/Newfreewillrabbitry/

I breed rabbits for the FFA. I recently had a rabbit born that I believe is a double lion head. I would like to keep him. The problem is I’d have to keep him with my other buck (who is the father) Would they fight if I kept them together or will it work out since they would bond while one is a...

I recently started breeding rabbits for the FFA. I am currently on my second liter and my female Dutch rabbit gave birth to 9 babies, however, I came to check on them and suddenly the nest was in pieces, the kits were peed on and looked starving. I cleaned the nest and added fresh hay. Two of...

I'm looking into breeding mini rex rabbits for pets. And possibly a small amount of meat. I'm in southern Newhampshire. Most rabbit breeders I've seen are more northern. But I'm just wondering, are pet rabbits in demand? Or will I end up with only a few sold and have the rest to deal with? I...

I have been thinking about breeding rabbitsas a hobby. But I am wondering, what do people want? Do pet rabbits or meat rabbits sell better? Should I do crosses or purebred? I'd like to do crosses, but I don't want to be stuck with a bunch of mutts no one is interested in. What are some nice...

Hi y'all!! I've been raising buns for 15 years and keep them outside I currently have lionheads but I'm having trouble with them pooping on their wooden surface in the back of their pen it doesn't matter how often I clean ( however I do a thorough clean weekly and spot cleaning daily) they...

Hi y'all! So I've been raising rabbits for 15 years (minirex) and they were so easy to care for I have unlimited hay and pretty much food and everything was great I never had any issues. This year I decided to start raising lionheads and oh boy I'm going through trouble! I have 3 juniors and a...

Does anyone have recommendations on tattoos? I like the way the "gun" looks compared to the "stamp" ones. But i have no idea on price or what is actually best for our needs. I would love some opinions on the different types. And then comes the size. We have silver foxes so there ears a pretty...

I have a litter of six bunnies and one of them has one weepy eye, it is just it's left eye, I have looked at its teeth, I wasn't able to see much, but is isn't drooling. Does anyone have any suggestions for a treatment?

Hello, I have someone interested in buying one of my Angora does, but she wants to breed her to a Mini Rex buck, is it safe? Or should I advise her to get a more similar breed to a Rex?

Before I begin, I just want to say that @micah wotring made me do this. I mentioned I was thinking about starting a journal, and he made a ridiculous claim that left me no option but to start a journal as soon as I could. And that is now. :D =D Now, I probably won't be very good at this, cuz...

My first litter of mini lops is due tonight! My girls have been working hard for a couple days to make nice, warm nests. There was a mountain of white fur in one box when I woke up this morning, but no babies. I think it's going to happen soon, though! :D Here are some pictures of the parents...

So right now we have a large amount of Timothy hay we bought from farm and fleet. Both bucks refuse to eat any of the small pieces and it seems that more than half of it is to small to interest them. Should I expect this from all hay bought in a store? Would we have better luck buying from a...

Have a hard to settle doe I REALLY would love 2 litters out of this year. I Believe she is currently bred due in about 2 1/2 weeks. :fl In the past I usually allow plenty of time between litters because I have had plenty of does. Like 6 to 12 months... but she'll be 3 this year and in the 18...

Decided I should keep a journal or our adventure :] We have just started our rabbit. We have 3 Silver Foxes. 1 Doe (Ruby) and 2 Bucks (Topaz & Onyx). We where told Onyx was a boy and he was kept with his sister until we noticed some aggression. He was not very willing to let us look at his...

We have a rabbit who is about 8-10 months old. Ever since he reached maturity, he has had an incredibly aggressive case of ear mites! We have consistently used an oil-based medicated ointment called VetRX. The mites retreat for a few days, to a few weeks, and then they are back with a vengeance...
