    Ammonia

    Today I purchased two young bunnies, 10 weeks. The breeder's barn had zero air circulation - no windows, fans, etc. and the ammonia was overpowering. They seem otherwise healthy and the adults appeared okay. I'm just curious if there could be any hidden health issues from breathing in the...

    Can someone ID this photo as a “grass” or “weed?”

    It looks like Japanese Stiltgrass which is considered an invasive weed.

    Aww not your fault, nature takes its course. Unfortunately, we're left to tidy up after and feel the guilt.

    Please help. Sick doe?

    I posted earlier in the breeding forum that I was concerned 1 of my does had abandoned her kits. But so think she might be ill. When I checked everything this evening, the doe laid down, head on cage floor and seemed sick. Listless. She is 2 weeks post kindle. I've not dealt with a sick...

    Doe appears to have abandoned litter

    I've never had this issue before. Any advice appreciated! The doe is about 9-10 months, this is her first litter. She made a great nest and up until last 2 days has taken excellent care of the kits. I had noticed her kits are smaller and less active than those in the other 2 litters born at...

    Help with a colour?

    YouTube: Flat Wabbit Rabbitry "Color Genetics 101 Series" Its several 10-15 min videos explaining each locus and he shows examples of the color or pattern using his rabbits. It's very well done. Take notes!

    Big day in the Rabbitry

    You're getting 30?? I usually breed Rex but these are crossed. 1. Cali doe, Rex buck. 2. Rex doe, Champagne d'Argent buck. 3. Rex doe, NZ buck. The Rex grow out slowly so I'm looking to see who does best this summer in grow pens. Will continue with pure Rex's too because I love them.

    Rabbit Hutch Build

    This is a really nice build! Good job! I'm happy to see others go thru many of the same process we do when tackling a project. Haha! Our go-to phrase is: "it's not a project unless there's blood" lol and inevitably, something somewhere ends up scratched, knicked, jabbed, etc and one of us is...
