24 x 24 is fine for smaller breed rabbits such as the Mini Rex. I have my rabbits in cages that I believe are about 25 x 25, they're hand made wire cages with pull-out trays (i personally didn't make them though, I got them from another breeder who was selling out and getting rid of supplies)...

Yes, they can breed through wire. Keep them separated and keep the bucks cage away from the does so you won't have any more accidental litters.

cool, thanks. That's something I'll definitely look into doing.

Hey, i've seen a lot of videos on ustream of puppies and rabbits and stuff live, and I (not being too up to date on all the new technology) was just wondering how that all works. Can you just use any webcam to make a live video? I was interested in doing something similar to what you did with...

usually in the morning or evening, but i have had does kindle in the afternoon also. I find that my does kindle earlier, usually on the 30th day, when they have larger litters and on the 31st day for smaller litters. Also, the time you bred the doe could effect the time of day she kindles...

I found a site that said they usually have 4-6 kits. So, she probably is just carrying a larger litter. Let us know how it goes!

She shouldn't be in pain. Hopefully all goes well. What breed is she? Larger breeds can have several kits, smaller breeds average 3-4, but i have had a Holland Lop successfully raise 8 kits.

I have had problems with people backing out at the last second and no shows. That's when I changed to a first come first serve basis. IF someone wants me to hold a rabbit for them then they must put down a down payment. Unless they plan on coming to get the rabbit in the next couple of days...

i breed my rabbits for show for 4-H and also sell quite a few of my rabbits to pet homes. I have found that right now there is a big demand for pet rabbits. My lop bunnies sell like crazy to pet homes. Sometimes breeders need to get rid of nice quality animals because of cage space, but they...

\ Depends on how many rabbits are using the same litter box. You can empty it every day or every few days, or whenever it gets full.

put hay in and/or around the litter box. When they don't use it, move their droppings into their litter box. If they have a specific corner in the cage where they like to go, put the litter box there. Hope this helps!

You mean like a litter box? I have litter trained bunnies before, but now I just keep all my bunnies in wire stackable cages. But, when I did use litter boxes i put hay around their litter box and when they didn't use it, I moved their droppings into their litter box. Most of my bunnies...

Cool! I just got a 5-hole rabbit hutch a while ago for 45$. Each hole is about 2ft x 2ft. Its pretty nice. I love finding good deals.

Ok, this may seem weird but I've actually found that in sexing baby bunnies, its easier to tell that the males are males when its warmer out and that the females are females when its cooler out. But, if you stretch the hole far enough it should be easier to tell. Its hard to explain but with...

Over 70$. I had a rabbit that had snuffles, he was kept outside in a hutch far away from my other rabbits though. His nose was always clogged up and he could hardly breathe, his paws had yellow crust on them from wiping his nose. He was the sweetest rabbit ever, but I hardly handled him...
