I have asked this question before, but unfortunately, I have not found a solution to my cage issues. One buck and one doe. My 10 & 12 year olds are in charge of feeding and cleaning. The doe does not like to be carried or picked up and she also chews on all the wood. They are currently in...

Attached is a pic of the hutch I’m considering. The part on top is 27x16x20 and the bottom is 85x24x20 except the height under the upper part is less than 24”. It would be odd the ground with wire for the floor but I’d have a couple tiles in there so they wouldn’t always be on the wire. we will...

I had a rabbit duo about 1 1/2 years ago. I bred them and raised the kits and sold them. I ended up getting rid of my duo because I got pregnant and had complications so I didn’t have the time to devote to my rabbits that they needed. (We have them to a friend who has rabbits and experience...

How scary! So glad you got to your rabbits in time and you walked away with with only scratches and bruisers. Sending thoughts as you deal with your clean up efforts

Perfect! Thank you! I have some food grade diatomaceous earth on hand and I will definitely try that first. Do you think I should treat all my rabbits or just blossom, who I’ve noticed has the mites for sure? Mites are pretty contagious and although blossom and the kits are separated, sometimes...

Whew! That helps ease my mind. Thanks for the reply Any suggestions on the skin mites? It looks like it’s just a small spot between her shoulders. Maybe 1” diameter. There are a couple dandruff looking spots, like 4, that I noticed. Upon inspection, it looks like she’s scratched and has a, well...

i thoroughly clean out my rabbits cages weekly. Take the ‘drawers’ out, spray it with an organic rabbit cage cleaner and spray it with the hose. If they really soil the straw, I replace it every few days. It been blistering hot here lately, mid to upper 90’s. I’m cleaning cages now and I just...

Yay! Thanks for confirming

I’m having trouble determining the gender of my kits. They turned six weeks on Wednesday. I’ve searched photos and watched videos but I’m still unsure. Maybe if I have someone tell me my ‘guess’ is correct, I’ll be more confident. Here are some pics. The first two pics I think are male. Third...

They are leaving the nest regularly and nibbling hay and straw. I’ve seen a few nibbling on the green parts of fodder I give mama. But now I’ve noticed some of them nibbling on mamas poop. Not cecotropes but the round dry poops. I keep the cage clean but there’s no way I can clean every poop...

Blossom started building her nest almost two weeks before she was due. She kept it clean and dry. When I gave her the actual nest box, she completely ignored it. She had her kits in HER nest (which is a great nest and she’s being a wonderful mama bunny) The nest is still clean and dry with lots...

Right on schedule, day 31-32. Monday she was due and Tuesday morning when I checked on her, her nest was FULL of moving fur! Ten in total but one didn’t make it, so we have nine living kits. She did an amazing job! She separated the one that didn’t make it to the outside of the nest, away from...

Yes, this is her first litter. When she started her nest so early, i though ‘she’s going to be a wonderful mommy bunny!’ Thank you for your response, very helpful info

I don’t know if I’m counting due date correctly. Please help. Blossom was due yesterday, I think? She was bred on March 22 so April 21 shouldve day 31. Am I correct? Or is today, April 22, day 31? Do I count the day they breed as day one or the day after breeding as day one? I was thinking, if...

This is the first time Blossom has ever been bred. Her meeting with Boomer on March 22 I believe was successful. I was wondering a few days ago if it actually took, but last night when I went to feed and check on the buns, there she was, mouth full of straw and I saw her little nest. So my...
