Update:
The kits all lived! Kitten milk replacer worked wonderfully, and they absolutely loved the calf manna. All of the rabbits are healthy and living, I sold 4 of them and 2 are outside bouncing around as healthy as ever. Thanks everyone so much for the help!
There is a rabbit show coming up this Saturday, and I'm bringing 8 rabbits. The show is only about 45 mins away, so it will be a short drive. Unfortunately I have a fairly small car and won't be able to fit all the travel cages in the back/passenger seats, so I'm going to need to put some of...
Ok so I can feed the other adult rabbits the calf manna too? Cause I’d hate to have to buy a 10 lb bag if I’m only using it till the kits get big lol. So should I mix in the calf manna with the regular pellets, and also give them a milk replacement? Would it be better to put the milk replacement...
Yes, they’re eating pellets and hay.
Ok, thanks for the help! I’ve never dewormed any of mine before, where do you get that? Also, where can I get calf manna and how do I feed it to them?
The babies seem healthy and happy but they’re hungry. I have another experienced doe, should I put the babies in her cage? She’s not pregnant or anything but I heard they’re supposed to eat their mother’s Droppings, so maybe they could eat hers? What would be best for them?
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...
really! yeah we have a metal barrel with lid and have had no mice in that one, but the mouse did get into the plastic barrel. although there were no holes chewed through the barrel itself, i think we may have left the lid off for a day or two and they must have gotten in there. well thank you...
Opened my cracked corn bag to quite a surprise, a live mouse was in it! went to grab a rubber mallet and come back and smash it but it got away. i looked closely and discover a hole chewed through the bag.... i then discovered more holes in the horse grain, rabbit pellet, and chicken feed...
she is a purebred mini lop. yes i have both the parents. the mom is a chestnut agouti, and although i dont have her pedigree i know that her mom was a blue and all 3 of her brothers were blues too. and then the dad is a solid black, and i do have his pedigree. okay i just checked and there is...
Hi so i have an 11 week old mini lop doe and i can't figure out what color she is. I was thinking maybe a fawn or something? shes kind of a golden creamy tan all over with whitish tips.
okay well i put a pic of the actual rabbit above but i don't think it worked so just to be safe ill try...
well so unfortunately we had one duckling die :( we think the male duck bit it probably because we had seen him bite them before. so we separated the mom and babies from the drake and theyre doing well so far now. i was wondering when we will be able to tell their gender? i was planning on just...
hi my broody duck hen was sitting on her eggs and she hatched 6 of them! i've had ducklings before but never had a duck actually hatch them. not really sure what to do here... i got them some chick starter (i checked and it is okay for ducklings too) and i gave them a low water pan so they could...
oh okay thank you very much. its been 5 days and she's doing very good so far. her hips, ribs and withers are already filling out. we found out she's actually part arab so that explains some of how she always seems to look skinny, but she definitely did need to fill out some more. but yeah we're...
thank you so much, this was very helpful. actually just yesterday we contacted a lady we know and moved her over to her house, and now she is on 2 acres of tall green good quality pasture and we are planning to pasture her there for the summer. we got some "safechoice" grain, as it is called...
really okay so it was probably the heat. thank you so much if i had known that i would've brought them inside for the day. and the top ones looked normal but the ones on the bottom did look a little flattened. well thank you very much for letting me know, next time i'll be sure to bring the nest...
