    ARBA Showing': is there a definitive color guide?

    Title says it all. Looking for a "what is and what is not a showable color" for Holland Lop and Netherland Dwarf in ARBA competition. I have the pdf guide they publish defining 4 class and 6 class colors, but it doesn't go into detail. Specifically interested in finding out if this is showable...

    Juliana delivery

    Just starting. Here's the first one. Looks... Piggy? She's delivered 2 so far and both seem OK. Gonna be a long night. Color's a little odd because red heat lamp and camera flash make it odd.

    More neat ND colors! Looking for some insight.

    When this litter was initially born, I thought it was 3 sable points and one blue silver marten. That's what the buck and doe in the pairing were, respectively. Today when I was cleaning cages, I got a good look at them, and now I'm really not sure. I could use some insight. I'll mention what...

    ND does taking kits out of the box? (week old)

    This is a new one on me. Both of my Netherland does who delivered last week (28 june) are tossing kits out of the box today. Kits appear to be healthy and not lethargic or struggling, so I'm not exactly sure what's going on or whether I should intervene. Each doe has 4 kits. Both does buried...

    Bunny allergic to alfalfa?

    So this is a totally new one to me. Family friend bought a holland from us several months ago. Recently she started sneezing and got an initial diagnosis of bunny sniffles from the vet, along with antibiotics. After the meds have been administered, she's still sneezing, but ONLY when she's in...

    Chicken, pig, and tortoise safe pesticide?

    We have a pro Pest control company service our house monthly, but for the past 18 mos or so I have not been letting them do the back yard because of our menagerie's daily presence in every corner. That's led to a problem with red and black ants, crickets, black widows and scorpions. I'd really...

    Color confirmation for Netherland Dwarves

    OK, so if I'm correctly understanding the genome correctly, the 3 black ND's on the left of this image should be black otters because they have the tan triangles behind ears. Did I read that correctly? Looking for a confirmation or correction. I know it's a best guess based on one photo, but...

    HL doe nesting 10 days early. First time breeding. False?

    I have a Holland Lop Doe who we bred 18 mar and is due ~13 April. This morning I noticed she scrounged up everything she could get hold of in her enclosure to build a nest in one corner, so I tossed in a box, and she's going to town on it. My concern is it's too early (10 days out) for her to...

    I like to point my camera at things.

    Not necessarily at people, though I do some of that too. More... Things, of all types. See, Things don't sneeze, blink, cry, complain they look overweight, ask you to photoshop out their warts, etc... Things, for the most part, sit there and let you work. Here are some of the things (and...

    Great horned owl: Threat to a pig?

    This is a new one for me. Recently we've had a Great Horned Owl move in and claim our neighborhood. While not super common, recently they've begun to urbanize on the outer edges of Metro Phoenix (where I'm at). I'm super thrilled because not only do I happen to love owls, but I hate pigeons, and...
