Also @Bunnylady the white kits have weird spots that are discolored...does that mean they will be broken in their coat color?

@Bunnylady The only,other buck I have is a REW. What colors would that combo produce possibly? I was thinking about keeping a buck from this litter. Which would be the best option from just a color perspective?

Just had a litter of 9 born this morning by my seal rex doe! She was bred to a gold tipped steel agouti buck. There was 7 black skinned kits and 2 pink. Any guesses at what colors might come out of this litter? Ill try and post pictures as they grow.

No, Im not against it...but I didnt think about it. Already disposed of the body...

I have 6 kits that are 4.5 weeks old. Theyve all been growing well and have not been sick or anything. I have been blessed with no sicknesses of any sort in my rabbitry yet. Yesterday, I went out and one of the babies was dead by the door of the cage. There were no bite marks or anything to...

Well, my kits are 2 1/2 weeks old and growing fast. After all the research I've done it shocked me how fast they grow. You cant comprehend it until you have some before your eyes. I'm considering keeping one of the doe's from this litter as future breeding stock. What do you personally look...

Yes they are both supposed to be New Zealands. The REW doe I have is pedigreed and REW as far back as the breeder I got her from had records. The buck I dont have a pedigree but is supposed to be full NZ. But with him you can never be sure. Looking forward to seeing how these kits turn out...

Heres some pictures of the kits. The one that died was pink skinned. It died at birth though.

@Bunnylady my breeding plan is to get breed stock and eventually show (not completely sure on that yet). Right now I raise them for meat and breed stock. So it probably would be a good idea to raise them to one color. I have a line of REWs that i keep going, but thought it would be neat to...

Any recommended reading for better understanding genetics? Im wanting to have a better chance at predicting the colors of kits for my breeding program

Trying to do my best to understand rabbit genetics. Honestly though...theres a lot to it. :) Can be a little difficult. What color is this guy? He's my main buck and he is supposed to full New Zealand.

Appreciate the advice! Need to figure out how I am going to do my own pedigree when the time comes. Any recommendations? And the final word on the breed Im probably going to get is the Am Chin. I cant find a Silver Fox breeder that has them within 5 hours of me. Crazy! I did find one...

I know the guy in ocala. He actually just shut down. Its been tough trying to find anyone

Im currently raising New Zealands for meat and also just for the fun of raising rabbits. Its quite an enjoyable hobby. I would like to raise one of the breeds that many are saying are on the conservation list as a breed. For me, its come down to Silver Fox or Am. Chins. Does anyone have any...

I'm looking to add the Silver Fox into my setup to continue the heritage breed as a purebred line and to crossbreed some with my new zealands. Does anyone know where I could find a breeder thats sells breeding stock? I am in between Gainesville and Lake City in Florida. Any suggestions would...

I forgot about parasites. And fleas and ticks in my area are really bad this year too.

I plan on three weeks after the kindle date to rebreed the doe. And at 5 weeks from kindle date to wean kits.

My New Zealand White just had kits yesterday, but I'm trying to makw sure I'm,prepared for the next steps. Ive done tons of research and read Storeys guide but would just like to get some imput from some of you. I'm,planning on weaning at 5 weeks and rebreeding at 3 weeks as they are for...

They are inside an old wooden "shed" with cut out windows for an occasional breeze. Yes, they are in a nesting box filled with hay and the mother has pulled fur and put all over them. And they are cage setup.

My New Zealand White doe just had kits about 6-7 hours ago. This is her first litter. She had 7 but one was already dead by the time I inspected the litter box. 5 of the remaining are black and 1 is pink. Any advice or precautions would be appreciated as this is my first litter as well. I...
