    Very strange behavior, do I need to take to vet?

    I have a 4 month old American Chinchilla doe that is acting so strange. We got her about a month ago and she lives in a bucket burrow enclosure. She is lifting her head and breathing really hard, not super fast like rabbits do when they’re hot but just hard. She usually runs straight into her...

    3 week old baby bunnies dying):

    I have not been giving any probiotics! I had no idea this was an issue! We just moved them from their nest to our bunny tractor. We have another rabbit in there right now (my girl Rusti, one of our other bottle babies) she’s about 14 weeks old and when we put those babies in there with her they...

    3 week old baby bunnies dying):

    That could be possible! We couldn’t very well leave them to die after their mom died and we didn’t have another doe to foster or we definitely would’ve gone that route instead.

    3 week old baby bunnies dying):

    We are using kitten replacement milk with a splash of heavy cream added. We’ve had pretty good success hand raising bunnies in the past with similar situations.

    3 week old baby bunnies dying):

    We have a litter of 7 American Chinchilla rabbits that were born on Mother’s Day. When they were a week old their mother died of a heart attack so we have been bottle feeding them since then. They have all seemed healthy and have been growing so well ever since! Until this weekend. One of our...

    My mama rabbit died suddenly..

    Her kits are 11 days old now and their mom was our only doe. We are bottle feeding them now and they have kept each other warm pretty well. They are all starting to open their eyes!

    My mama rabbit died suddenly..

    We raise American chinchilla rabbits. We got our doe, Jessica in early March. Her previous owners said that she had never been bred before so we went ahead and bred her that week. The day after breeding her she had a litter of 11 kits, only 4 made it. About a month later we bred her again...

    ISO American Chinchilla Rabbit with pedigree in TX, NM, OK or CO

    We are looking to replace either our buck or our doe American Chinchilla Rabbit. The doe we have now is very aggressive and it makes it super hard to check on her babies or even to reach in and feed her. I don't feel comfortable going out of town and asking others to watch her because she has...

    Yes! I believe that she is. They all have full bellies and aren’t showing any signs of dehydration or lethargy

    My American Chinchilla rabbit had a surprise litter about 9 days ago. We got her from another farm 15 days ago, they said she’d never been bred so we went ahead and bred her 10 days ago then the next day she had 11 babies. She ate one of the babies then we gave her a nesting box and she...

    Hello!

    My name is Madison Harrison. I am new to backyard herds. I’ve been raising New Zealand rabbits for almost a year now and we just switched to American Chinchilla rabbits.

    Very bizarre breeding experience. Please help.

    My husband and I just bought 2 American Chinchilla rabbits from a breeder in Colorado for $110 on Saturday. The buck (Gandalf) is over a year old and proven. The doe (Jessica) is 8 months old and unproven, or so we were told. We brought them back to the Texas panhandle and tried to breed her on...
