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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

on March 22, i put my doe and buck together. Poor blossom (doe) ran from boomer and seemed scared. After a few runs around the cage, she just laid there. Boomer had, what i think, was a successful fall off. They both just laid there for a couple minutes. Then blossom started running again, this...

I don’t have any chickens yet, I’m still in the research stages. I found answers to most of my questions but in finding those answers, I’m left with more questions. The reason I’m considering getting chickens is to have fresh eggs for my family at a lower cost than we currently pay. Also...

Now that the weather is getting nice, I plan to let my buns go in the tractor for 4-5 hours each day (unless it’s raining, or is it ok that they’re in the tractor in the rain? It has a covered corner) I currently give a large bunny salad in the morning, unlimited hay and pellets in the evening...

I’ve had my 2 rabbits (Blossom and Boomer) for about 3 weeks. Even before making the commitment and getting them, i decided I would like to grow and feed fodder. Of course transitioning them slowly. I am doing great with alfalfa but it’s expensive. I want to have barley and wheat as my main...

Hello I’m an experienced mommy to humans (with seven children) but I’m new to being a bunny mommy. I just got my first two rabbits last night. Both are a New Zealand and Rex mix. Blossom is 4 months old and Boomer is 3 1/2 years. I have a two level hutch outside with Blossom on top and Boomer...
