Nola (LH) with her two teletuby babies
Laila (FD) bigger sister - lost all her 6 kits
Mia (TD) smaller sister, with one of her 3 normal looking kits, same age as teletubies
Another one of Mia's normal looking kits.
His little feets turn in and he's widder than he is tall and dare I even say wider than he is long! If he hadn't had an even smaller peanut sibling I would think he was one!
Hello,
I got a new purebred netherland dwarf buck and for the first time I'm getting peanuts.
So now that the babies are getting older I'm a little concerned about some odd apearance issues but let me paint you a picture in words and photos.
I started my foray into dwarf breeds with some...
I have 4 does that were due (day 31) on the 1st.
One kindled 6 yesterday.
One kindled 1 tonight and now is acting weird.
The other 2 aren’t really acting like they’re about to have kits.
They all were happy when they got their nesting boxes.
They all had different baby daddies so it’s not just...
Hey guys, one of my bucks constantly sheds but now he’s starting to look really weird, some of it is growing back shorter and some is hairless! Do we know what’s happening? Also what do I do to fix this?
So we're two days in and I had my numbers wrong last time so it's actually 6/9 alive and they are gaining weight like pros and mom is super protective but luckily is willing to be distracted by dandelions 😂
We are going to pick up our cows from a province over and leave tonight so I had my...
We woke up to 4 babies in a nest in the nest box, one under developed DOA, and one ice cube near the edge of the nesting box. I've warmed it up and I think it's going to make it so 5/7! Pretty good considering how this started! Hopefully she has it all figured out now 🤞
This afternoon when I got home and was doing the evening feeding she had a second one. She had it on her resting pad and then I think she cleaned it up before moving away from it. It started squawking which is how I found out it was there. I scooped it up and it was still warm so I tucked it...
Well here's a question for you. One of our new does is due with her first litter tomorrow. She hasn't built a nest yet and she hasn't pulled any fur yet but this morning she had half a baby in her cage. My BF is worried she's going to cannibalize all babies now but from what I can see on the...
We decided to cull as he is the runt and has had some other struggles and I felt he must be in quite some pain with the swelling he was experiencing :hit
I've no idea! It's swollen and red and peeling
I soaked his bum in a Epsom salt bath and then put preparation H on the swelling ( I have it for tattooing their ears so I figure if it's recommended for that hopefully it's safe?)
So I finally found a vet that I could get to help me with the rabbits and we obtained baytril to put in the water. So we are commencing 10-14 days of treatment and hopefully this all gets cleared up after that! It kinda hurts my heart to listen to them sneeze and wheeze so I'll be happy when...
The days run together so this update is kind of sequential but I'm not really sure what happened on which day anymore 😂
So the above baby that needed a booster meal did well and has been gaining weight ever since. We had 3 more that lost weight and needed to be fed but they all seem to be...
Could also be that they aren't handling the switch from mom's milk to real food very well. I had a runt in an earlier litter who I had been supplementing his feedings from mom with some hand feeding. When he started to eat real food he bloated, got cold and stiff etc. I thought maybe it was...
