Gorgeous Creme D' Argent rabbits are great as pets or for homesteaders. I'm getting out of rabbits and am selling my whole herd. I have does of various ages and two bucks. The bucks are 10 dollars each, and one (older) doe is also 10. The remaining four does that I have are 15.00 each, firm, as...

I have a three day old doeling not doing super well. Let me give you her history: She is one of triplets from my doe Molly, a very good mom. This one is much smaller than her two brothers, and was thinner at birth, but drank colostrum right away (I was there watching) and seemed to do great for...

My doe Ginger stepped on a nail yesterday. It was a small rusty nail connected to a small piece of wood (she had been free ranging in our field). I saw her holding her leg off the ground. The nail was fully embedded in her hoof. The piece of wood made it simple to yank it out, and soaked her...

Okay, here is the deal. I have no trouble determining the sex of an adult rabbit. But these kits! I need to sell the males and keep the females from a group my doe just produced for me, and I seem to be having trouble distinguishing. At this point, all four look remotely alike, kind of a slit...

I have a five week old bunny, Creme D' Argent, whose one ear started drooping today. Everything looks normal, rabbit is eating, drinking, hopping and going potty like normal. Doesn't seem to have any pain when I touch it. No parasites I can see although I can't see all the way down the ear...

I have a nice young buck, about a year old, that seems to be developing a crusty eye. It is just one side, the eye is not red, but it is weepy and develops a crust. He is eating and drinking fine. He also (this week) suddenly seems to be shedding excessively. It did get hotter this past week...

I have an older doe (6) who has failed to conceive. She seems to have a continual discharge from her vulva, light colored, not smelly, but constant and it creates a crusty area when it dries. She is eating and drinking well, weight is good and coat looks nice. I tried cleaning her really really...

I have a wonderful young Creme who produced her first kits for me earlier this year. They are grown and we re-bred her last month, and she was due on the 30th. Nothing.....until today! Is that unusual to have them so late? And there was no indication that she was prepping either, she didn't...

I vaccinated my goats with the recommended goat vaccine (CD and T I believe) that I purchased from the feed store. I'm familiar with giving injections so I think my technique was correct, but I see that in the areas where I gave them, in all three goats, they got a raised area, a little bump. I...

Okay, I have a small herd (five) meat rabbits, Creme d' Argents including one that is pregnant. We have had unseasonably mild and cool weather so far since I have owned them (I'm a rabbit newbie) and we are now approaching our first days of predicted hot weather (over 80 degrees). This is a...

Are there ways to increase fertility in older female rabbits? I have a lovely doe "Nana" who has gone through three false pregnancies after breeding (to two different bucks) but has not produced anything after three tries. She appears to be in good health although I am somewhat new to rabbit...

I had three nigerian dwarf mixed kids from my does, we banded the boys just before they were eight weeks old because we saw them showing interest in the doeling. They are long gone and sold, she is now four months old and her tummy is HUGE and I mean huge. She does have a very good appetite...

My does have very unequal udders, meaning I'm getting more than 3/4 of their total milk from one side consistently despite trying to milk them both out. They are FFs no longer nursing kids, I'm getting a good amount (about a gallon a day each from mini nubians) but it is primarily from one side...

My goats are huge pigs when it comes to foods they know and are familiar with. But they don't like to have anything new introduced. I have two does I'm milking, and I read that giving them alfalfa cubes soaked in water put into their grain pain at milking time would slow them down. So I...

I have a five year old doe, Creme D' Argent, who has been bred several times before I had her (successfully). I've bred her twice since owning her. Both times the same thing happened. The breeding looked quite successful. About two weeks into her pregnancy, she pulled hair, rather early I...

I have a nice young buck (Creme D' Argent) who is otherwise in excellent health and good spirits, but around his left eye, some of the hair is missing. At first I thought it looked red around there, and then I realized when looking closely that it isn't red, he is just missing hair around the...

Colorful, adorable, and friendly, these two disbudded wethers are vaccinated and ready for their new homes. Dam raised from a clean herd. They are a smidge larger than a typical nigerian dwarf, especially the brown and white wether. They are 1/4 nubian. The black and white one has blue eyes...

What is the rationale and the timing with regard to kits being parted from their mothers? How many weeks old should they be? What is the youngest or the oldest that they should be taken from mom? Thanks in advance!

I have some beautiful purebred rabbits with tatoos in their ear from the breeder. I'm not planning on showing rabbits, but I do plan on breeding them. Do I need to learn to tatoo? If so, how is it done? What rabbits need this, ones being sold to someone who wanted to show rabbits? I don't...

I am soooooooooooooo excited, we are getting our rabbits this weekend....and I am meeting the seller through BYH, is that not cool? I'm getting four Creme D' Argent rabbits, two breeding pairs essentially, when the younger two grow up a little more. We are going to raise them as meat rabbits...
