I have NZW does...
I got all three of these about a week ago, and the does are already relaxed and friendly-acting.
The buck? Not so much....
He's still just as skittish as when I brought him home, and still sits all "bunched up"..not stretched out like the does...
All three are the same age (3 months), give or take a week...
His poop looks fine, but his appetite isn't as good as the does...
He didn't seem this way at the place I got him from, or, at least I didn't notice it.
This is a reputable rabbitry that I got them from, no shady backyard "rabbit-mill"..
He says to not worry, give the buck a few more days...monitor his poop, and if anything changes, to let him know.
Since Altex are mainly meat rabbits...are they maybe genetically less on the "friendly" side than the NZW's, as some of them are sold for pets...?
