I would assume Boy too for now, can you take a few more pictures?

Right, remove the paper. I give my rabbits tree branches (willow, apple, ash.... ) to gnaw on, keeps them quite occupied and satisfies that urge to have something to do with their teeth. It's quite healthy stuff too.

Wow, 18lbs is a lot. My herd has some checkered giants in their heritage but max out at abot 10-11lbs now. My first permanent house bunny, Herr Hase, had quite some of the features, like the longish slender build with rather strong bones. Great character. I also like that I don't easily step on...

I would cut out fruits completly for now, and also veggies that are high on carbs and sugar. That he's eating plenty of hay is great. My rabbits mostly have such episodes when they are shedding their fur, and ingest too much. I always treat it as an emergency when I notice that they aren't...

The kits look perfectly ok, imo.

Good luck, I hope she recovers. That she's eating on her own is great, what meds do you give? The symptoms you describe sound very familiar to me. When my Chantal started to walk again after that EC outbreak I had to adjust some things, like putting side boards on all ramps, and eliminating...

If there is a scab on it I would just leave it be. A picture would help.

There isn't much we can tell but to see a rabbit savvy vet ASAP. My Chantal, 5, had an EC outbreak this year rather similiar symptoms, wasn't able to get up, head tilt etc. If it's that, the sooner treatment starts the better are the chances. Chantal pulled through, with little symptoms left...

Oh boy, what have I gotten myself into?;) Spent hours fixing the fence, closed every tiny loophole, let him out of his hutch, go to check the gate - turn around and he's right behind me, on a doe (luckily a spayed one), trying to do what rabbits do best. Plucked him off and put him back into...

Apart from giving simethicone and some water the first thing I do is making them move, give belly massages (putting the rabbit an my knee, facing me and rocking the whole rabbit) for some minutes every hour. I try to get them really angry to get them out of that apathy, like holding hay or yummy...

Well, no way to tell for sure but to wait. Her age definitly isn't ideal, but does doing just fine under this circumstances isn't unheard of. Sorry that your vet situation is as dire, uhm, that's just me ranting from far, far away. My sister works in a vet clinic around Boston though.

Well, I guess I do some things different than other people. I do not worry about any aggressions. Also, there is a reason for this thread title, meant to point out that I'm not new to rabbits, and not very likely to succumb to an emotional decision like this. Those who know me know why. I do...

What makes you think it's a hybrid? What species is it, where do you live? Very different answers between Europe and the US. A european rabbit, domestic or not, that young would have been exceptional lucky to survive from that age anyway, let alone out of the nest after being dragged out of it...

Couldn't get any pictures when he was out in the garden, my camera just is too slow :D, so a few pics from inside the hutch. By now I don't let him out with the girls anymore, they know he's a boy, and he starts to get an idea about that too :D. I think his left ear is straighting out, not...

No, not really. Breeding siblings isn't ideal but inbreeding is a quite misunderstood topic in rabbits. If you keep doing it for generations without culling out every negative trait that pops up and let it accumulate that's how you create bad genetics. If you do it right, that's how all our...

All I would right now do is to set up their enclosure in a way so that they can get out of each others eyes if they feel like it, and no dead ends. An elevated level or platform can help too. They are both fixed? Anyway, springtime can be "interesting" sometimes. Keep an eye on them anyway...

Ok, sorry that wasn't meant hostile. just getting a response rules out most of all spam. I'm still not sure what exactly you try to tell us. Yes, a lot of rabbits live in squalid conditions, backyard hutch pets, some meat rabbits, rabbits that proofed to be too much for their owners... Don't...

I think that's an ad from someone without experience, and it wouldn't work out anyway. Also, how those selling platforms work can be very confusing. If you are interested try to establish personal contact. If your post is just about how bad the world is, well, no comment. EDIT: This your...

Well, now I've got one more buck than I planned for... A meat breeder down the road, old guy, didn't latch his hutches properly weeks ago, whole litter escaped (***** didn't tell me), one day on my way to the train station I noticed a small rabbit in the bushes. Took me 3 days to build enough...

Hm, did you ever get the feeling normal people could think we bunny people are kind of wierd?:D ;)
