Hollands are a Dwarf breed, right? Could they be just false dwarfs (no dwarf gene, true dwarfs have 1, peanuts 2)

Actually, I think what you really want is a dog :D Lops are just rabbits too, with higher risk of ear problems. Meat rabbits can be great characters, and are bred to be stress resistant and calm - it's no fun working with skittish animals. Most of mine are from that stock, but if a rabbit...

The only repellent I use to protect their outdoor hutchges from beeing eaten is diluted rabbit urine - they don't chew soiled stuff, and imo it does protect the wood parts. Some "deterrents" that are bitter may work with dogs, rabbits do like bitter stuff. Inside, no way around bunny proofing...

My take on this topic: There were more studies done, and although the rates used as deadbeat argument (mainly in the US because of a quite successful campaign to fix cats and dogs to reduce the load on shelters that ran for decades and became a project for generations of activists, and became a...

Hi, the temporary redness isn't something I would necessarily associate with ear mites, I would rather think that the rabbit could be in heat stress, they get rid of heat through their ears. You wouldn't see mites, or the symptoms, on those pictures, you would need to look straight into the ear...

I just held the ear straight up, put some drops (maybe 3 or 4, long time ago) of oil in as deep as I could aim and massaged the base a little to spread it inside the ear channel. You'll need to keep that treatment up for some time, to get all of them - the eggs aren't affected, so you'll have...

Oh, that's sad :(. That's the drawback of electronic storage, without constantly maintained multible backups everything is as good as gone. I should make a photo book every year... Back to the Joys Of Being A Bunny Parent: Just repaired that cut I made with the scythe, stupid me puts my rubber...

Looks like a scab from an insect bite to me. Their nose is pretty vulnarable to those.

You might find reports that someone was lucky and it worked, but that is rare and often we don't hear the end of the story. I usually keep bucklings together for up to 5 months, but in bigger groups,mine mature rather slowly and I have to watch them closly. I think it works because of group...

Not in my experience, I now have the second intact buck as house bunny with my spayed Dotty. Only issue is that the buck sometimes is a little too interested, following her around honking, spraying her sometimes and trying to hump her, Dotty patiently just keeps hopping away. It's only bad at...

My vet treats this with about 1ml of paraffin oil, additionally to the ather stasis treatment I give like making the bunny move, belly massages, giving water and simethicone. Oil is somewhat controversial because of the risk of aspiration and lung damage, so it's not something I would recommend...

Runt. Peanut is only possible if both parents are true dwarfs. Good luck.

Looks more like fly larvae to me. I think if they were comming from the rabbit they would be on/in the poop. Clean the around the tlitter box too, they sometimes crawl away quite a bit to pupate.

Rolled oats are pretty much the easiest high calorie stuff to digest for them, I always use it with sickly and older rabbits, and to administer medicine. I also offer it to kits when they start on solid food. They love it and never had any problems, at an amount of about two teaspoons per day...

That really changes with time and mood, now I hear a lot Five Finger Death Punch, Slipknot, Arch Enemy etc. Linkin Park have great songs too. TPBM also dreads the days getting shorter rapidly, mourns another summer that whizzed by too quickly...

Yes, the kit will do ok, kits can be weaned at 4 weeks in a pinch, but for socialising etc.. They need moms poop just for starting to eat solid food around the 2-3 week mark. Never saw a doe leaving cecos. My kits do not wean themself, they continue that ritual of nursing until the doe gets fed...

You can keep them together for another 1-2 weeks or so, then you need to seperate them or you will be wading in baby bunnies up to your knees before they are 4 months old. I would keep them with each other in sight, but do not underestimate their ability to climb and jump. If he get's neutered...

Like Revolution or Stronghold, drops that you put near the infested area where the bunny can't lick it off, don't know about Zymox or what the ingredients are. You'll need one that is safe for rabbits. https://www.rabbitsonline.net/threads/bald-areas-photos.106246/#post-1207952 There is a lot...

Sounds a lot like she has got mites. They are too small to see without a microscope. Treatment is pretty easy with a spot on, I would see a vet before it gets worse.

You can wean the kit right now, it's old enough. I've often read about the theory that size difference could cause problems, but haven't heard of an actual case of this being the case. It sounds plausible, but on the other hand kit growth is determined by the energy and nutrients the doe can...
