    Should I buy a breeding pair of 3yr old Netherland dwarfs?

    Black x Black Otter is a better pairing. Crossing a nonextension and tan pattern rabbit creates rabbits that carry fox (torted otter) and/or sable point marten colors, which aren't showable varieties, and people that breed tan patterns tend to avoid rabbits that have any non-extension colors...

    Should I buy a breeding pair of 3yr old Netherland dwarfs?

    Personally I wouldn't get them. They dont look to be bad quality, but if they were originally sold as a pet by the original breeder (and some people do that; they sell rabbits as pets without pedigrees) then they thought there was something wrong with them for breeding. The color on the left...

    What breed is my bunny?

    Hes a mixed breed. I could see ND x Holland. Definitely no Britannia petite in there; they are extremely aggressive, fragile and hard to breed, not something that is found in the pet trade (only kept by show breeders). Otter is a color, not a breed. Your rabbits color is otter vienna mark...

    Baby Bunny Fever

    I actually prefer the look of adult rabbits over baby rabbits. I breed rabbits, and I get most excited when they start growing up and looking like actual rabbits so I can start evaluating their structure If I could just have other people keep them until they reached puberty lol that'd be great

    Would like to know more about breeding for show mini rex

    I'm not sure what you are trying to ask. The most important thing about mini rex at rabbit shows is the body structure and fur, not color, as well

    What breed is my bunny?

    He's a mixed breed. Netherland dwarf or holland lop are common pet breeds, so I wouldnt be surprised if he had some of those in the mix. The color is called vienna marked black otter - two different eye colors are common in that variety. Black otters are very common in netherland dwarfs; though...

    Baby rabbit- attached placenta

    A bit late for the response, but if anybody else is reading this and has the same question, you should cut it off, but not close to the body (leave maybe 1/2"-1" of umbilical). Usually the does will eat the placenta off; if they don't it is often a sign of stress or difficulty during birthing.

    Is there a Must Have Breeders "Bible"?

    I don't know a single legitimate breeder who has pet insurance. Most of the breeders don't take their rabbits to the vet very often; and when they do, they work with a farm vet that will see their whole herd, which isnt the sort of the thing that is easily covered by insurance. The American...

    New Holland Lop Color Help

    Looks like Broken Magpie to me, which means one of the parents was broken.
  14. SableSteel

    What color is he?

    With those parents we know what he is self based From those two you are likely to get a mix of Black Otters, Blacks, Black Harlequins, Torted harlequins and maybe, if she carries tort instead of harlequin, some Torted Otter or Black Tort

    6 week old baby bunnies

    I wouldn't reduce their pellets, at this age the baby rabbits need all the protein for growth they can get. I free feed pellets until they are about 3-4 months. I would remove any extra alfalfa hay from their diet though. Looking at the nutrient info for that brand of pellets, I am not a fan. It...

    Can anyone help figure out the breed of my bunny?

    It's a mix breed. Looks like it has some lionhead in it, some lop in it. The color is called broken magpie.

    FTM only one kit- warm enough?

    Thats what I would do, not only will the lionheads help keep the lop warm but theyll get more mom to themselves as well
