Glad to hear she is on the mend! While this could be a one-time thing, I recommend retiring her from breeding so you don't risk her life ☺

I know this reply is super late, but hopefully it can help others in the future. Kale is great for building up contractions, and lavender can induce labor if she is extremely overdue and/or has stuck kits. Sorry to hear about your doe!

Of course, I understand and do breed for these. Unfortunately it's harder to do an interactive survey for those, though 😂

Please contribute to the survey to help me determine what I should breed next!

Singleton's can be hard to raise. For the highest survival rate, I recommend assisted nursing (as shown in the video above, 2-3 times per day) and taking the baby/nest out of the mom's enclosure. This will make it easier for you to monitor the baby and put less stress on the mom. Based off...

Here is some background information to (hopefully) help with color identification! Parents: BEW x Orange / Black Tri-Color Siblings: harlequinized chestnut, broken black, harlequin, 2 tri-colors I originally thought this baby was a broken lilac, but as it began to get fur, I realized the...

I am hoping someone can help confirm which tricolor / harlequin variations these babies are! Below are my guesses, but open to correction :) Baby #1 - Cream (Fawn) / Blue Tri-Color Baby #2 - Cream (Fawn) / Lilac Tri-Color Baby #3 - Cream (Fawn) / Blue Harlequin Their litter as newborns...

Is this baby Holland Lop a chinchilla variation? Currently (day 9): First born:

I had a really bad experience with fly strike a few years ago. It was with sibling bunnies living together in the outside hutch. They were rescues, and had a very large enclosure. However, their hay mat got moist somehow and they both ended up with fly strike on their stomachs and had to be...

A pedigree is the only way to know her genetic background :)

Creams don't usually have "smut" (darker shading) on the ears, etc. as seen in the pictures. The sibling of this bunny is a blue torted otter, so logically a lilac torted otter is the best possible prediction without knowing more about their genetic background :)

Looks like a lilac torted otter coloring.

She is definitely an otter. Time will tell with the babies coloring! One is definitely a black, the other could be a otter, marten, or chestnut.

That's exactly what I meant, you just worded it better 😂

Black is a very dominant color, and pops up often. It all comes down to genetics, but torted otters and other variants of otters / torts could come from this pairing!

No, not in my experience unless you are referring to the lacing around the nostrils. The only other color she could be is a opal, but usually opals have no white circles around the eyes. Opals have color bands / circles when their fur is blown into, as well.

Your rabbit appears to be a blue otter coloring!

There are two main ways that bunnies can contract mites: through hay, and from an infected animal. Sometimes a batch of hay will be infested at purchase and needs to be discarded. Adapting good habits, such as vacuuming daily and cleaning out litter boxes multiple times a week, can really help...

Nothing at all has been changed in the environment recently - that pretty much rules out allergies, according my vet. This is not a breeding rabbit, it is a spayed pet. I feed a very well balanced, organic diet (including supplements) so lack of vitamins is not something I am concerned about...

Thank you so much! I'm going to take your advice and use a microscope to CONFIRM mites before treatment. The syringes I plan to use are these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QM74NWG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_TC6EA2J7XXNTSD0QHYJ0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1. I completely understand this, however, my vet is...
