Hello! We are hoping for some double checking on the sexing of our Holland Lop kits. This is our first time. Based on our reading, here are our guesses: Milky Way: boy Star: girl Comet: boy Nova rain: boy Ozzie: girl Thanks in advance for opinions/corrections!

Thank you so much for this explanation!

Is there any difference for the rabbits whether they get first or second cut Timothy hay?

So sorry for this loss😞

What a smart idea! Thank you! Here is one of the babies and the babies with mama for scale😁

Here is one of the babies...the little poops are like cement! I am trying to just work them out of the fur with cornstarch, but I feel like a comb would pull out the fur...

Ok, thank you. To clarify do you mean reduce pellets some and add alfalfa hay? It’s helpful to know this is a Holland Lop tendency. Do you think a dry clean of the babies is good or should I use a pet wipe? Each baby had a couple of little poop balls and some debris on their fur near the butt...

Her butt looks a bit better today actually-no big clumps. I really appreciate this breakdown of info. Since it’s our first time it is hard to know all of these specifics. So many unexpected details! I am learning a lot. I did notice she had a clumped poop today but most of hers are normal balls...

Hello everyone! I am really struggling. My nursing mama holland lop has pretty constant poopy butt. I am dry cleaning it every other day to keep it managed. But this morning I discovered that all 5 kits have crusty poop stuck to the fur around their butts too! I am confused. I have ample hay and...

Thank you for this feedback!

Hello, I posted about Misty Moon and the case of the poopy butt a couple weeks ago. Thank you for all the help. The scenario is that I have fed the new pellets (Oxbow Jr) for 5 days now, and hay, and just a small amount of fresh greens. She still seems to have some poopy butt that I check and...

Thank you so much for your replies! This is very helpful. The other 5 kits seem to be doing well and are super active. I am building a shelf to put in the hutch as a place she can get away from the babies. That’s so cute about your rabbit in the litter box!

Still wondering if I should give mama a salt lick, or is that only if feeding a hay only diet?

Thank you so much for your reply. Here are pics of the set up. She often hides in the little cupboard area.

I am sad to report that we lost the runt in the night. I found it by itself in a corner no longer alive. I feel terrible. I worry that mama isn’t consistently nursing the babies. She seems irritated with them. They are only 19 days old today. But I see them try to dive under to nurse and she...

The baby buns! Happy Easter everyone!

Update: we survived our first butt bath with Misty Moon! We found everything we need today at the feed store, so here’s hoping! Thanks again so much.

Ok, sounds good. Thank you so much for the help!

Thank you sincerely for your input! Yes her regular poop is normal round balls-it seems just the cecals are causing the mess. I will try the better pellets. She is currently on a brand that is local here in Oregon and organic. But I don’t know the specific breakdown of nutrients. I will find...

Hey Everyone, I have an 8 month old Holland Lop, 4.3 pounds. She gave birth to 6 kits successfully two weeks ago. She has a horrible case of poopy butt. I have read that I should fall back on pellets and feed only hay, but I am concerned about her getting enough nutrition to produce milk. She is...
