    First Batch of babies

    and if your male gets in with your female enough times, and they aren't spayed or neutered, they definitely will accomplish something at some stage (especially if he is trying to mate her).

    First Batch of babies

    um well, I've never put any babies around the dads, or let the Dad's around the babies because I just never know what will happen. I don't want the Dad hurting any babies or the Mum or Dad getting into a big fight. Once before, I put one of the Dad's sons back in with him when the Son was...

    Kit colours

    Bella's 8-day-old kits, and can anyone give me any clues as to what their correct colours are? There's definitely a black one just like dad, then the two brown kits that look just like mum (not sure of the correct colour name). Then we have a silver kit with a white strip on its head, then...

    Kits first photo

    Here are Bella's kits at 8 days old today, their first photo shoot, a bit too wiggly though. There are two brown kits that look like twins and are identical to their Mummy, the black one is identical to his daddy, then there is a silver kit with a white stripe on its head and around its neck...

    First Batch of babies

    To answer your question, Mum and babies are outside, in a big hutch, Then I have a fenced-in area on the grass where Bella runs around. My brother built a totally enclosed nest box with an entrance big enough for Bella. The lid of the nest box opens up so that I can check on them...

    baby rabbit feeding

    I went back later today and she had fed them later, which was really weird for a rabbit, I've never experienced a rabbit feeding her kits in the middle of the day. I checked them again at lunchtime and their little bellies were popped full of milk, which was incredible because early morning is...

    baby rabbit feeding

    Has anyone experienced their doe maybe changing her time to feed her kits? Ever since my doe had her kits on Thursday last week she has seemed to feed them in the early morning, because when I came in the morning to feed her, the kits tummy's were always very round and full. However, this...

    feeding rolled oats

    thank you, I do give alfalfa, so ill just stick with rolled oats as a treat every now and then, as she absolutely loves them and goes crazy for them. She nearly jumped out over the top of her pen fence when she saw me with the rolled oat container, it was rather funny because then she stood on...

    feeding rolled oats

    Does anyone have any thoughts about feeding a few rolled oats to rabbits? I hear and have read they are quite safe to feed to rabbits, and are a good treat for them. I am thinking of giving Bella a teaspoon of them every now and then. does anyone else have any better knowledge of them than me?

    momma rabbit bleeding

    My Bun just had her babies yesterday morning, and this morning I went to her pen, and she had bled a bit more, and I found what looked to be part of a placenta. I am wondering if some bunnies bleed a bit a day after kindling. I just found it a bit strange as my other doe I had a couple of...

    First Batch of babies

    Horray Bella had her first batch of kits this morning. So cute, she had six but I found one very lifeless, I warmed it up, but it's dead, so she has five little kits. Bella was a bit jumpy this morning. Almost like she was very alert, probably cos of the newborns. This morning when I first...

    pea vine straw

    I have been reading and from what I have read, pea vine straw is fine for rabbits bedding and for them to eat. We buy pea vine straw for our farm, and so I was wanting to use some for my Bun, as I haven't read any bad side effects from it. I was just wanting any experienced opinions on pea...

    Ample amounts of water available but still has amber colored urine

    If you are worried about his water intake, and your Bun doesn't seem to be drinking from his bowl, I would suggest that you run his greens under some water, and give them to your Bun still wet with water, this helps their water intake. Also how much greens you give your Bun can change how much...

    nest making

    So my Bun made her nest about a week ago, she isn't due for another week, but ever since she made her nest she covers up the entrance to her covered nest box. I sometimes clear away the entrance on both sides of the entrance, because i just want to make sure its clean hay around the entrance...

    caecotrophs, pregnant doe

    yep, Bella is due in about 9 days, so she is in her last stages. I am pretty sure she eats some caecotrophs, as there have only been a couple when I find them.

    caecotrophs, pregnant doe

    Hi everyone My bunny Bella has been leaving a couple of caecotrophs the last few mornings (which she never does). It's not a lot, only about 2, but I am wondering if this is maybe because she is having trouble cleaning herself down there because of her pregnant tummy getting bigger. I only...
