    Nemo ~ 7 month old Dutch x Lop - Resolved

    heheh, just freaked out for a second, having misread months as years, and was like "Why would you spay a 6-7 year old rabbit?" Anyway, she looks like she's doing well and good luck finding a home for her!

    A few questions, some general and some breeding/colour questions

    The reason people say you should keep them separated is because it often causes the buck to be stunted in maturity (emotionally). A buck who's been around the doe from a young age may breed with her, but there's a high chance he won't because he's so used to her. You may end up not being able to...

    We caught the big guy!!

    You could put a blanket over the cage to help him feel safer. =) I usually keep my bunnies' cages half covered so they don't freak out if they're over spooked (they feel safer having a place to dart to if something scares them).

    Thank you, everyone! ^^ I'm working on a fullcolor of Coco now. If you'd like to watch, I'll be working on him for the next couple hours over live stream. https://join.me/529-930-885

    Runt Help!! - Rip

    You shouldn't bottle feed. If mom has milk, use her to feed the baby (it'll have a much greater chance of survival without changing milk). You can do this by placing her in a box with some hay and petting her head to keep her calm as you place the baby under her and let it nurse (make sure it...

    Does anybody know what colour or breed these rabbits are?

    I'm a former ARBA breeder, so i don't know much about UK breeds, but the bottom one looks like a Holland Lop. The top one looks like a Holland Lop mix. She's definitely not a tort or blue tort though because they have darker points and darker undersides (even poorly colored ones). She's a lynx...

    very small white rabbit fails to grow

    I was wondering why no one mentioned this about the handling. Holding a rabbit by the skin causes the skin to stretch and tear. In fact, when I used to raise Tans, it was a rule to never pick them up by the skin like that because it stretched the triangle marking behind the neck (proof that it...

    very small white rabbit fails to grow

    Yeah, this looks like severe urine scald. It should see a vet. In the meantime, you should clean its living space thoroughly and keep it clean, and dab off any urine currently on the rabbit with lukewarm water on a paper towel (don't use any cleaning products or shampoos, even baby shampoo is...

    Thank you for editing the first post. ^^ That'll work! I'll post the finished works here then, until they're all done. Here's lauraloo's Brambles and Larry (a sktech): Coco will be next, and probably full colored.

    Satin Rabbits

    Your bunny is a shaded. =D Anyway, congratulations to the OP on the upcoming Satins! They are gorgeous rabbits.

    We caught the big guy!!

    It's hard to say without a sure weight. The photos are too dark to see the gray patches. Do you think you could take a better picture of those spots? Because they could mean he's a steel color, rather than solid black, and likely a Flemish Giant or cross. There are also black Flemish Giants...

    Allowing more freedom....

    The towel is a great idea. Start litter box training them if they aren't already and bunny proofing the livingroom. Usually rabbits will run around for a while, then tire out and find a place to chill. I usually put them back when they're at this point because they aren't making use of the free...

    What a pretty rabbit! He definitely looks like a male just from his head shape and the lack of dewlap. I hope you get to keep him. He looks like a great bunny to have around.

    The Angora Sisters & Others

    Whisp is indoors inside a solid-floor rodent cage with a cushy blanket today. It's kind of small, but she shouldn't be hopping around right now and doesn't seem to want to anyway. I covered half with a towel to keep her calm and encourage her to lay on the blanketed side. Keeping her supplied...

    The Angora Sisters & Others

    This blog will focus on my two girls, Layla and Whisp. They're English Angora sisters who were handraised and are about a year old now. A couple other bunnies will also be in this blog because my roommate has buns too, and we dabble in showing and quality breeding sometimes (I used to have a...

    very small white rabbit fails to grow

    It doesn't sound very normal if it's not growing. That also sounds like a deadly diet for a rabbit, especially a baby. Baby rabbits should be eating primarily hay and pellet feed. No fruits, vegetables, or any of the other stuff you listed. That may be why it's having trouble, in addition to a...

    very small white rabbit fails to grow

    Is it a peanut? Can you take a picture? How old is it? And what are you feeding it?

    Angora problems, need advice.

    Their nails were both recently trimmed, and I truimmed the one that broke as far down as I could (without touching the quick, I mean). Unfortunately I didn't get to reading your post until this morning, but there is good news! Her feet started healing last night. She hasn't been laying in her...

    So.. I'm getting a bunny!

    It's tricky figuring out where to look for alternatives, but they certainly exist! Rabbit shows are good. So are shelters and craigslist. You can also find breeders in your area by Googling the word "rabbitry" and where you live. It looks like everything has fallen into place! It's nice that...

    So.. I'm getting a bunny!

    That's wonderful! You should never buy from pet stores anyway. Even when the conditions look fine, the rabbits often aren't. Congratulations on your upcoming bunny!
