    Flemish Giant Babies (growth progress) - Cuteness Overload (Eyes starting to open)

    Sorry I missed this question/feedback. Both parents are Flemish and we were able to view the parents of both of them onsite (they're unrelated). Both sets of parents of Velvet and Pinto were 20-23 pounds. We had wished that we could have found a pair with a pedigree, but the breed is very...

    Flemish Giant Babies (growth progress) - Cuteness Overload (Eyes starting to open)

    Both parents are 18/20 pounds (dad/mom - dad is now only 11 months, so he's got some growing left in him). The baby is definitely a runt and had/has latching issues. Thankfully it is still growing, just not keeping up with the siblings. All of the other babies are now over 1 pound at 3 weeks old...

    Flemish Giant biter

    Grunting is sexual behavior in rabbits (especially females - Velvet, our Flemish doe that just had kits grunted and would raise her tail for Pinto to breed her). Now might be a good time to spay her to see if it helps. Where does she live? Does she stay in a cage, a room, outside? Sometimes...

    Flemish Giant Babies (growth progress) - Cuteness Overload (Eyes starting to open)

    Updates on the babies - all 6 are doing beautifully. They mastered small hops a few days ago (3 weeks old tomorrow) and finally decided to start hopping out of the nest into the pen with Mom and Dad. They are still small enough to fit through to see their daddy, who is in an adjacent pen. I'm...

    Flemish Giant Babies (growth progress) - Cuteness Overload (Eyes starting to open)

    Little one is catching up nicely. It'll probably never be the same size as the rest but is steadily growing. Posting some updated pics in a few :)

    Flemish Giant Babies (growth progress) - Cuteness Overload (Eyes starting to open)

    Weighed them again today, mostly just to check if little guy was growing and good news is weight is up to 4oz, which tells me little bun is getting milk at least. Goliath, aka, Beast is up to 7 oz. The remainder are steady as well, all up 2-3 oz today. They are much more mobile and walking/baby...

    Flemish Giant Babies (growth progress) - Cuteness Overload (Eyes starting to open)

    Little bunnies are growing well - all except for the poor little one. We got the package scale out today and we had the following measurements at 13 days old. They seem to be on-track size wise with what is expected of the breed. 1. 6.0 oz 2. 6.0 oz 3. 6.2 oz 4. 6.1 oz 5. 6.8 oz - we are...

    Flemish Giant Babies (growth progress) - Cuteness Overload (Eyes starting to open)

    Don't say I didn't warn you...they are deathly cute!! All are thriving and have pudgy little tummies exception one. We took the little peanut today and held Velvet and attempted to let him nurse by himself a little. Time will tell if he makes it - his sibs are definitely outpacing him in size...

    New Flemish Giant Bunny Mom - Question on coloring

    All 6 kits are still doing well - they’ve started to open their eyes today. Going to get a good group pic tomorrow!

    Mowing around new kits

    Thank you so much! That is kind of what we were thinking. We went ahead and did our routine weekly chores today. Pen is now pressure washed out and the baby buns seemed fine with the noise (their kennel was closed during the cleaning but when we checked on them after, they were all snoozing in a...

    New Flemish Giant Bunny Mom - Question on coloring

    Thank you! That was probably what has helped the most is the experience of others on this forum to guide and correct where things are unknowns. The immediate gut human instinct is to help, when sadly, we could be doing more harm than if we let things be.

    Selamectin in the United States (Information)

    Same here! We have never missed a dose of the dog's heartworm prevention but when you go in for a well check, the vet demands (probably not "demands" but insists) you get your dog tested for heartworm. I've never once had a positive case of heartworm when my dogs have always taken prevention. So...

    Selamectin in the United States (Information)

    Hello all, I am not advertising in the slightest but was reading through the forums on many of our fellow rabbiters having to deal with mites/fleas/other pests that can bother rabbits. I take my buns and pets to the vet for wellness checkups, illness, etc., but one thing I've found that is super...

    New Flemish Giant Bunny Mom - Question on coloring

    Update on the kits. We have 6 now, and these do appear to be growing. As a first-time mom and number of kits as a first-time mom, we knew there would likely be losses. As sad as it is, it has still been a good experience. I've read many different topics and discussions about supplementing or...

    Mowing around new kits

    Hey all, got a random question for anyone that might have experience in the arena. Our Flemish babies are a week old today. We’ve been keeping loud noises away from their area on the acreage, including weed eating and mowing. We would like to cleanup that grassy area (around the kennel and...

    Outdoor Cages... post your photo

    Love this!!! I would absolutely love to let our rabbits on grass, but how do you keep them from burrowing? That was the main reason we went with outdoor pavers was due to that issue (plus it was easy for us, selfishly, to clean with a pressure washer once a week, and broom/dustpan every couple...

    New Flemish Giant Bunny Mom - Question on coloring

    Update on the babies - all 7 remaining kits are doing very well. Checked on them several times today, along with the proud parents. Pinto is not happy being separated from his lady and seems sad, but he'll be alright. The nest pics the babies do look wrinkly but I promise you they aren't. When...
