There are two restrictions on showing rabbits. One is that the rabbit has to fit the standard for its breed. The second is that the rabbit has to be tattooed in the left ear to be shown. You can usually get someone at a show to tattoo it for a small fee. Sharon

I did very well at the show. My little blue dutch doe won Best of Breed both shows. The jerseys didn't do too shabby either. Had a great time even though it was raining in the morning. Sharon

1. d 2. Yes 3. No, I wouldn't be able to deal with any serious injuries, like stab wounds and such. 4. No 5. Yes, I was seriously injured in a car accident nine years ago. From what I can remember about them, they were nice to me.

Thumper is a Mini Lop. Broken Chinchilla is his color. Mini Lops can range from 4-6 pounds :) I love his face! So cute. Sharon

Them flopping about is normal at that age. They are probably hungry. Is the nestbox too low? Are they able to move out of the nest? Sounds to me like they squirmed right out of the nest. As far as her not herding them back it, they won't. They will not grab the babies and carry them. Sharon

You're welcome :) You do not need to have your rabbitry registered to get your rabbits registered. You, personally, need to be an ARBA member. Getting your rabbitry registered is just a bonus :) I have mine registered. Sharon

Don't give them the vegetables unless the breeder has given them veggies before. Unlimited amounts of hay and pellets are what you should feed. Quaker Oatmeal is good too in little amounts. Sharon

Have you tried the oatmeal? I would lay off the vegetables as the baby is too young for vegetables unless he grew up with them. Let him eat all the hay he wants....just buy a better quality hay...like alfalfa. Rabbits do not need pellets to survive. Pellets are a supplement. Keep an eye on...

I am not going.....I am going to Ohio the following week. My friend is taking one of my Dutch bucks to breed to my friend's doe. Sharon
