If you go to www.fuzzylop.com they have a Holland Lop Breeders directory, organized by state or rabbitry name. There are a number of Holland Lop Breeders listed for the southern states.

Sydnie, Sorry to hear your Buck has Pasturella.With care and medication it can be controlled. :) My first piece of advice is pickone breed you really love to start with. Don't try to do 2,3 or 4 different breeds to start. Look for a local Rabbit breeder that can advise you and is willing to...

Tap the nipples so they are wet. They will investigate it. Keep an eye on them for the first couple of days... you may need to replace the bottles for a couple that don't pick up on it right away. Have patience, as soon as they get thirsty, they usually get the hang of it.

I use an EdstromAutomatic Watering System and LOVE it. Out of all the rabbits I've had over the last 7 years, I've only had ONE stubborn Mini Rex, (who came from another breeder) ,that refused to learn to use it. The nipples are solid brass with a central pin. When they...

Breeding Mini Rex, that also call for a smaller ear, we have seen very little difference between "winter ears" and "summer ears". (And we had always been quick to blame the heat if a summerlitter ended up with longer ears!) But as Pam pointed out, ear length is pretty much genetically...

Immediate Spay is probably your best option, and the best option for the does. Bred to a much larger buck, itcould lead tolarge babies (too large for the mother to deliver comfortably) and injury to the mothers. And if you are not keeping the buck for breeding, neuter him too. That will solve...

Congratulations! Thats a really good day!

:blueribbon: Congratulations! Well done! (I know how crazy it can get with 4 breeds on the table at one time! Kids just add to the mix! LOL!)

I'm glad to hear she is OK. It could still be a genetic issue... not related to how close they are or aren't... Or it may not be a genetic issueat all, it could be an individual problem with her... she may not be able to carry a normal pregnancy. She may just have a propensity towardslarge...

How is she this morning? Any more babies?Hope she is OK...:pray:

Any changes?

Did the placenta come out? Hollands are notorious for having birthing difficulties. Is this her first litter? Was she "on time" with the kindling? Was the buck much bigger than her? You can also give her raspberry leaves if you have any. It helps the uterine horns contract and expel anything...

A rabbit can injure himself and cause a tear or a rip. Yes, that can cause a split. They can also get injured by a doe while attempting to breed. Have you seen any blood or signs of damage? Is it just the tip that's split? Some bucks, as they age, will show a "wider" tip. (Especially the...

They have not posted the Show Catalog yet, but I'd be happy to send you the info when it becomes available. (I intend on being there too! Double Flemish Giant show!!!)

There will be a large Rabbit show on October 17 in Brooklyn, Connecticut. Thereshould be several very good Dutch breeders there. That would be a great place to look for show quality Dutch.

Count 31 days from when you found the fur all over the floor and give her a nestbox to have her kits in. The nestbox will keep the kits together (for warmth) and make sure that none of the babies crawl off and get chilled or miss a meal. (Even indoors, the babies need to be kept warm. The...

I'm at a loss to find a logical explaination. As I mentioned, some rabbits just "fail to thrive". I would guess a vet could do an exam and some tests to see if there is anything that would help her along. I havebeen told that some Thriantas carrya dwarfing gene, if she inherited two of the...

Pedialyte is sold for babies and children in the US, available in pharmacies or where ever baby food is sold. It's usually available in unflavored and fruit flavors. (I prefer the unflavored variety for the bunnies). I used to give it my children when they were dehydrated (after being sick or...

It would be hard to "guess" at why your Thrianta isn't growing the same as it's siblings. Could be a physical deformity... (poorly developed digestive tract?, injury from birth/injury after birth?), could be a genetic issue (is this the first litter out of that Sire and Dam?). I generally don't...

Sorry to hear the new litter didn't make it. I'm surehaving to care forthe old litter, plus the move to your place was stressful on her. I'm glad you found someone that will appreciate the Nethies... I hope they are happy in their new home. That doe needs a little break from breeding. 2...
