like said above, the money you make off rehoming the babies will not be enough to cover food.

meaning the dad is a new zealand(?) which is a LARGE breed comnpared to your little dwarf it ould easily kill her if you dont take her to the vet

and many does will get mean after you try to breed them, and they stay mean. so its a good idea not to let them out tp play together anymore until they are spayed and nuetered on both ends.

My guess is that he is a Californian, because he has the same markings and eye color.

Californian (8-10lbs) rabbits are QUITE a bit larger than a Netherland dwarf (~2 lbs). I would be concerned about birth complications. :nerves1

Himalayans however, look a lot like Californians, but are noticeably smaller in size and weight. They have similar markings and red eyes.

Well like I said, it's just a guess. I'm thinking about getting him and MeiMei DNA tested to see what bunnies they are mixed with.

While this might be worthwhile if you had the money, I think spaying and neutering them both would be much more beneficial to you (moneywise timewise etc. due to unwanted pregnancies) and to their health, *especially* the female's

No offence, but didn't you read the previous posts? I already said I was going to get them all fixed. I'm getting Lennie fixed first because it's cheaper for me and my mom. I'm only sixteen years old people. Give be a break D:

 

[BabyMei]

I know the problems that can happen when she's pregnant. I already know this. I feel like I'm being attacked. Like I'm stupid >_< I've had rabbits before, my aunt used to breed them. But if MeiMei ever died from this, I could never forgive myself... She's my baby girl...

Thank you so much for this ^_^ I'll have to call when I get home from school (which isn't long, 8:00-12:00) and see how much it is. I'm just trying to find the cheapest place. Plus, the humane society has probably fixed more animals than any veterenary clinic d:

most definitely. they fix every animal there. just make sure you go to that vet for no other reason. everything else (like bunny checkups) are outrageous. idkk aboutt fixing lol.i hope its cheap! c:

Absolutely none taken . And yes I did. I wasn't attacking you though :/

I wasn't contradicting you, I was merely saying as a general point. I know you said you were planning on getting Lennie fixed when you had the money, and you were going to get the DNA test, so I just made the point that is quite a good idea so you know exactly what breed they are (because I have never thought of getting a DNA test for a rabbits breed), but then just reiterated the point afterwards that I would still get them both fixed first.

Also- if you are quick and spay the female now, while the *possible* pregnancy is still in it's very early stages, you could prevent some more buns coming into the world when there already so many in the world. So it is more importantnt in my eyes to spay the female now, and lennie can wait. I know spaying is more expensive than neutering but not by as much as having a litter of kits will cost you, I'm sure.

I was only trying to help . At sixteen I didn't know this- I didn't realise you did, so I am sorry if I offended you in some way.

BabyMei,

I for one am the last person who would attack you. I am simply not in the position to in any case. Like I already said, I have just just had to deal with this myself. If you think this is attacking, you should see the messages I got Trust me, there was absolutely no malice intended, especially not from me.

One thing I do wonder about is why you did let them play together if you knew as much as you say you do. An accident is one thing, but letting two unaltered bunnies play together and a pregnancy happening would only be nature taking its course. I'm not asking for an answer. But one can't help but wonder. I only assumed you were a newbie and didn't know as much because you had them together. It happens more than you think

All I have said, I have said in case you didn't know or hadn't thought of these things. It's important to know of the dangers and implications. Sometimes, in the heat of the moment you may forget things you know, just because emotions can take over. It's not evil of us to remind you. Like you said, you love your Mei, and I already love her as well so I certainly wouldn't want you to deal with losing her Plus, I call my bunny May, MayMay as well so that's another thing we have in common

The information and advice is there. You can take and leave what you want at will. In the end, she is your bunny. Only you know what you will do. Best of luck! :rose:

That is really the point I think we were all driving home when emphasizing the importance of the spay as a priority over the neuter. This is done at shelters quite often - spaying females will immediately "abort" the pregnancy and hopefully prevent the doe from heading into a complicated birth.

We understand that you have to prioritize because of money and because you're only 16. We're just trying to help you get all the info possible to consider. At the end of the day, Meimei is your bun and we know you're going to try to do what's best for her with what you have.

It's okay I'm just afraid MeiMei's personality will change if I get her spayed :/

I let them play together because to me, even when I cuddled and played with her, she seemed lonely when I took her out. I would bring her upstairs into the livingroom and she would sit there like her mind was somewhere else. When I introduced her and Lennie, they went nuts! Binking and running around, chasing the cat, chasing each other. She seemed much happier. I knew the risks, I decided to take it, but it may have not been the right choice. Life is a trip. I will make mistakes. I'm only sixteen. I'm certainly no expert on rabbits, but I am learning and with people like you, it really helps, and I thank you for it. It just made me feel a bit upset >_< I overreact too much, lol. One common thing about me and Mei is that we are very emotional and hormonal Speaking of emotions, I think I may have figured out why she's been acting mean lately. I think that she may be jealous of Sophie, our Flemish Giant. When she jumped on my lap and bit me, Sophie was laying her head on my lap. I think this might be the solution.

I can understand that. On a few rare occasions personality can change for the worse but in most cases especially when there is hormone-related aggression, they behaviour with change for the better.

I didn't notice any change in any of my animals' behaviour. 2 rabbits. 7 dogs, and 2 cats. Was I worried it would change some of the really docile, gentle ones? Sure. But did it? Not in the slightest.



You have to consider taking the risk. Imvho females need to be spayed in every case unless they are being used to breed. Even if you don't spay her now for this possible pregnancy, you really must consider it in the near future. The risk for cancerous tumours and death is just too high not to spay

Very sadly I saw this done once late in a pregnancy. It was so sad. They had to euthanise each formed kit individually even after the uterus was removed.

But early on in the pregnancy I see no problem with it- like you said, if your doe is at risk, then this really is what you should do.

Yup, her personality will likely improve after a spay. Certainly won't get worse I have my own demon girl here, and she's a million times more positive and sunny than her aggressive hormonal attitude before.

$88 is a good price. Sounds like a good investment, considering the likely birth issues.

 

[Nela]

Hey, like I said, it just happened to me I had them in a divided playpen but it still happened. Mistakes are made, accidents happen. It's how we react to them and learn from them that matters. I'm a few years older than you but I still act out a lot on emotion I certainly understand.

 

[BabyMei]

GR! I took such beautiful pictures of MeiMei and Lennie, but I can't find my camera's USB cord >_<

My bun, Solara was all sweet and once I spayed her, she also stayed the same.

But once I bonded her to Sabriel, she turned into a brat, and she runs away from everyone Including me D: I have a huge scratch on her arm from her FLYING from my arms. <--- even ask Will, Alexa. It was insane. She jumped so far and high.
