Yes, rabbits can get pregnant at 4 months old butshe is 6 months old! Like I have said in prevous posts the only reasonwe think she is pregnant is because there was a accident including mydog, bunny, and other bunny and they got put together for about 10 minwhile I was trying to get the dog out of the yard and stop chasing thebunnys!!!

 

[bunnylover78642]

BO B BUNNY Please do not post any more on this topic as you obviously just think I am stupid and do not know what I am doing!!!

They can get pregnant at 4 months, but shouldn't. Glad to hear she is 6months old instead, as that is a more reasonable age. Does this meanthe male was 4 months? I know alot of males don't drop their testiclesuntil around 6 months, so if he hasn't yet I wouldn't be worrying abouta litter too much.

hey bunnylover, i just noticed that you have athread with your bunnies pictures.. from looking at your little Reese,who I'm assuming is the mini rex , there is no way that little guy is7 pounds.. looks pretty normal if that's the bun you're talking about

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Just because you don't like someone's answers you tell them not to post.

You are telling us all of these horrid abuses and you expect us not to say something?

I pray you are not for real, honestly. Because I feel bad for the rabbits in your care if you are.

Reeses was going to be the father but we ended up not gettinghim. Leo is the father maybe if she is pregnant...

I know my male has dropped because I couldn't tell if he was a male ornot intill it happened. They were just there one day and suprised me. Idon't really know if she is pregnant, she just might be.

P.S. From now on I am going to completly ignore Bo B Bunnys posts since she can not be nice to me and answer respectfully!

please quit fighting. i got enough of that todaywhen my borther, mother, and father and i got into a big arguementtoday over my brother having to take me to school.it onlycauses hurt feelings. don't shut someone out just because you don'tlike what they're saying, it might need to be said.

[Bo B Bunny]

bunnylover, you asked questions and I am not theonly one talking about how ridiculous this is.... most just won't sayit to your face. I will.

Don't like it? too bad.

You want help, you need to answer the questions we have because rightnow everyone is looking at you as if you either don't know what kindyou have, or you don't know their true weight or age, etc.

Now, I have looked at the pics (still looking) and I would say thateither Leo is a standard rex or he's a lot older than 4 mos.Again, I think my breeder who is a highly respected ARBA judge eitherlied to me or misinformed me about Bo. He was at least amonth younger than I was told.

Looking at the size of a pillow on the couch, and other things relatedto Leo.... he's as long if not longer than Bo who is now..... 8 or 9mos old depending upon who you ask.

Back to your defensiveness. You can't expect to ask questionsand talk about these kinds of things without beingquestioned. You are adament we are wrong. If we areso wrong, why did you bother to ask?

You say you are 13, I am 41 years old little girl. YOU do not speak to me in such a way. YOU are the one being rude.

Exactly. Don't ask a question if you don't want to hear the answers.

I dont try to fight but I don't like it whenpeople say that I am a bad pet owner. I spend hours doing research onmy buns. I own more books then most people read in a life time. I amtrying to do the right thing but it is very diffucult when you are only13 and people are calling you stupid.

 

[rabbitluvr04]

Bo B Bunny was just trying to help and you took it in the wrong way!

NO one is calling you stupid over your age. No one has been calling you stupid until you got defensive and rude.

I am trying desperately to help you since I have a mini-rex and I amtrying to guess size, etc. However, if you don't like ananswer you get nasty. I will tell you what I think..... so ifyou don't like it sorry, but I think most people here are way bettereducated on rabbits than you seem to be. Not being rude....just telling you. I was SO uneducated the first week I had BoI didn't give him HAY! can you imagine that? But I listenedto those around me and I have learned more than I could ever haveimagined.

Now this is a MOM telling you what I think...... and why.....

1. If you cannot get your mom to get food for the bunniesthat they need.... why get more? that's not fair tothem. You got mad at me for saying it but it'strue. I would not take a pet I could not feed properly.

2. It's absolutely ridiculous to all of us (and we have allbeen talking in pm dear) that you have a mini-rex at 4 mos old weighing7 lbs. We are 99.9% sure you have either his weight, age orbreed wrong. WHY? because even adult mini-rex do not get thatlarge and he would need Richard Simmons to do anintervention. Do we think you are stupid because of this?NO.... we think we need you to double check and try to help us help you.

3. If he is older he could very well have your girliepreggers and really, no one needs unwanted/mixed litters.... it's hardfor most of us to see those things here. Some people don'tcare but most serious rabbit owners do.

4. We would not be trying to help you if we didn't care.

5. This picture does make him look a bit on the chunkyside..... but he also looks to be at least 12 inches long in a meltingposition. Is that about right?

This is the first post I liked since I startedthis Topic. That picture is one of my favrites. He is chunky. Maybe myscale is broken. It is really old. When Leo is sitting he looks huge.He gets all bunched up and it is really funny. When he streches he isreally long but he rarely does it. That pic was taken really quicklybecause as soon as I put the camera in place he started to move again.

As Bo said, no one is trying to make you feel bad or stupid, we are just trying to help you.

Do you think you could measure him from nose to tail and give us themeasurements? That might help determine exactly how big he is.

[Bo B Bunny]

:shock:You liked it? j/k

Hon, i know you are 13 and it's hard to not be defensive (I have a 13almost 14 year old.... believe me I know! I have also been your age! )

That's what we were trying to say...... something just didn't seem right!

He looks chunky but not to the point of being unhealthy! but he doeslook large. To me at least, but then again, BO is a smallermale mini-rex. He's about 14 inches laying down on hisside. If he stretches toes out completely... MAYBE 16 inches.

Leo looks close to that now. Bo was only about 9 inches at that age. (maybe he was a late bloomer?)

Where the youngness of the breeding is concerned..... how horriblewould we feel for you if you had a litter not survive or lost yourbunny over that? We would all be in tears for you and for them......you see?

Concern sometimes presents itself in frustration. Try toremember we all care. About you and your bunnies and that'sall we are trying to do is help

I wish I could come down and weigh and see Leo and help you get his food (and hers) but I can't

Now, lets go from here and try to figure out what you need to do. OK?

 

[bunnylover78642]

I will measure him in the morning but my mom ismaking me go to bed now. So night!! Feel free to keep posting but nowshe is getting mad I am making her wait! See ya'll!

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Good! we'll await the measurements!

I'm glad we are communicating better now

BTW..... I'm gonna nap Leo anyhow LOL! he's so cute
