I find it fairly easy to do my new Zealand's nails with them on a table with them sitting on a piece of carpet. I just pull out a leg and trim those nails, then on to the next. At first i would have someone put a hand on their back to sort of hold them in place. But after a few trims. They all...

Rabbits usually only feed their kits twice a day. Just keep an eye on them. You will be able to tell by full belly's.

Bill yes it has been a tough year for you. You have my sympathies. I dont know if you are working or retired. But you really need to get out and do something. If retired volunteer somewhere. I hope all the best for you.

While not impossible your Buck is a bit young. I would separate them. Wait till your buck is a bit older.

I would not put earth and grass on the mesh. A couple of ceramic tiles will work much better.

If your cage has a bottom. That the rabbit can not chew through. Put a yoga mat or those rubber mat's The ones with puzzle edges to lock together. You can get at any auto parts store, Menard's, Home Depot etc. Will defiantly lower/muffle the sound on the floor below.

Nope you should be fine.

Hope your doe is fine. Had i seen this earlier i would have suggested giving her raspberry leaves. Seems to help get the process going.

Love my New Zealand Reds! I have a couple of does that are just love bugs. I do have one who thinks she is a Vampire. My buck is friendly for the most part. When he wants to be.

This may help some.

See if giving her a frozen milk jug or ceramic tile frozen helps during the heat.

Kitten milk replacer. Try to find the smallest nipple you can or use an eye dropper. Good Luck. Goats milk in a pinch...

Here is a decent reference. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=14&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjOqpuQkprUAhUh6oMKHbgPBs0QFghoMA0 cnn.com

Have been having does raise kits since January. Only one loss due to cold and that one jumped out of the nest box during the night. When i found it i turned the nest box on its side. Did not lose another one. On a side note. Have had Cotton Tail Kits running all over the neighborhood for the...

Use 1/2 inch x 1 inch wire for the floor. I have dogs and they don't bother the rabbits. Although they do greet them in the morning. Never once lost a rabbit to thunder storms. If worried build a box with the same wire for the floor of it. Just not out of treated wood. They will chew on it. It...
