    Rabbit escaped hutch, came home with hind end dragging

    Ugh. Seems like I can't catch a break with my meat rabbits. My flemish/French lop buck escaped his enclosure some time last night. I wasn't overly concerned because we've had escapees before and they always seem to return to the area for an easy capture. This evening I was feeding the other...

    What is a fair price for Dutch Rabbits

    I recently bought a purebred Dutch doe and her two kits, and while I'm keeping the doe for breeding, I'm going to need to sell the two young'uns.. Problem is, I'm new to Dutch rabbits and I'm not sure what a fair price would be to sell them for. I don't see any listings in my area for purebred...

    What breed is this?

    I got this doe from the auction. She was in a cage with another doe marked as "Flemish Giant". Obviously she isn't a Flemish.. I'd like to hear some thoughts as to what she might be. She's smaller than my full grown New Zealand White buck, and judging by the state of her dewlap I'm guessing that...

    Considering Breeding Dwarf Rabbits

    So my boyfriend and I recently started a rabbit colony.. We typically breed medium sized rabbits (Champagnes and New Zealand reds), but we also have a breeding trio of Flemish Giants because we noticed that they are in high demand in our area as breeders or farm/house pets and we use the money...

    Is This Actually A Flemish?

    So I bought two does from a lot at the auction today.. They were labeled as Flemish Giant does, but with no age or anything. When I got home I realized that they look slightly different. The one has bigger ears and a slightly longer face like my other Flemish, whereas the other has slightly...

    How to help the runt catch up

    I recently bought a group of ~20 ish rabbits from a guy who was getting out of rabbit farming, and one of the does came with a litter of 8. I weaned them yesterday (they're around 7-8 weeks) and while adding toys and chew sticks to their new enclosure, I noticed that the runt of the litter is...

    Breeding Questions

    So two days ago I purchased a breeding trio of champagnes - two does and a buck, and a NZW buck to work with since I've been having trouble with my younger NZW buck (shy buck syndrome). I put both champagne females from the new trio in with the new bucks, and bam! The deed was done several times...

    Can a Dwarf rabbit live outdoors?

    My coworker recently informed me that her close friend is leaving the province and needs to rehome her pet dwarf rabbit. She knows that I've recently ventured into breeding meat rabbits and asked if I knew anyone that could take it, or if I could myself. I told her that if her friend was in a...

    What Is Happening Here? - Help with kits

    My boyfriend and I bought a 8-9 month old Flemish Giant doe last month from a friend of ours. We were told she had been bred just before we picked her up, and therefore assumed she was pregnant (she is took skittish to attempt palpating). Well now we're on day 31 and nothing has happened. We put...

    Is a buck ever too old to breed?

    So I recently picked up two does to start off my breeding trio and am now looking to pick up a buck. Unfortunately the guy I was to buy my buck from backed out as I was driving to his place and now I'm hooped, as nobody in my area will have kits available until June. Luckily the woman who I got...
