Thanks for the advice. Their “cages” are currently a repurposed dog crate with a divider between none of them had been in before so it was a neutral space and I was swapping them between regularly to get them used to sharing the space, the squeeze under was accidental. I’m currently bonding them...

Hey there, Currently bonding two female rabbits. One is a bit moody and bites the other on the bum and then the smaller one goes a bit nuts and hops around everywhere. Obviously I’ve been keeping them seperate and bonding them in smaller neutral territory. They seemed to be getting along ok...

Apologies for all my typos, not sure what happened there! Yeah I agree, ideally I’d like to let them have free access to the garden but I’ve got an issue with foxes close by and I’m not willing to loose them, I’m probably gonna have a fenced off and covered area they can go in. It’s more if I...

Hey there, I keep looking at people’s Rabbitrys online and it seems lots of breeders use those small metal cages. I’d like to make sure my buns have enough roaming space but it seems difficult to make sure all the buns get enough exercise space. how do you make sure they have room? I was...

Hey there, ive got an agouti chestnut (?) doe who comes from an agouti chestnut x chinchilla breeding and a broken black buck who comes from both parents that are broken black. I’m a bit **** at genetics when agouti coats get involved, agouti is dominant over self so I’m assuming most of the...

Hi all, I posted here before about my does not lifting. I’ve tried table breeding but as soon as the does aren’thopping around he loses interest. Also, as soon as he’s sees my hand in the way (trying to lift her tail or her hindquarters) he gives up. he just seems to mount and then give up and...

Nothing wrong with his tackle, he just doesn’t seem to like it when I get involved. He’s only 5 months (girls are older with one previous litters), do you think he just needs more time?

I’ve tried having their play time together (I actually have two does, same thing happens for both). He tried briefly and just hops off after a few seconds because she’s obviously not receptive. ive tried table breeding but the buck isclearly a bit shy and won’t “go for it” if my arm is in the...

Hi all, my doe doesn't really seem to take to the buck very well, she just runs off every time he comes near. I know usually there's a bit of chasing in circles but usually they lift eventually. mine was just not having it. Any tips for getting her to lift? she's had litters before so it's...

Hey there, basically I have two set ups at the moment - a two tier hutch inside a “greenhouse”/conservatory situation and a wendyhouse/shed with a run attached to it. I’m currently debating which to use if I was going to breed my current doe. I’m leaning towards the two tier hutch because...

Heya, I’m a bit bad at rabbit genetics, so what will a choc otter buck (parents choc otter and blue otter) and a tort harliquin doe (not sure on parents) have? I’m hoping for some more otters but not entirewly sure how the genetics work. thanks!

Hey there, im still a bit rusty on color genetics of bunnies - so question is as follows, what colors will a choc otter buck (parents choc otter and blue potter) and broken black doe (both parents broken blacks) spit? I’d assume some broken chocolates, and black otter, but not too sure. thanks!

Hey there basically as title suggests - I want to breed my first litter of mini lops before my doe is 7 months old as I read the success rates and stress on the mother is better with a younger doe. but my buck will only be around 4 months old when my doe reaches that age. so do you think a 4...

Hey there, Im looking for older bucks around my area. There’s one that comes from a reputable rabbity in the colours I want but he’s 5. I’m wondering if that’s too old for a buck, as most places say to retire bucks around that age. Apparently he’s still going strong, but I wanted to ask what...

That was the plan, but it seems there’s none of the color/type I’d want in a close enough area. Also don’t worry, I’m upgrading to a playhouse/shed for them with attached run.
