should she be rebred? if so, when?

oh one more thing. can i remove the fur from the nest box? it's pretty gross and they don't seem to use it anymore.

ya know i feel really silly that i did not mention that i could not have come this far without this forum. there are a few of you that have really helped me out over the past year and i am very grateful. sorry i didn't mention this right off. thanks! OAN: my neighbor has a doe that we tried to...

^ i did and i know they are called kits not sure why kittens flowed off my keyboard. LOL anyways, they are so precious. a friends 10 YO daughter came by to see them yesterday and picked one out to have as a pet when they are 8 weeks old.

the photo didn't attach for some reason. :( help please.

so my AmChin/NZ doe snuggles had a litter of 6 kittens. she is such a good mother! they are 12 days old today. i was fortunate enough to see her give birth to them. it was amazing. mother and kittens are doing great. :biggrin: i have a couple of questions <1> when will they start eating the...

i am a big fan of the bio sponge when anything 'funny' happens with the stool. it absolutely cannot hurt and will probably cure it right up.

i can't edit it now. the site won't allow me. i am asking the moderators to please make the change. i apologize if i have offended anyone, it was not my intention whatsoever. i will remember to use that term in the future. thank you for letting me know!

thank you for the reply! i should mention that according to her the rabbits would get sick from the hay, something about a distended stomach and they would die. the 1.5 cups is only for 2 weeks during pregnancy then it's back to 1 cup. i just want the rabbits to live healthy lives and produce...

whoops my mistake. she told me to cut the hay and feed 1cup pellets under normal conditions and 2 weeks into pregnancy to up to 1.5.

hi! i was at the rabbit show this weekend and i purchased a pedigreed american chinchilla buck. he is awesome! he is 5 months old and so curious and full of personality. i have decided to keep him in my basement and litter train him. during my conversation with the breeder she told me to NOT...

thanks everyone! i will wait a couple more months and try again.

the rabbits are now 7 months old so maybe you are correct. i cut down on the pellets to about 1/2 the usual amount and low and behold there was some action today. i saw the buck doing his thing however, the doe did not have her tail in the air so i doubt he bred her. i will keep on trying...

ok none of the breeding i did a month ago worked. i set up the boxes and none of my rabbits kindled. so i have been following your suggestions and put the does in with the buck while i am able to watch over the last couple days....nothing. i leave them in for about 30 mins at a time...

no this is the first time breeding all of them. thanks for your input!

he looks exactly like my nz white. nice looking bunny!

as always, i thank all of you for the information and i am glad i asked so i can change any bad habit early on. i am also curious about nesting boxes. do i need them if there is a wood bottom cubby in all of my hutches?
