the round spot on the head brought to mind maxfactor babies...some will have a "soft spot" on the head. Iknow hollands (generally?) don't have max factors butmaybe... they weren't too small--the parents weren't. You can breedthe doe back now. it would be good for her, dry up her milkif there...

please don't take this the wrong way, but if yourvet can't tell at nine weeks what sex your rabbit is then he probablydoes not have a ton of experience with rabbits and maybe you shouldlook for a new vet to insure that your little bunny gets the best ofcare. carolyn posted this EXCELLENT listof...

Malocclusion--where the bottom teeth overlap thetop ones, preventing normal wear, and need to be trimmed. youcan do this yourself--i've done it, one of my best herd bucks ruinedhis teeth by chewing on the wire. it isnt real easy but youget the hang of it, and its a lot less $$ than taking him to...

Tina said it well. It shouldn't hurthim, not just for an hour...i have taken rabbits to 4H meetings andstuff from outside in the winter and theyre ok...just have to keep allthe cloverbuds (under age 9) from sufficating them... but if thetemperature difference is so drastic it would kill...
