    What would be the best colors to breed together for a variety of showable/strong colors?

    I have been talking to a very nice lady, and we were talking about me getting a breeding pair from her, and the doe also coming already bred to whatever buck I choose of hers. These are all lionheads, mind you. My doe is DM Sable Point. Remember, I am looking to buy one of these, and would...

    2 possible new buns, opinions?

    I am talking to two ladies (they might be on here, I don't know! lol) about getting a Himi ND from one and a REW ND from the other. What I know about the Himi: She thought they were REW but they turned out to all be Himis. The parents are doe;sable buck;REW. What I know about the REW: They...

    What do you do...?

    My boyfriends last kitten was attacked by my dog. We took her to the Emergency Vet and since the surgery to fix the wound in her stomach was going to cost $700-$900 we decided to put her down because we just had no way to get the money... Not even a week later we found kittens in our shed, and...

    Do Chinchillas always get brownish when reaching maturity?

    My Chinchilla Holland Lop has started getting chestnut hairs, I've noticed. Do all chinchillas get brown flakes? I have photos if you need them.

    Can Harlequins throw torts?

    I have two purebred Harlequins and one kit out of 6 seems to be showing tort markings. Since I'm new to this, I thought I'd ask instead of just assuming and being wrong. I really want to learn as much as I can again rabbit genetics, so teach me! Can two purebred Harlequin parents throw torts? I...

    'Melissas Rabbitry' (Photo Heavy)

    Having an issue with kits staying in the nest

    Has anyone else had this issue, and what did you do to help it? My standard sized bunny had her kits outside her box, and we have had nothing but problems with keeping the kits in the nest. We've had this problem before and all the kits died. We're into day 3, and although this litter seems to...

    Skype is a mommy!

    We were worried that our Holland Lop wasn't going to ever be a mommy, since we've had her for quite a while and have never 'took' to any breedings. To my great suprise, when going to feed the bunnies this morning, I found babies! I'm worried now that she may not be feeding, but I have milk stuff...

    9 Puppies & 7 Kittens!

    So in the mad dash to get the kennel out of the garage for my dog, we found a mommy and kittens! She wouldn't let me touch the kittens, but she let me take photos and definitely enjoyed her head rubs and the food I brought her. :) We also got baby buns this morning, but that's for another thread...

    Added 2 new Harlequins to my brood :)

    I've taken a chance and bought a pair of proven breeding Harlequins. If you seen my last post, I bought a kit from their last litter, and found out their previous owner was looking to sell all but one or two of her rabbits. I immediately called her and asked if she still had the parents...

    My pup is pregnant

    So a small briefing; My dog Hailey, about 3 years old, obviously not fixed has been 'got' by the neighbors dog. We never got her fixed because I don't have another dog (and my mothers dog, who I am currently staying with, is an fixed older female). I planned on it, but as already stated I live...

    What should these be bred to for best color?

    My aunt ended up getting two rabbits for pets, but today I seen them and fell in LOVE! I don't know where she got them, but I told her that they were kind of rare for this area, and I want them both! I don't think she plans on breeding them, but if I can talk her into breeding them and giving me...

    Should I Pet her out?

    Miss Priss is one the sister rabbits that I started out with, and as I would love to keep her, I don't have the space/time to separate her from all the rabbits so she would have her own area and play time. She's a mix rabbit, which means if I want to get serious about the breeding thing, she...

    Momma is loose, and I'm worried about the babies

    On the 1st Miss Priss had 9 babies (as you may know). This is her second litter, the first litter with no survivors. This litter was significantly larger than her first, at 9 babies total, her first litter only having 3. We are down to 6 living babies. Normally I wouldn't be worried, since the...

    My rant about work

    So I work in a clothing store. And some of the people I work with drive me crazy, in particular one of my supervisors that I work with a few days a week, I'll call her Rosie. Tonight, Rosie told me to call 'Dora' to see what needed to be cleaned in the Jewelry Dept since she didn't know, but she...

    Question On Pricing Pet Buns

    I want to start looking for candidate homes for the 3 babies I have, and another litter due any day now. Both litters are pet buns, mixed breed. That being said, should I at all take consideration into coloring/size/ect? I don't believe in 'giving away' rabbits, or any animal for that matter...

    I breed mainly Mini Rex, and have a Black Otter buck. I also have two mixed breed (Mini Rex x) that I breed for the pet bunnies I am asked for. I am looking to add to my brood, and know I want a Harlequin. I found a breeder expecting Harlequin's this summer, but she has others that she thinks I...
