    How to clean urine stains?

    I'm sorry if this has been asked before; and if anyone has a link to one of the older threads you can just reply with it so I don't waste anyone's time. I have a blue buck with several urine stains on him that I need to clean. I don't want him to stroke out in a bath or something (hah) but...

    Can a peanut be saved?

    For anyone who's been following my posts, you'll know I've had a bit of a rough go of it with my most recent Holland Lop litter. Of the original six, I had one stillborn fetal giant and one perfectly healthy kit that died on Day 1. I also have a peanut, that for awhile I was hoping was just a...

    New Holland Babies!

    This is my second try at this pairing. They are purebred Holland lops, and the doe is an orange agouti (out of an orange and a broken lynx) and the buck is a black/orange tricolor (out of a black tort and a broken black). The first litter was three oranges. This litter, I have five kits (one...

    SENSITIVE TOPIC

    Now that I have the rabbits all to myself on my property, this is the first time I'm having to deal with this. I had a GIANT Max Factor kit stillborn this morning, Holland lop. (Happily, five healthy babies.) How do I dispose of it in a humane way? Waste pick-up does not come until Thursday and...

    What type of hay to use in nestbox?

    Normally, I just use the regular Oxbow timothy that I feed, but I have a Holland doe that keeps eating all of it. Like, ALL of it--I had no idea she could put away that much. As pressed as I am for space I really hate the idea of having to bring in another bale of something else, but I'm looking...

    Color Help on my Hollands

    Is this an orange/blue tri, or a broken blue tort? Momma is a harlequin (supposedly black/orange carrying dilute but looks really light so as COULD maybe be a dark blue/fawn harli?)and Dad is a black/orange tri. And, is this a blue/cream tri, then? Wait, actually these last two...

    Holland Lop Babies

    These are our first two litters of Holland lop babies and I just couldn't be prouder. They are so ridiculously cute I can't quite contain myself. I don't really know what to do with myself, actually. Just...the ears...I die.... And here's our litter of six, a real mixed-bag of colors...

    New Holland babies!

    Our Holland doe has FINALLY delivered a live litter! She had 5 and lost 2 but we have 3 adorable little cuties in the nest. Momma is an orange, and Daddy is a black and orange tri. I think we have all oranges, although one seems darker so I am thinking maybe tort? Shading hasn't started to come...

    Have you ever heard of a Red Hex rabbit?

    I have a "fan" of ours on Facebook who keeps asking me if we take in "red hexes", as she no longer wants to breed them and wants to start with Hollands instead. I have told her multiple times that I have no idea what a Red Hex is and have asked for pictures. I asked her if she meant a Rex or a...

    C Gene Series in Black Silver Marten

    I'm having some genetics fun (read: torture.) What is the dominant gene of the C series in a black silver marten rabbit? It is C __ or Cchd __? So far I've decoded at __, B __, and now I'm stuck on C. It doesn't seem like it would be a full color rabbit...and there's no yellow pigment either...

    Two Different Shades of Blue?

    Hi all, This is the first litter from a pairing I did from a new doe, a black tort and a blue. The black tort did not have any blue in her original pedigree, so I know something is obviously wrong there. I am in the process of contacting her original breeder to see what I can find, but in the...

    SO SAD!

    I guess I'm just looking for Internet hugs for a minute. My orange lop Marmalade was supposed to deliver our very first litter of Holland lops today by our adorable buck Dude. She built a beautiful nest with lots of hair (she's a proven doe, according to the breeder we got her from who is very...

    We are just, just starting into Hollands and finally have our gorgeous trio: Lil' Dude, a black and orange tri-color buck with the most AMAZING personality, Marmalade, a proven orange doe, and Fizzing Whizbee, a black and orange (?) harlequin doe. Fizzy Whizzy looks to me to be a...

    New Nethie Babies!

    I was really pleasantly happy and surprised with this litter. Tillie (black tort, out of a black and a tort) is a first-time mom and had THREE kits, all healthy and beautiful, no peanuts or runts. Dad is Jeffrey, a blue out of two opals. But, it appears that there are two blues of varying...

    What do black tort kits look like?

    Does anyone have any photos or links to photos/references online of black tort and/or blue tort Netherland Dwarf kits? I am new to working on this variety and am trying to get better at identifying colors before the fur has grown in. Once they have fluffed out it easier! Thanks!

    Visits from Animal Control

    I just finished reading the Sept/Oct edition of "Domestic Rabbits" Magazine which, for those of you who don't know, is the magazine that is published by the ARBA 6 times a year. It's an awesome publication and I always learn a great deal from it and enjoy it. One of the articles, titled "Know...

    Newwwwww Baby Bunnies!

    This is a Netherland Dwarf mix litter (3/4 ND, 1/4 Mini Rex) from a black and orange tri doe (the mix) who carries blue, and a Sable Point purebred Netherland Dwarf. The goal of this breeding was to see if it would be possible to produce an ermine, or a solid snow white with dark eyes. What...

    Breeding Tri-Color to Orange

    I have a possibility to get an orange Holland Lop doe from a well respected breeder in Florida as a match for my tri-colored buck. I know that Agouti is very dominant, but my question stems from the fact that I am new to the tri/harli gene. I am wondering if I will get only solid and broken...

    Bunnies & Seniors

    I write a column about the elderly and their pets, voiced by several of our "office pets" at our law firm: a cat, a dog, a bird, a dragon (read: Austrailian Bearded Dragon) and soon, a bun bun. I write about everything, from pet trusts to hiring a walker for the seniors who are unable to walk...
