How do you handle kits that bite or nip at you. We have 3 or 4 kits that nip at your fingers when you hold them. It's not a painful nip at this point. But i'd like to stop the behavior if i could. Rabbits don't seem upset or scared when they do it. Right now i've just been saying no biting and...

We've lost kits before, but they were always newborns. This is the first older kit we lost. She was 8 wks old. Honestly i had doubts as to whether she would live, so i was surprised she made it this long. She was the runt of the bunch. Her brothers and sisters towered over her. a lot of times...

I've been wondering this for a while, but kept forgetting to post it. This is mainly for those with a lot of rabbits (10+) but anyone can answer. How fast do your rabbits eat through a bail of hay? My rabbits consume 80lbs of hay in about 2wks time. It just seems like we get the hay and before i...

I feel so bad about it too. I kept telling him i was sorry:( This morning i was giving the rabbits their greens, refilling their hay, and refilling their water dishes. I was dealing with our rabbit, peanut butter. Gave him his greens and saw that his water container was low. So i went to the...

I'm new to raising rabbits. So can someone tell me what this term means? I keep seeing it posted here and have no idea what you all are talking about LOL! To me a binky is a pacifier, and i'm pretty sure that's not what you're talking about.

Wasn't sure where to post this picture. I know i don't post on here a lot, mainly reading. Then asking a question when i have a problem. But i wanted to share a picture of one of our many rabbits. This little guy (DH is pretty sure, it's a boy) is Spot. We have a female rabbit that has the same...

Has anyone ever dealt with an over protective mother rabbit? That's what i have right now. I'm seriously afraid of her. If anyone tries to put a hand in her cage (which means, cleaning, putting food or water in) she'll attack them. Today she attacked me because i tried to pick the dirty hay up...

Is there anything you can do for a newborn rabbit that is the runt of the litter? All of the other babies are between 80-100 grams and this baby is only 40 grams. Now it might be a little off since they were all wiggling around as i tried to weigh them. But he/she is definitely smaller than the...

I'm not sure if this is a behaviour problem or where to post it. But what causes a doe to kill/eat her young? My daughter went to check on a litter of kits this morning and found a bloody mess:(. One of the babies head was almost completely decapitated. The other babies had no bodily harm but...

I wasn't planning on joining a rabbit forum, but i needed advice so here i am. We currently have 19 rabbits :shock: Is there anyone else on here who have a lot of rabbits like that? When i mention how many we have, most people act like we're nuts. We didn't intend on getting 19 rabbits. Here's...
