Your hostility is neither warranted nor appreciated. Seeing as how you don't know me or anything that's happened since then, it's mighty pretentious of you to swoop in and immediately judge. He IS a meat rabbit, like it or not.. so yes, if he gets hurt and can't recover that's what he'll be used...

Ugh. Seems like I can't catch a break with my meat rabbits. My flemish/French lop buck escaped his enclosure some time last night. I wasn't overly concerned because we've had escapees before and they always seem to return to the area for an easy capture. This evening I was feeding the other...

Yes, Dutch mom is pedigreed. I had the papers sent to me today. I'm just looking to sell her kits as I don't really want to keep a litter for myself. As for the mix, I can't speak to the quality or lineage of my friend's rabbits as they aren't mine. Obviously a mix of anything will go for...

I recently bought a purebred Dutch doe and her two kits, and while I'm keeping the doe for breeding, I'm going to need to sell the two young'uns.. Problem is, I'm new to Dutch rabbits and I'm not sure what a fair price would be to sell them for. I don't see any listings in my area for purebred...

I'm just confused because she looks vastly different in appearance and size from my other two flemish (one which is purebred from a breeder and the other that came from the same cage at the auction that I think is half flemish). 10 lbs would be a generous estimate for her.. I really need to get...

I got this doe from the auction. She was in a cage with another doe marked as "Flemish Giant". Obviously she isn't a Flemish.. I'd like to hear some thoughts as to what she might be. She's smaller than my full grown New Zealand White buck, and judging by the state of her dewlap I'm guessing that...

Thanks majorv! I had a girl come over to check out my rabbits the other day and it turns out that she used to breed ND. Between what I've been hearing on here and what she told me (that they wont hesitate to bite and have drawn blood on her), I'll likely be moving towards one of the other...

He sold her to us because he said she was a bit smaller than his other rabbits, and we were originally looking for a meat breeder. We still breed her for meat, but we also sell her kits to people looking for outdoor rabbits on their farm, pets, meat rabbits. I breed my Flemish with a family...

Honestly we'd never even thought about dwarves until we started getting repeated emails/phone calls asking if we had any available. It seems like Flemish and dwarfare what we get asked for the most, but we get a few for dwarves. The flemish are at least a dual purpose for us, as they can be both...

She's also a tad scraggly right now.. I'm thinking she isn't too old, but I can try to get my hands on a scale to weigh her. I might just cut my losses, resell her and go with a local breeder though.. I'd rather not say that I'm producing Flemish babies unless I'm absolutely sure. That being...

So my boyfriend and I recently started a rabbit colony.. We typically breed medium sized rabbits (Champagnes and New Zealand reds), but we also have a breeding trio of Flemish Giants because we noticed that they are in high demand in our area as breeders or farm/house pets and we use the money...

This is my original Flemish doe that I'm comparing to.. She's about 8 months

Darn. I knew once I saw her up close that she didn't look quite right. Everyone seems to have great luck at the auction and I got a dud This red one is the other doe I got from the auction and I believe she actually is a Flemish - albeit probably a younger one..

So I bought two does from a lot at the auction today.. They were labeled as Flemish Giant does, but with no age or anything. When I got home I realized that they look slightly different. The one has bigger ears and a slightly longer face like my other Flemish, whereas the other has slightly...

Update.. When I flipped him over yesterday to check that he is in fact a he, I noticed soft poop smeared all around his bum. Should I be worried about this? Could it have to do with his small size and skinny ness?

Thanks JBun! As far as I can tell, he doesn't seem to have a pot belly, he's just scrawny. I can double check though. I never thought about parasites.. Is that very common in meat rabbits? I think I'm going to try and house him in a separate hutch - along with his sister that I'm keeping for...

I recently bought a group of ~20 ish rabbits from a guy who was getting out of rabbit farming, and one of the does came with a litter of 8. I weaned them yesterday (they're around 7-8 weeks) and while adding toys and chew sticks to their new enclosure, I noticed that the runt of the litter is...

So two days ago I purchased a breeding trio of champagnes - two does and a buck, and a NZW buck to work with since I've been having trouble with my younger NZW buck (shy buck syndrome). I put both champagne females from the new trio in with the new bucks, and bam! The deed was done several times...

My coworker recently informed me that her close friend is leaving the province and needs to rehome her pet dwarf rabbit. She knows that I've recently ventured into breeding meat rabbits and asked if I knew anyone that could take it, or if I could myself. I told her that if her friend was in a...

Thank you! Is calf manna something I could find at a local feed store? I just got back in from checking the kits and their bellies are nice and plump again.. looks like mom is feeding them well. I'm surprised at how much fur they have after just two days though! We checked tonight, and both are...
