    Instinctive behavior, or not?

    The two mixed-breed rabbits that share our living quarters have had good litter habits. The spayed doe has been perfect about doing both #1 and #2 on paper in an always-open dog crate. The neutered buck has been good, too, except the times he sprays when he gets excited. Enter one pedigreed...

    Hormonal behavior in neutered buck

    I am posting this in both “Nutrition and Behavior” and “General Rabbit Discussion” (I hope it’s not against the rules to do so) because my searches in the former forum didn’t yield information related to our case. This is long and I apologize for that; however, I don’t see how to shorten it...

    Being patient: a happy ending and a new beginning

    Last year a surprise litter was born to a supposedly spayed rescue doe we adopted. After being weaned we picked two of the kits, a buck and doe to share our living quarters. All was bliss. The babes were very well behaved. We loved them to death and they returned the favor by being perfect...

    Neutered buck goes crazy over intact doe

    We have two five month old "live-in" bunnies, a neutered buck and an intact doe. The pair were great pals while growing up and for another two weeks after the buck was neutered. All of a sudden, things changed. The buck goes bonkers over the doe, pursuing her all over the house, trying to...

    Age to determine sex of young kits

    An "oops" litter arrived at our house and we didn't even know it until this week. (We got two female rescues from a shelter and they spaying operation on one of them either didn't pan out or didn't happen.) Anyhow, we have nine lively kits (no stillbirths) and the shelter wants to take them...

    Question about "rough" treatment

    I'm something of a newbie in the rabbit business; so, I've been reading books and on line posts; watching videos and whatever. I've also watched all the excellent Mary Cotter and Amy Sedaris videos. This is the impression I've gotten, so far: Rabbits' behavior is influenced by their history...

    Why not more reds?

    I'm new to domestic rabbits and one thing struck me right away: Red and reddish-colored rabbits seem to be scarce, at least in our region. Why? I grew up on a farm and I liked red chickens and red cattle the best. Now, we have a pumpkin-colored cat for the same reason. I'd love to get a...

    Question about Mini-Satin behavior

    My wife and I are considering adopting a pair of red Mini-Satin kits; however, we've seen mention that some can be jumpy and neurotic, depending upon the bloodline and the handling they've been given. What have your experiences been with Mini-Satins? Should we avoid the Mini and go for the...
