    Help with identifying type of rabbit

    Agreed with Nancy. I think she may have a little mini Rex in her aswell because although her fur doesn't look velvet, it doesn't look harshly textured either

    Oldest bunny?

    The oldest I personally had was a French lop doe, she lived until she was 14 and 11 months. Currently I don't have any real old ones because it's showing and breeding stock, so I can't get sentimentally attached to them, so I don't tend to keep many of the show tans past their first birthday...

    Dumb question probably. Mini Rex/Netherland

    I have seen a few attempts in the uk but not many have achieved a proper Rex coat on them, the blue I saw had an extremely long woolly coat, and I've seen two Himalayans with far too many guard hairs. The type was definitely Netherland Dwarf though and I did see one very good black which apart...

    Buck digging

    Hi everyone, I have a young squirrel Netherland dwarf Buck called Armani. He is about 6 months old and I bought him for showing purposes. I've never had a problem with bucks digging in my past 10 years of showing and breeding, it always seems to be the does but this boy will not stop digging. He...

    Vaccines

    @Augustus&HazelGrace @Popsicles I inject myself as I find it ALOT cheaper than the vets, where it would cost about £30 a rabbit. I live in England so it's probably a bit different here and something a lot of breeders have been struck by losing up to 100 rabbits. I got them from a vet practice...

    Talking with your bunny

    Mine recognise there names like dogs, can perform tricks and are generally very excited when I enter the Rabbitry. I think they are extremely underestimated and actually very intelligent creatures. I talk to them all individually and tell them to enjoy their food when I feed them! So yes, it's...

    Vaccines

    I was just wondering, I have some Eravac in the fridge to protect against RHD. I inject myself, the rabbits I'm intending to inject next week are Mini Rex and a couple tans. The vaccine is currently 1 day before it runs out of date. Will it still be ok to use in a week, and will it still be...

    My female gave birth!

    You need to be socialising them little and often when they hit about 6/8 weeks.

    What breed is this bunny?

    She looks a very mixed rabbit. The spots I think are from an English or perhaps even a hotot, either one of those markings-wise. I don't see Dutch in her at all! She's a little more compact than a Dutch, before I read it and I just saw photos I thought it was a Mini Rex! If you've been told...

    My female gave birth!

    They look like they'll be very pretty babies :) ones a tortoiseshell dutch pattern, the other a fawn. They look very healthy and she hasn't rejected them, so that's very good considering she's 4 months old. My only piece of advice would be once they both hit about 12 weeks, be careful as all 4...

    15 month old Big Bunny's spay surgery was cancelled due to concerns of her breathing?

    Sorry I got back so late, the problem may be long term allergies, because around 2 years ago, my house rabbit had been off hay for over 6 months and had only started suffering with breathing when I first gave her hay. The vets said the same but a 4th and 5th opinion said the dust from the hay...

    Mini Rex Grooming?

    I like to use quite a lot to prepare my Mini Rex. Clear distilled Witch Hazel I rub in daily to my show rex, or on the off occasion just water, but that doesn't have the same effect. These help to clear the coat of any lumps of bumps and cleanse it for a better texture. Just MAKE SURE that you...

    New to the site - mini rex breeder

    Hi :) I'm an English breeder/shower of mini Rex rabbits in black,Havana, chocolate otter and Siamese/marten sable. I've been doing this for about 8 years now and I try to attend a show every weekend. I also have a few Argente St Hubert's and Netherland Dwarfs alongside my mini Rex. My biggest...
