    Should I let my rabbit nip to assert dominance?

    Hey there, Currently bonding two female rabbits. One is a bit moody and bites the other on the bum and then the smaller one goes a bit nuts and hops around everywhere. Obviously I’ve been keeping them seperate and bonding them in smaller neutral territory. They seemed to be getting along ok...

    Shy buck?

    Hi all, I posted here before about my does not lifting. I’ve tried table breeding but as soon as the does aren’thopping around he loses interest. Also, as soon as he’s sees my hand in the way (trying to lift her tail or her hindquarters) he gives up. he just seems to mount and then give up and...

    Are two tier hutches okay for breeding?

    Hey there, basically I have two set ups at the moment - a two tier hutch inside a “greenhouse”/conservatory situation and a wendyhouse/shed with a run attached to it. I’m currently debating which to use if I was going to breed my current doe. I’m leaning towards the two tier hutch because...

    Is a 4 month buck too young to breed?

    Hey there basically as title suggests - I want to breed my first litter of mini lops before my doe is 7 months old as I read the success rates and stress on the mother is better with a younger doe. but my buck will only be around 4 months old when my doe reaches that age. so do you think a 4...

    What age is too old for a buck?

    Hey there, Im looking for older bucks around my area. There’s one that comes from a reputable rabbity in the colours I want but he’s 5. I’m wondering if that’s too old for a buck, as most places say to retire bucks around that age. Apparently he’s still going strong, but I wanted to ask what...

    Hey there, Trying to plan for where is best to keep my rabbits. I spent ages making a huge outdoor run for them and now I'm paranoid it'll be too cold for them, especially while they're still young.

    will two males always fight? advice on colony

    hey there I was wondering if two male bunnies will always fight? One of my "bucks" has turned out to be a doe - they're brothers, and at 9 weeks so far so good, but I know they can start to get a bit feisty with each other if not neutered. Ideally I'd like to keep them both desexed and use as...

I can see quite a few resources and diagrams on holland lops (eg correct ear placement, head proportions, etc) but not a huge amount on mini lops. is the judging for both...
