Hi I've got an 8 week old rabbit, and just wondering what colour she is. I'm totally stuck, as I think she might be one colour, then when I look further I think she might be another. I'm thinking one of those smokey colours, a blue sable point or, yea not sure. Her feet and tail are the same...

Hi there, I feel awful and sad and don't know what might have gone wrong, but Bella my Bun had a litter of kits this morning (day 29, usually she has them day 30). They were all dead, the strange thing is, they were all only about 2 cm long and only about 1 cm around. None of them had their...

Here are Bella's babies at nearly 5 weeks (I took the photos last week on Tuesday). They will be off to new homes in a few weeks, I will miss them terribly. I have a couple of people asking me for them, and who are going to provide very kind homes with plenty of room for running. I'm keeping...

does anyone know if rolled oats would cause an excess of cecotropes. I give Bella a teaspoon of them not every day, but every alternative day after her babies were born, as she seemed like she was losing a bit of weight. She is back to her usual self and the rolled oats helped her gain her...

Here they are Bella's 3 week old kits. I couldn't get a photo of the 5th and last kit as it was very wiggly that morning. The photo of the single kit in 1st left-hand photo is one of the kits in the middle photo. I just took it to show the coloration better

Bella's 8-day-old kits, and can anyone give me any clues as to what their correct colours are? There's definitely a black one just like dad, then the two brown kits that look just like mum (not sure of the correct colour name). Then we have a silver kit with a white strip on its head, then...

Here are Bella's kits at 8 days old today, their first photo shoot, a bit too wiggly though. There are two brown kits that look like twins and are identical to their Mummy, the black one is identical to his daddy, then there is a silver kit with a white stripe on its head and around its neck...

Has anyone experienced their doe maybe changing her time to feed her kits? Ever since my doe had her kits on Thursday last week she has seemed to feed them in the early morning, because when I came in the morning to feed her, the kits tummy's were always very round and full. However, this...

Does anyone have any thoughts about feeding a few rolled oats to rabbits? I hear and have read they are quite safe to feed to rabbits, and are a good treat for them. I am thinking of giving Bella a teaspoon of them every now and then. does anyone else have any better knowledge of them than me?

My Bun just had her babies yesterday morning, and this morning I went to her pen, and she had bled a bit more, and I found what looked to be part of a placenta. I am wondering if some bunnies bleed a bit a day after kindling. I just found it a bit strange as my other doe I had a couple of...

Horray Bella had her first batch of kits this morning. So cute, she had six but I found one very lifeless, I warmed it up, but it's dead, so she has five little kits. Bella was a bit jumpy this morning. Almost like she was very alert, probably cos of the newborns. This morning when I first...

I have been reading and from what I have read, pea vine straw is fine for rabbits bedding and for them to eat. We buy pea vine straw for our farm, and so I was wanting to use some for my Bun, as I haven't read any bad side effects from it. I was just wanting any experienced opinions on pea...

So my Bun made her nest about a week ago, she isn't due for another week, but ever since she made her nest she covers up the entrance to her covered nest box. I sometimes clear away the entrance on both sides of the entrance, because i just want to make sure its clean hay around the entrance...

Hi everyone My bunny Bella has been leaving a couple of caecotrophs the last few mornings (which she never does). It's not a lot, only about 2, but I am wondering if this is maybe because she is having trouble cleaning herself down there because of her pregnant tummy getting bigger. I only...

wow absolutely amazing, I got to witness my bunny Bella hay stashing for the first time. I have never seen a bunny do this, and it was such a treat. I sat there and watched her the whole time. Then I looked in her box and there is a beautiful perfect circular nest made, without fur of course...

AAAhhhh, my Bunny boxed me for the first time and was quite grumpy. I had to give her to my friend to look after for a week as I went away. My friend has often visited my Bunny Bella at home, and Bella is fine around my friend. My friend has other Bunnies as well, but Bella was set up in a...

I don't think my bunny is pregnant, or maybe she's just a very late kindler. Does anyone know if bunnies can Kindle after 33 days? I just thought she was pregnant as she showed all signs of pregnancy. She was with my male for a couple of days, and for the last 33 days she has been a different...

I am just wondering if you will always see baby bunnies moving in the mum. I have never once seen the baby bunnies move in either female rabbit I've had. Or is it maybe because I just don't look at the right time? I read that you may often see the babies moving and kicking inside the mum at a...

Does anyone know if pregnant rabbits pee more? I never noticed it with the other female rabbit I had years ago. But Bella seems to be peeing heaps more than she was when she wasn't pregnant.

Hello all, I give my Bunny veggies about twice or three times a week. I give her about 4 slices of cucumber, about a quarter of a leaf of cabbage, and then about 5 stalks of Broccoli (like when you cut it into flowerets), without the heads, like in the picture below. I am wondering if this is...
