Hi Friends! Newbie farmer here. I have an english lop that got nipped in the testicle by my other buck. They have lived in harmony in a colony for well over a year and am not sure what caused the attack. The testicle became infected and very large. Since the infection was localized I assumed I...

Hi everyone! I know this website is for poultry, but I have an issue with one of my rabbits I was hoping someone could help me out with. Today I noticed she wasn’t walking in one of her hind feet, and taking a closer look she sticks it out to the side and doesn’t even attempt to use it. She has...

Hey ya'll! I have a sick Holland Lop doe. She is on the older side, 5 or 6 years old, she has had 10+ litters for me.

Thought I'd start a rabbit thread where we can post about our rabbits, post great info for new rabbit owners, etc. Only 2 rules for this thread: Be nice! & Don't make this thread into a 'Spay/Neuter your rabbits!! You're a terrible owner for not doing so!!!' thread because people have different...

Hi, This morning I heard fox noise and I went to my garden and saw the fox has killed my rabbit. The fox ran away and the rabbit is died. My question is, is the rabbit still eatable? I am worried if the fox bite will contaminate rabbit meat? But I don’t want to waste the meat. Thanks!

I have a 5-6 month old Polish doe, just yesterday, when I was taking pictures for a Photography class, I noticed her leg was positioned weirdly, I picked her up and set her on the grooming table, I show rabbits at my local 4-H Fair. When I picked her up, I noticed a wound around her thigh area...

I recently just got a rabbit that my brother's friend couldn't take care of anymore, my first animal that can be spayed. And I have searched the Internet on pet insurance and with no luck got any answers. What is pet insurance and do I need one to get my rabbit spayed? How much does it cost to...

Hello! So this morning I looked into the hutch and saw a kit sitting on the wire, still alive. I had no idea my doe was pregnant, and took action to remove it and the mother and placed them in a Tupperware. I put some rabbit fur Ive been collecting in there, since the “nest” the doe made was 3...

I had a pair of chocolate colored Holland Lops, and they were both very sun-bleached. I ended up selling them bc they were not producing babies. I just purchased a Broken Chocolate Otter mini rex doe (8 weeks old), and I am wondering if she will get sun-bleached too?? The 2 hollands I originally...

The lady who's selling her to me will be driving 2 hours so I'm paying $25 to cover gas. I'm still stuck on what to name her. I'm glad that I set up her pen yesterday in time. I plan on bonding her to Copper later in the year after I've gotten them both fixed and they've had time to heal. I...
