BRM's Bunny Thread! ❤️🐰❤️

Yes! I'm so sorry this happened. Your doe's will mature FAST though, so I wouldn't get too worried.

Since I’m still learning, I need another opinion…if the single baby doesn’t make it, how long would you wait to breed her again?

A week? She will have time to recover. But keep in mind the heat can do a number on pregnant doe's, I'd hate for you to loose her, too.

Ok I was thinking two weeks or longer maybe. I’ll just keep an eye on the weather. Maybe she’ll surprise me and take care of the baby!

I have two Mini Lop rabbits named Alethea and Mirabelle. I will be breeding Alethea soon and was wondering if anyone had any helpful tips that they could give me! Otherwise, I also started this thread for any bunny lovers since we all (or at least I do) LOVE to brag about our bunnies!

Beautiful rabbits.

Here is the Holland Lop buck I am hoping to breed Alethea with.

Beautiful rabbits! Is the holland lop pedegreed? None pedegreed mixed rabbit kits can be worth less and harder to rehome and for such a beautiful rabbit pair that would be a shame because it could be harder to rehome their offsping.

Yes, she lived a very good life. We took her everywhere with us. She probably saw more of the world than most people do. She traveled the whole country, and even lived in Europe for a couple years. She was a really special rabbit for sure.
We weren't planning on getting a new rabbit. But last year, a friend told us about a local rabbit rescue that desperately needed people to foster. So, we signed up. But we pretty quickly learned that fostering is incredibly hard, because we ended up adopting two rabbits.
The first one we adopted is Chili, a Polish Dwarf. He was about 9 months old when we got him, so he's a little over 1 1/2 years old now. He's super energetic and very feisty. But he can be really sweet when he wants to be. The second rabbit is a Lionhead/Dutch mix. We were told he was about 4 when we got him, but I think he's probably closer to 6 or 7. He's blind, but an absolute sweetheart. He just wants to be cuddled all day.

this is kaytee, my little sweetheart!!!

Neatherland dwarf? Mini rex? (She?) is very cute.

The kit is still alive for now. But I’m not hopefully it will live or that Lilly is taking care of it. I have decided to hold off until September in breeding her again. In other words @Barred Rock Mama, I’ll need lots of pictures of your babies to hold me over until then haha! My other three does will not be ready until November.

They are not Hollands. Yes, all are pedigreed except my new buck who is going to bring in a new pedigree line to my rabbitry.

Can you get a few pictures of the kit? I should be able to tell if it's been fed or not. Did Lilly still not pull a nest?
