Calling All Rabbit Nutters

[_-Captain BRM-_]

I have no clue what anyone else thinks.

I assume a lot of people think it means something more than family tree.

Right - you can track genetics and figure out the colors of the offspring. You can also see the different legs the parents, grandparents, and great grandparents have won. You can also see that your rabbit is purebred. It's quite useful for a breeder.

I was wondering your opionions since I have a Mini Plush Lop doe dying in my arms at the moment and my plans will be messed up.

Do you all know anything about force feeding a rabbit?? I found her this morning with fly strick, fixed her up, but I think she's in GI stasis now. I gave her some baby aspirin 4 hours ago... She's just barely holding on. I tried force feeding her some canned peach juice to wake her up a little... Even if I get it in her throat there's no response. I can go as far to touch her eyes and she won't blink. It happens so fast. Just yesterday she was her normal self...

Guys I can’t do this indoor rabbit thing.
Gee is doing good with potty training (and he’s getting neutered soon) but Feefs..not do much.
This is what happens every morning-

I clean it every morning but it’s still absolutely disgusting and gross.

I'd not deal with that. Was she bad before the new bun?

Poor thing.

I don't recommend forcing anything into any animal's mouth unless you are 1,000% sure you know exactly what you're doing because one drop down the wrong pipe will kill it quicker than it starving on its own.

How old is it?

She needs a smaller area with just her, 2-3 feet and the litter box with some hay. Deodorize and clean the rest of the area so she doesn't think of going there once she is litter box trained.

Oh! Okay!

She is 3.5 months.

She is new to you or you've had her since hatch day?

Newer. She's the one of the magpie does I recently sent pictures of. Linh. I'm going to put her down. I just found a whole mess of maggots in her mouth after literally spending all day from 1:00 on trying to find all these things and clean her up. I shaved her from shoulders down. There's not much I can do to save her internally.

How important is pedigree to you? (Asking everyone)

Gee has a pedigree. Thought if I were to get another bunny I’d probably get an bunny from someone. I’m pretty sure most of those don’t have pedigrees.
Like this dumb thing-
