As a breeder website it looks very much like the standardized dog breeder website. Which is fine but even dog people can't keep those "in the nest/current litter" pages updated, which I hate when looking for current litters.

Okay thanks for feedback... any opinions on the blog content? Would it be something you'd return to to read? As in quality-wise? Thanks!

Maybe some pictures of your rabbits setups? Whenever I look for dog breeders I think it's important to see their setup. That way, the buyer knows they have a good sized area, it's clean, and that you, the seller, provides all their needs.

It would also be good to have some info on free roam bunnies, x pens, and bit more on bunny proofing. And maybe mention litter box size. A lot of people have difficulty with litter training because their litter box is much too small. I prefer cat litter boxes.
And for outdoor bunnies I would have some more info on rabbits becoming overheated. I'm not sure where you live, so this may not be a problem but heatstroke in common with rabbits.


Overall it looks really good!!

I'm starting on my website for pet clothing and accessories, and a blog for pet care. Do you like using Wix?

You know, it's funny you mentioned that because that's one of the few things I'm still working on. I have a new big bunny shed that's still a work in progress.

Thanks for the tips otherwise

Yes, I like Wix although the URL is clunky... will have to look into a better one!! For customization and ease of use it's definitely brilliant.

I've been looking at rescues a lot recently.
Lots of people get their little kids baby rabbits for Christmas and the kids loose intrest for them so they end up in rescues. It's a bit early so I haven't seen many, but after a few weeks there will be a bunch.
I saw one Florida White with blue eyes. And a fuzzy little lionhead
They were far away though

hey so i have been trying to breed my rabbits for awhile now and i have been having nothing but problems. i have 3 does (two NZW and a rex) and one rex buck. i have put them in and the buck only ever has one fall off. it is immediate then he has no interest in the doe or doesn't have another fall off, i can leave them in all day and still only one. if the doe takes she generally has very few and about halfway through the pregnancy they slowly start disappearing, by around 10 days to birth there is either one or none. have had no live or dead born. each of the 3 does have concieved and failed 2 to 3 times now. all of them are old enough and i am rather concerned. my rex doe is due in 10 days and i can only feel one, she 100% had at least 5 in there last week. all does and bucks are unproven due to this. is it the buck or a deficiency? all of them are healthy weight fed 16% rabbit feed (will switch to 18% after birth) with constant hay and water.
any help or advise is appreciated.
i was told to post here too hopefully i will be able to get an answer to whats been going on

Sorry.
Im at a loss for your issue. Chocolate Mouse is usually pretty responsive, maybe she’s really busy right now.
Do you have another buck available?

nope, would be extremely hard to borrow one and this buck was pretty expensive and i dont really want to have two bucks for 3 does. i am considering replacing him but he is a real good looking buck
