blobs, can be caused by an imbalance of the estrogen cycle due to a second breeding after twelve hours.

What is the best pellet food for rabbits?

 

[Finnisher]

I don't believe there is a best food just some nutritional requirements that should be met.

This website talked about nutrition:

However I buy my food from tsc store or tractor supply it's called in the states.

BTW, another checkup on bunnies. The 3 does in one cage are getting along with the babies. One doe is of course the mother, and another doe occasionally hops in the nest box but doesn't do much, the third doe doesn't even go in the nest box.

The babies are 11 days old and opening their eyes.

Can anyone help me sex the babies?



















This is what a buck should look like:

I would need better pics to sex the kits. However I never sex my kits until 4 weeks. Its easier with two people, one to hold the kit and the other to sex the kit. I have my wife hold the kit and with my left hand I place two fingers (one on each side of the genitals) while gently pulling down on the tail with my right hand. Then I can tell if it has male or female parts.

Yea i know how to sex when the kits are older, I'm just having trouble doing it while they're young. I also don't want to push their genitals out while young because they'd be small and i'm scared of hurting them.
