What Rabbits Do You Have? Show Off Your Rabbits Here!

We built the outdoor rabbitry under oaks and in a shaded area, also use the frozen water bottles.
We have fans to set up to push air through (as you mentioned the humidity!) So at least we can keep the air moving! It definitely gets brutal here June/july & august !

I use a fan in the hotter months. I also use frozen bottles and the fan blows on the bottles. The bunnies lie behind the bottles so it is sort of like outside air conditioning. It gets very hot and humid here for months and they have done well with that. Their hutch is also under a big oak tree.

Quote: no cold and not breathing I rubbed him till he came back

We call those "Lazarus babies;" it's surprising how often cold newborns can be brought back to life. Sometimes there is just no hope, but anytime I have chilled babies like that, I have to try.

I bred my new zealand white doe and buck earlier when it was almost all dark and looked like he might of bred once successfully ''maybe!''. So all together after the hundreds of times he tryed to mate her side or didn't do it from behind successfully he might of got 2 successfully. So of course I'll put a nestbox in the doe's cage about 3 days before the 31st day and see what happens and I might try and see how the doe acts and see what happens in a few days if I try it again but I'll keep you guys updated

Be care full though. Rabbits have a y shaped uterus, so they can get preg 2. One litter will be right and one deformed( deformed one is usually gloppy)

I will watch out for it,and I was wandering how far along(if she's pregnant) can I put a handful of straw in her cage and see if she starts carrying it around or trying to make a nest with it to see if she's pregnant???

3weeks up until she gives birth.
