Thank you, he has very strong genes. The lady I got him from said he has thrown a kit that looks exactly the same every litter with mine being no exception.

How many Netharland Dwarf varieties are there?

There may be more added since the last time I was at a show (close to 10 years ago), but at that time there were 24 individual varieties, divided into 5 groups.

Hey guys. Question: I have a lot of bamboo/cane on my property. If I cut the poles down to 2" pieces and stuff with hay will my rabbits be okay with that?

Buster looks great! Score! He will be happy to make you babies! I start my bucks at 5/6 months but they are starting to hump everything by about 4 months. I just read somewhere, if you make them wait...you get bigger litters. So far my litters are 10-12 kits with virgin aged to 5 1/2- 6 months bucks and around 7-8 kits on 4-5 month olds. Seems that extra time helps here so far. Could be just my different bucks tho!

I got him from a friend that lives about a minute down the road for free because she wanted him as a pet but she said he humps everything so she's getting a netherland dwarf. Anyway he is around 12 weeks old and a new zealand white I named him Buster. I'm ready to breed my new zealand white doe but forget when they are old enough to breed and everything go alright. Your not supposed to breed a buck that's too young or old cause it might not take. But I wanted to share my new buck![/COLOR]

I'd like to know this myself! Tons of pesticide free bamboo here...what a good idea. I stuff toilet paper cardboard rolls full of herbs and they have at it. I supervise and pull the roll after a few flings lol I'd love not to use the cardboard, not babysit a snack worried in case they ingest some.
I know the wild buns her nest under the washed out soil tunnels of the bamboo root systems, but never thought to watch them and see if they eat it too...

I have bamboo, too and that would solve them always having something hard to keep their teeth down. They just finished eating their third willow tunnel. I don't mind providing them, but cut bamboo out of my yard is even better.

Not my resource, but this website says to never feed bamboo. Apparently, the fiber strands are too long and can cause digestive problems. I don't have any experience with this, so some people may successfully feed bamboo. Maybe if you cut it into short pieces?

 

[Angelicisi]

I would agree heed the advice. The bamboo is specially digested by a panda with a gut of steel. Darn it. Would have been Awesome to utilize that way! So No.

I'd think think even chopped fine it'd be difficult to digest. I'll keep chopping & burning it
