Palpated my doe on Friday. She is not prego. So, I don't know if it is the buck or doe where something is wrong, but I need to find out soon!

@SternRose
 That buck wouldn't do anything on a show table-he'd be instantly DQ'd. You can't show a rabbit that has parts missing. Rabbits are often DQ'd for claws that have broken off too short for the judge to determine their color.

As far as tips on what to look for, as long as there aren't too many stray white hairs, black and otter are fairly easy colors to get right. Type is by far the tougher consideration; here's a link on how to judge that: http://cottonwoodfarms.tripod.com/pencil.html

 Congrats on your new litter!

There are a whole bunch of recessives that could be lurking behind otter and black, so no, there's nothing odd about a couple of lighter colored babies. Now you have the fun of trying to figure out what they are!

He did great on the 4-h show table got reserved castor. but didnt win breed. judge missed his missing toes, but someone told me there was enough numb to count as a toe nail. So I went with it.
What's your opinion on Lexi?

No one told me those little 3 day old bunnies would pee all over me!!! LOL

They have enough fur now I can get a idea of what they will look like. 3 are Otter like the doe, 1 is all black like the buck, 1 is all chocolate brown, the other is chocolate brown with the lighter otter pattern. Is the last one called anything special.

...and no fare not telling me I would get squirted.

A kind of funny trick someone taught me has to do with the fact that very young buns often pee when you pick them up. With a little female, the urine just kind of dribbles down the tail; if it can shoot you in the eye, it's usually male!

By the time bunnies get their eyes open, they usually get over the peeing on you thing.

LOL well one of them is defiantly a boy. He sprayed me good.

Reminds me of the first few diaper changes of our son as a baby. (shush don't tell him I told you that

)

HELP! She's been like this for a week no! What's wrong?
She's only 2weeks old almost 3:

She's always got stuff caked on her so I'm cleaning her with a baby wipe 2-4 times a day. She's the runt, her big sister is 2x bigger than her.
