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

Hi all,
Haven't posted in a while and just thought I'd share a lesson learned the hard way. I had one of my does next to my buck in separate cages. They weren't even directly against eachother, there were a few inches between the cages. I have no idea how it happened, but they got creative and the doe was bred through the wire. Bud had quite a ways to 'reach', I'm still not sure how this happened, but today I noticed the telltale kit movement in my doe's belly. So, I've learned something today and thought I'd pass it along to some other newbies: Don't keep your bucks right next to your does folks! The odds may not be great, but I have learned firsthand that an unintended pregnancy can happen through the wire! Time to prepare for babies I guess

It happened to my friend once. I keep my doe and buck in a double hutch (speerated), but tied a piece of plexiglass to the wire divider to keep them more selerated. They can still sniff each others faces, but they cannot breed.

Just brought home three new rabbits - mini rex's.... They're loving their new home, it appears. Curious little buggers.

They are cute, but I don't think those are Mini Rexes. Based on your picture, they seem to have long hair! They are some kind if mix, of what I don't know. They are very curious! You'll love them!

They don't have long hair - it looks like it in the photo, I know - but, it's really short, amazingly soft hair. Guessing it was the light, or something.

If the hair really is Mini Rex, then they might be molting. Or, if they are young, they are shedding their baby coats. They are cute though!

Cute hutch and bunnies!
They still don't look like rex rabbits from that picture, though. Maybe a close up on the fur? I'm just so curious now that I've seen two pictures of them with fluffy looking fur.

**laughs** Sure, let me see if I can get one of the little buggers to sit still for me. The last time I tried, I wound up with a rabbit chase going on

I agree. Perhaps it is their baby coat?

I have a agree as well, a rex's fur has a certain look to it because it does feel like "velvet" so regardless of color it has a bit of a "hue" to it. A close up would help. How old are they and where did you get them from??
