    The Quack Shack

    I'm still here, still hating being in the city, and still missing my ducks and chickens.

    Time to put up Private Property and No Trespassing signs, I would think.

    Had to share this one of my two-week-old Belgian Hare/Tan cross:

    Second litter born, if a bit later than an hour. Only five, but they are big and fat! These are from the litter born last night. First pic are the non-Rex, second pic are the Rex: And these are from today, all Rex: Can't wait for them to start getting fur!

    BABIES! And I got a fairly good mix. Half are Rex, half have regular fur (mom was split to Rex). Got three with the pattern I was hoping for, although only one of those is Rex. Not much variety in colour though, just blacks and black otters. Waiting on the second doe that is due, she...

    When you consider that rabbits have eight nipples, a little bit. Most rabbits can handle ten babies although they may not get fed as much. My Flemish Giant doe had ten live kits that made it to weaning. One of my mixed breeds had nine, and although two of them were a bit scrawny they all made...

    Is it Spring yet??!! This weather is driving me nuts! I managed to get the rabbit cages cleaned out on Tuesday, when it was just above freezing. Had more babies born this week. These are full Standard Rex: Eight little squirmies. Looks to be 2x black, 3x blue, 2x blue otter, and 1x lilac...

    Calling All Rabbit Nutters

    Okay, so... Yes, I still think it's just moulting. Some rabbits can go practically bald from it. Friend of mine had a doe do just that. If there are no underlying problems, I say leave it be. I agree that you should be letting them figure things out between themselves unless blood *is*...

    I stopped getting notifications!!! Catching up on stuff, haven't read posts afterwards, but I would suspect moulting?

    That all depends on how cooperative the hidden and non hidden genes are, lol! I have the basics, it's just putting them all together which could be one generation, or five. At least a rabbit generation can be every six months.

    Mine actually preferred to dunk themselves in the snow as opposed to the water. They were very disappointing when Spring came. Each day there was less and less snow, and they pouted about it.

    Tri Standard Rexes?? The fun in making the tricolours is that you need a specific combination of genes to get them, *plus* a specific type of broken for good markings. Blanket/booted brokens are preferred, and you need to have Harlequin. I also love red rabbits, so working on those, too...

    Finally 'warming' up. Although the wind chill is still bad. It's -9 right now, feels like -14. Beats the -30!! Going to get better as the week goes on, with expected 0 on Sunday! I may wear a bikini! 🤣 Have a total of 28 baby bunnies, including the ones born a few days ago. Not all of...

    Yeah, currently around -21c here right now, with a -31 windchill. I *really* want winter to be over and done with!!! Oh, and I hurt my back shoveling earlier, as well as had a minor asthma attack due to the cold air.
