chill chill it's just a friendly discussion..
yueyi reporting from ipoh!!

before giving birth u can see signs like pulling of the fur to make nest for babies...then u should help out by preparing a nest box..

i never see my mummy rabbit carry her babies in her mouth before..keke..must be very cute..

hyorin with my friend in KL..she's ok just that got limited running space since i use the play pen..not nice la run all over my friends place..hehe..if my apartment she got the whole area to herself

Sorry to say that you are still not learning. Good luck and all the best!

well, if you are working day and night, why bother to have more bunnies? and i do agree with sangterap, let the pro breeder do their thing. you want more bunny, go pet shop and buy..

no the issue here is, he sought help frm this thread how to take care of baby bunnies or wot ought to be done for the safety of litters,pity but true he was criticised for having accidental birth....i think it was members duty to highlight him instead of blaming .

First of all, this is a free open forum for discussion.

Secondly, no one is blaming. When someone is lost, we always try to wake them up and what I see here is a common issue we face in this thread. Once in a while someone will come in distress and seek help for accidental litters. In my opinion and I believe everyone agree with me that before we embark into any hobby there should be at least be some research done.

I don't consider myself a pro but I feel sad to hear about accidental litters because at the end of the day, the babies do not make it. Everyone start from 0 but the right way to go is read up the basics first before attempting so that rabbits do not die in vain.

btw, wishing all celebrating

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR, GONG XI FA CAI!

hey, i hope you still reading this.
we are not blaming you. we just want to correct you. isn't this "seek for advice" is all about?
hmm.. are you really listening?

i have a rabbit for 8 years, i didn't know about this thread until i have another rabbit for adoption (but that's another story.); what i am saying is, you need to read a lot, it maybe hard text, but it's the package of being "grand parent". you need to really spare up your time and do some (more) research and reading! which is why i say, if you are working day and night, why bother to have more bunnies? caring for pet is like caring for a kid, you love them and wanted the best for them, they don't grow old by themselves one day. it need a lot of commitment.

i know a lot of ppl would disagree with me of saying this: but the truth is sometimes, the advice/information here are not 100% accurate, true in all cases cos you need to consider, diff breed has diff nature, diff environment, diff mum and dad (they will learn from their parent) and diff master (pet knows and will respond to master's behaviour differently). in short, rabbit are just like human.. unique. diff rabbit diff character. if only you read up a lot, put it effort to try and apply what suits your rabbit the most.

and i need to remind you, most of ppl only knows how to raise a rabbit, but not much of us knows how to breed and what to do for babies.
regulars here would agree that most rabbit owners start their journey with a weaned rabbit. caring for a baby is what a breeder does. i mean, ask me, even a veteran (<-- may i call myself this, hehe) but still clueless about babies! but one thing i can be sure, stop reading this thread will definately reduce your bunnies chance to live (healthily)...

lastly, you think ppl here got nothing to do and just want to critizes you only? reading up this thread and writting this post also need a lot of time, which is precious. ppl here may offer advice, but whether you are listening or even accepting all this is another story altogether.

Everything is case to case basis.

Today is my son's birthday. I bought a pair of male rabbits for him as his birthday present. I know in the end I am the one will be taking care of them. I always find an excuse to buy something for myself, like that my hubby will not scold me that I keep on buying/adding pets.

My son likes the brown color Lion Head, he wants it to look like a lion as seen on the internet site. But deep down inside my heart, I am not very sure whether is it a pure Lion Head or not, even though the seller told me so. I am also afraid that later my son will be disappointed, if his Lion Head grown up doesn't look like a Lion Hair style.

It does look like having the mane gene. I am quite positive that it will have the lion's mane...

Thanks for confirming that. Will try to keep its fur fluffy. Purposely choose this color, so that it will look more like a lion when its fur grow bushy.

wow, i've only been away 4 a week and so much has been going on!

happy CNY folks!

P/S hector says- to all married folks and married buns out there, he accepts ang pows filled with various hay denominations!

Ur mix hotot looks exactly like my Odie! Hehehe.. Maybe they are distant relatives.

Last night I received my baby Teddy Bear rabbits which I ordered from the direct importer last week. Now I intend to collect all the breeds I like! I ordered a Woody Toy and Mini Holland Lop too, may be will get them by next week. Hubby still doesn't know about that, he hardly go inside my little zoo garden. But even if he found out, sometimes he pretends he didn't see them.

I must say that the Teddy Bear rabbits are very tiny in size, but they seem very healthy even though they came from Thailand farm. They are actively jumping around, and eating "kuat" too! The white color one looks like Mashimaro cartoon character. I think this pair is male too.

Out of curiosity, did you check how old these bunnies are? They look a bit young actually from 2 indications:
- their fur is still rather fuzzy. The baby fur coat tends to look like this.
- the size proportions of their head to their body. Their heads tends to be rather big compared to the rest when they're babies.

The seller said 1 month old. He brought along some 2 months old, and 5 months old to show me the size of the rabbit (those are his pets). My gosh, his Kancil car was full of rabbits, easily 40, I think. He delivered around Klang Valley before came to my place, nearly 10pm. I could see his wallet was full of Thai Baht! He obviously came directly from Kayu Hitam to KL within a day. Luckily the rabbits I bought from him, today still actively eating and poo nicely. I checked regularly just to be sure the young rabbits are in good shape. These Teddy Bear are braver than the other pair, they are not scare of my dogs barking sound at all.
