if a pregnant female charges at me on 3 April, it would have given birth by now, it may be a male then.
btw, its not normal for rabbits to attack, unless it a dwarf breed though, dwarfs are a bit more tempramental than other breeds.
neway, hope u guys bond well later on.

Lol.... i was wondering if maybe hes playful lol ....


he likes to nibble on my pants and leg...

hey, i'm a new guy here and going to have a rabbit soon.
first, may i noe male or female do u guys recommend to get?
second, any penang island vet recommend?
lastly, around how much does it cost for spaying or neutering?
thanks in advance for the information!!

hi guys, i ave a probs with my rabbit n perhaps i need an expert advice here:

1. my male rabbit seems do not know how to "mating"...seems like he do not find the hole (if u know what i mean). is that normal?

2. why my female rabbits keeps on rejecting the male rabbit even though they had been together approx. about 5months already?

thanks

I would suggest an adult female, adult females are easier to litter train, adult males however will start jumping around your leg n squirting pee at u once they are bonded hahaha, its their way of telling they love you - good luck!

Don't know if TS allows breeding discussions in this thread.
However please respect that
1) rabbits are induced ovulator n a second induction on around the 12th hour after first induction will kill the first batch of babies
2) rabbits are solitary animals in a mildly bounded colony - means they can tolerate neighbours but still would appriciate it more to have time on their own. Even so, having a neighbour will stress a parturating female.
3) babies are borned blind n helpless, usually at times when no one is around - the presence of another rabbit around will stress the mother n she will eat her babies, even if she did not, the father may accidently stamp on the babies during postpartum mating n again - mother will dispose the dead babies by eating them - no such nonsence as males eating babies though. You may not be there to witness this however.
4) in cases of successful postpartum mating, mothers will wean the babies at as soon as three weeks old to prepare for next litter of babies, at that age the babies ( i mean domestic rabbit babies) are not fully ready to embrace the world on their own as yet.
5) with proper diet, rabbits mature at 12 weeks old.Together for 5 months? I wonder how many babies have u unknowingly killed.
6) in M'sia, so many people are abusing rabbits in the name of love by thinking that rabbits are like cats - at which they are not - n please research about rabbits before u even start to breed them, n in your case, i really think u should research about their nursing habbit - its totally in the contrary to a cats' nursing habbit, n this is the number 1 means of M'sians abusing their rabbits!
I do must stress that this post is not meant to insult u, just that there are too many abusive breeders around - of course they do that thinking that they love their rabbirs - n we wouldn't want to be another one of them
#To TS: Hope this does not violate ur rule here, Tq.

hi, just want to make myself clear here.

i got mummy rabbit just gave birth to 5 little bunniesss but since it was her first born babies, i think she doesn't know how to take care of them properly, maybe. she doesn't want to feed them(give them milk) n she peed on one of her babies once, n then the little bunny died, dunno why? is it because she peed on the baby? i dunno.

hi there, please research on these few questions;
1) in what means do u expect mummy to " take care of them"?
2) how proper is proper enough?
3) how does mummy sees to it that babies are safe?
4) how many times a day would mummy "give them milk"?

hint:
they're not carnivores, by nature they're prey - being at the bottom of the food chain, n that effects their behaviors. one thing for sure, mother rabbits will love their babies like would a rabbit do, not like would a dog or a cat!

*example, on the onset of incoming danger, a mother gaur(seladang) will kick their baby as hard as she can so that baby will end up being as far away from danger.. hehehe... well that's motherly love for them hahaha... but don't worry lah, its not what rabbits do, they just thump their feet when scared - but of course accidents can happen if a helpless baby is around while mother is thumping

it may only take a day for u to find out the answers, but many will take months to start believing - not to mention practising, so congratulations n good luck on the new litter.

Im looking for a rabbit. Any type, prefered the normal rabbit. I would like to buy a pair or free pls pm me. Prefer kl.pj.shah alam area. Tq

u can adopt it

Any discussion to expand the knowledge of fellow forumer is always welcome. That is the main function of this thread.

You share very good information...

It will be nice to see a dog and rabbit together. Perhaps you will be the first to do that. Make sure you start off having supervised play time for both of them. Don't leave them unattended. I believe if your puppy is really tame, it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck!
