This subreddit is now an archive meant to keep the definition of the word “rabbitry” consistent and to prevent its use in misinformation both from extremist house rabbit communities and rabbit dispatch communities.

Unfortunately the guy I got these from was bad at sexing. Odd since he has pedigree paperwork and all that. Anyways, could anyone try and identify these? Supposed to have one male And two females but we're just having trouble.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

We have a big field that currently has a lot of tall grass that has seeded. I was wondering if I can harvest some to give to my rabbits? I know I'd have to introduce it slowly, etc, but I was curious if the seeds are OK for them or if I should cut that part off?

Any advice about this would be great. Thanks!

I want to set up a footbath for biosecurity at the entrance of my shed, but I often allow my terrier into the shed to deal with any vermin. Anyone know which disinfectants I can also use on the dog’s feet, or ideas for a different route?

Hi y'all, my wonderful doe just delivered 6 beautiful kits yesterday. They've been very active in their nest box. My concern is that they refuse to stay clumped together. I've read on one page that it is not normal behavior. We have a tiny backyard homestead in the North Texas area. It has consistently been in the high 80s this week. Could they be too warm to need each other's body heat? What could be the issue and how concerned should I be?

Update: Thank you all for your comments and advise! We have decided to move our doe and her kits inside to avoid the risk of heat stroke. All 6 kits are well and fed!

We think we had our first successful mating after some unsuccessful attempts. The male didnt fall off but there was a definite hard final thrust and a bit of seizing up at the end of his mating, and our doe definitely had her tail raised. Do you have males that dont "Fall off" completley? Do you think ours was sucessful?

How long should you wait to let your bunny grieve after the death of their bonded mate? Fiona is so lost and sad without him. She’s 3 and has only ever been with her litter or with Bun. He was 9 and lived a long, happy life but she watched him and I tussling with a fox.

Because of the pandemic, adoptions are almost impossible to come by but I know she is so lonely. She hasn’t detached from my side since it happened last week. She’s eating and taking the medication the vet gave her like a champ, but she’s still moving really slowly. She knows he’s dead but she wouldn’t groom him afterwards because he smelled so much like the fox. I think she’s just traumatized (as am I) and sad but I don’t really know how to help her.

The only behavioral change she’s had is that when she’s upset by something (mostly my 12 yr old trying to help) she will pee on them. Like sit on them and just make a giant puddle.

Can anyone give me an idea of bunny grieving and how soon is too soon to find her a new companion. Maybe also some ideas of how to help her.

Thank you so much!

My bunnies keep digging. Today at like 1 pm we moved the rabbit hutch to a new spot so they can eat new grass but one of them keeps digging. In 3 hours that one has Dug 4 holes.

Can someone help?
