She seem to have made them a nest but is now just laying on them is this normal? is there anything we should DO???





ThanksMy sisters rabbit has unexpectedly given birth to 3 kittens?
You need to get her a proper nest box and separate her from 'dad' and any other rabbits. Remove and dispose of the deceased baby. Then this site will give you all the information you need to know about caring for her and the babies: http://www.rabbit.org/care/babies.htmlMy sisters rabbit has unexpectedly given birth to 3 kittens?

Will my rabbit having babies effect her in the long term?

I have a really sweet calm friendly rabbit and she really likes one of my male rabbits and i was wondering if i bred her would it effect her personality in any way?or her in any other way???








(1 of my other rabbits had babies and if any thing she is friendlier but maby that was just her.)


???





(the person hew ACTUALLY answers my q. or has good advice WILL get best answer)


thanx.Will my rabbit having babies effect her in the long term?
Mabey after having the babies and they were grown up a bit she would be friendlier but i cant see her being friendlier while she was pregnent and after the babies were born. Most animals (including bunnies) get pretty nasty and protective while having babies. Thats how my bunny was. when she would have babies she would get meaner. just like my lovebirds lol.. but if she is suuuuper sweet and really really trusts you like a lot and knows for absolute positive that you would never ever try to take or harm her babies (and not just becuase you want to think she trusts you that much but cuz she really does) then she would be sweet i bet and want to share her babies with you. If you are like a mother to her she would probably still be sweet. In the long run, no she wouldnt be meener but while her babies are young she would be very protective. another thing is if she realizes that you like her babies too and play with them in front of her (NOT UNTIL THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO BE ON THERE OWN THOUGH you dont want her to abandon them) then she would be like oh hey, this persons really nice and she would just love you and definatly trust you even more.


Good luck with the babies if they ever come!Will my rabbit having babies effect her in the long term?
I have bred and shown rabbits for nearly 12 years now and find that if a doe is friendly before having babies, then she should continue to be friendly after the babies.





The only time a doe may get grumpy is when she is about 14 days plus in her pregnancy- like all pregnant women things tend to get on top of her and she could moan and grown a little bit





If you are intending to mate your doe what age is she now? If she is over 5 months of age that should be fine. Also, remember to count 31 days from the mating and write it down in your diary as this will be the expected due date of the babies. A week before this you will need to make sure that she is clean and that you have given her some barley straw to help her make a nest - by the way don't panic if you see her pulling fur at this time as it is natural for her to do this, she is making a nest for her new arrivals. If by 33 days she has not produced any babies then you may take it that she has missed.





I hope that this is of some help to you.
Well i've been breeding rabbits for 7 yrs now and it really depends on the rabbit it self. The only thing to do is to breed her and handle her through the whole pregnancy so she under stands that your with her and make sure you don't over handle her to make her upset either.

I want to buy a lion head dwarf rabbit but I don't know where to buy them any help? breeders or pet stores?

I just need to know which would be the better place..or if you know of any others...Because I know of some friends who didn't end up getting the rabbit they asked for and what not. thanks for the help!I want to buy a lion head dwarf rabbit but I don't know where to buy them any help? breeders or pet stores?
Defnately don't buy from a petstore!


I suggest buying from a breeder locally (google Rabbit Breeders in ______) or go to a rabbit show and get a high quality rabbit! You can go the http://www.arba.net/showinfo.htm and search for your state and find a rabbit show that will be going on close to you. You may even find a rabbit you like even more than the lionhead.


Good Luck! :)I want to buy a lion head dwarf rabbit but I don't know where to buy them any help? breeders or pet stores?
buy from a breeder.....talk to that person on how to correctly raise the bunny.. talk about feed, breeding. Ask questions... and be able to contact them if you have any problems..
Defiantly go for a breeder or a rescue. Although a rescue probably won't have a Lionhead, but if they do, go for it. It is generally cheaper and you get better quality than a pet store. I could go to a breeder and get a pedigreed rabbit for about $40, where at a pet store, it is $60 or more for a rabbit of unknown origin.


To find a breeder, look at your local rabbit breeder organization. It varies by country and region. They should have a list of breeders either by area or breed. You may have to travel a bit to get one.


Just so you know, it's just a Lionhead. They are a small breed that weights a maximum of 3.5lbs.
Yeah, those kinds of rabbits are rare, so you'd probably have to get one from a breeder. They are adorable though!!

  • Will a thicker fur be better for a rabbit if you are allergic to cats?

    Also i cant have a lop eared one becasue my friend has 1 and am allergic to it however the agouti type of one im ok with so wot other type of fur one can i have,,x???Will a thicker fur be better for a rabbit if you are allergic to cats?
    I have 2 lop eared and 1 dutch rabbit. I am not allergic to the point I break out, but I do have allergies, the sniffing, sneezing, watering etc. My 2 lopped eared rabbit shed like crazy and just petting them at times can set my allergies off. It worse when the AC is on because the house is all closed up and the allergens just circulate around the room. The dutch rabbit is not as bushy. The fur is fine, and although she still sheds at times, I generally have less of a reaction to her fur.Will a thicker fur be better for a rabbit if you are allergic to cats?
    What you allergic to is the dander on the cats, dander is produced by the animal grooming/cleaning itself and then the saliva dries and produces dander which then becomes air-borne. So probably, no matter what you do, you are going to have a reaction unless you regularly take an antihistamine.

    How does a rabbit evolve to be what it is now?

    A website..............


    Or somethin...................How does a rabbit evolve to be what it is now?
    They are lagomorpha and evolved from primordial rodent like creatures.





    The ears aided them in hearing as did their legs speed. Evolution exaggerated these traits





    Clearly no one else knew what evolution is.





    Half of Earth Rabbit species are endangered making them the most vulnerable mammal species...who knew?





    Darwin's Theory is not adaptation. It is survival of the fittest.





    READ, for the love of God people, READ@!!!!How does a rabbit evolve to be what it is now?
    Evolution is bunk, rabbits look the same now as they did on the day they were created.
    Hunters would carry the rabbit tied to their belt by the ears. In time it stretched their ears. If, the rabbit was able to escape, it would then return to the wild to influx the stretched ears into the DNA of other rabbits.

    adaptation, natural changes, and evolution
    It doesn't, evolution is a lie.
    It keeps eating carrots and having lots of babies.
    Ha! Ask a magician!


    Evolution is a t-h-e-o-r-y as in someone's imagination.

    it adapts to the enviornment

    Where can I get essential oils (aromatherapy) for my rabbit?

    I heard it helps with colds, stress etc. What's you're opinion on using it and is it safe? How often should I use it and could you label all the oils and what they do? Also can you label prices and where to get it?





    Also any background info and experiences!! Thanks soooo much (:Where can I get essential oils (aromatherapy) for my rabbit?
    Aromatherapy works on the placebo effect.





    The placebo effect does not work on animals.





    Aromatherapy will therefore not work on your pet.





    If you have any concerns about your pet's welfare, take it to a vet. Who knows what suffering you could put it through by relying on scam treatments that don't work even for humans?Where can I get essential oils (aromatherapy) for my rabbit?
    This is someone that you can tall has not looked into aromatherapy and all the studies there have been. They need to do more homework before talking about a subject that they do not know about!. As for using Aromatherapy on your Rabbit, No do not do it, the Essential oils are way to strong for them.

    try using a Hydrosol AKA flower water for them. Lavender and Chamomile would be good ones, and as Dave told ya take the Rabbit to the vet just to make shore they are ok.
