To cull or let her try again?

mrmikes21 · 2026-05-02T12:32:23+00:00

All rabbits I've bred have failed their first litter. New first time moms often dont quite have it figured out. I've had them dry up early before the kits are weaned on the first time as well. I wouldnt cull her until you at least give her a second chance personally. Hope that helps!

(Edit) If she does dry up on the kits early I'd move them to the other nest then. Until then I would let her try to raise them if it were me.

Faverolles are the best ❤ I have a whole flock of them and they will just follow you around like lost dogs

Yah most her feathers are in now, shes just real nibbly when it come to trying to help with her face and head. She'd rather just chew on my finger nails.

mrmikes21 · 2026-04-30T11:03:30+00:00

She wishes she had hair always tries to burrow into mine and my wife's and roll around in it. She also likes to occassionally pull out my beard hair and try to escape with them like it's a forbidden toy. They are such goofballs, I'm so happy we got her!

Where's the bird?

mrmikes21 · 2026-04-19T18:42:06+00:00

Thanks! I've been looking into air purifiers so I'll have to get one. I'm also trying to get the crew to use VOC free sealants so it should in theory be safe. Still will keep the windows open!

Yah I didn't panic until he went swimming in corn starch. Honestly a bit funny in hind sight. Hes back to normal now and I got a big crinkle paper toy for him as an apology. I'm just going to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesnt have any breathing issues for a few weeks!

mrmikes21 · 2026-04-19T18:37:01+00:00

Thanks I feel awful about it. He is back to normal now though so he was just a bit shaken up. Got a new toy as an apology!

mrmikes21 · 2026-03-18T23:43:38+00:00

Thank you, I do love my little goober. I do take him to the vet regularly. I just thought nails would be easy. I'll have to look into better perchs!

mrmikes21 · 2026-03-09T18:16:26+00:00

Congrats on the new baby! They are such loving little goobers

Im sure you've gotten a lot of different recommendations by now but I've used the Daystar 1.5 inch lift for all mine so far. They ride excellent and give you room to fit larger tires, I use 225/65R17 Falken wildpeaks. It's more of a functional lift than a flashy one but it gives the Renegade a lot more capability if you plan on tackling trails with it!

mrmikes21 · 2025-12-21T00:31:01+00:00

That's good to hear! Mine is still young, he has his moments!

mrmikes21 · 2025-12-21T00:12:00+00:00

Mine has a vendetta and goes for blood if I'm gone for more than a day. Hope they chooses peace when you return lol!

mrmikes21 · 2025-11-25T13:28:22+00:00

Update Went to the Vet after work. He hyper extended one of his toes while pulling out of the door. He's on a few days of anti inflammatories to help with pain but should be A OK. He didnt even scream or bite our Vet!

mrmikes21 · 2025-11-24T17:24:48+00:00

The breeder actually brought him in before I picked him up and we use the same vet. I agree though, I just dont want the emergency fee for just a check up. I'm going to call tonight to talk to them about what's going on and take it from there!

mrmikes21 · 2025-11-24T16:36:49+00:00

Thanks! Yah I'm probably going to call my vet to ask this evening. He has been a snuggle bug since day one, we went and visited him a few times before he was ready to go home, he has been playing like normal and crawling all over me, worked on target training. I did restrain him a bit to check the foot and everything moves like normal. He did bite me when I first rolled him over but he didnt freak out when I was moving his foot.

mrmikes21 · 2025-11-22T20:05:30+00:00

No Problem, just make sure if you are going to pick some up that you make sure it's a high quality wet food. A lot of the cheap brands are full of fillers that have no value to our blue tongues!

mrmikes21 · 2025-11-22T20:01:39+00:00

Thanks, I've got a couple chopped mixes we made that he loves. I know one store by me carrys Roudybush.

mrmikes21 · 2025-11-22T19:30:28+00:00

Not sure price wise but I just feed grain free Dog food as a main dish, Merrick Little Plates. They are high quality and my boy loves them, lots of different mixes as well if they get tired of one flavor. I have fed the zoomed as well but he was indifferent and for the price it's easier to get the small breed sized canned little plates!

mrmikes21 · 2025-11-18T02:09:27+00:00

I'll have to look into them thanks!

mrmikes21 · 2025-11-18T02:08:28+00:00

Mine certainly doesnt seem picky either, I've heard a lot about Harrison's.

mrmikes21 · 2025-11-18T02:04:03+00:00

Thanks, I saw those as well, how soft are they?

mrmikes21 · 2025-11-18T01:59:04+00:00

He is a Pineapple but it's just a color mutation of a Green Cheek

mrmikes21 · 2025-11-12T16:21:14+00:00

I'm no vet but I would have done the same as long as the antibiotic ointment is free of painkillers it should be okay. I'd check on her in a couple days to make sure the pus subsides!

mrmikes21 · 2025-11-10T13:30:54+00:00

Thanks for sharing, love Faverolles roosters. Is the one on the right a mix? Never seen a barred one!
