I know there are also products available to deter cats and dogs from chewing on things (such as sprays) and it's possible that there might be options for rabbits as well - perhaps even remedies you can make yourself to use. I don't know anything on that topic though. My friend's kittens have decided they like chewing on slim cords (ie phone cords) so with them, we have to make sure the cords are put away when not in use and that we don't leave them unattended. It can be a bit of a pain, but better than going through 3 phone cords within two weeks again.

I think sour apple spray might work... I gave my rabbits Granny Smith apples as a treat and they got left untouched exept for one or two nibbles.

Does anyone else find it annoying when a adult enters their rabbits under their kids names in youth
When the kids don't do anything with the breeding and rabbits? I do -_-
Oh and also does anyone have any simple rabbit facts that someone that doesn't know anything
About rabbits could understand?
I have to make posters for youth fairs rabbit barn.

A.) I only show open because my stock started from some of the more well-known Rhinelander breeders, but that does bother me. It's rude and a cheap way to get a ribbon.

B.) TONS. shall I PM you a bunch of bunny facts?


Also, it seems time to breed. My does - some of the sweetest - have been snorting at me a bit recently and three have even gone so far as to box at me. Anyone else's does getting to be a bit rough with you? About ready for some babies over here.

My black Polish doe, Isabella, has been acting that way recently! And she was really sweet before. Is that why she's acting that way? I never realized that if so!

Moki had five kits yesterday! Except one was born underdeveloped so I got four healthy kits hopefully all orange! My specialties for my HL are going to be wideband and tort, I don't like full extension agouti lol
EDIT: I take that back! I do like opal, lynx and chin.
I'm just sticking to two colors that work together for now.
I originaly want to breed dilutes but it was a risk since the toenail
Color gets all wonky later on, I'm just going to leave that to my leader who swears by dilutes oh well

Possibly. It isn't uncommon for does to get a bit nasty when those hormones come into play. How old is she? And with does, cage aggression is a possibility. If she's fine when you get her out but aggressive in the cage, it's likely that she's just territorial. If she's not cage aggressive I'd try her with a buck, yes. It's that time of year! But always be careful when breeding... If she doesn't want to, things can get kinda nasty kinda fast.

Also, breeder question: Have any of you had a doe who, for whatever reason, hates a specific buck? I imagine she dislikes him because of something wrong with him. She will breed with others in the barn that same day, but absolutely will not under any circumstances breed to him. Anyone had a similar issue?

Oh yeah. I have an AmChin doe that refuses to breed with older bucks (anything older than 1 year) but she will lift if the buck is young. And her daughter is the opposite. Won't breed to young bucks, only older. So I wouldn't say for them that it is a specific buck but more specific range. I have a Giant that hates bucks and no matter how much she lifts her tail, she flattens her body making it impossible for the buck.

If you have another doe, put her with the buck to see if the response is the same. Ir not I am she he is fine, just do a health check to make sure.

broken orange holland lop? possibly? I raise tort and orange holland lops :D
i have a broken orange that is the cutest right now, her name is orange 50/50.
Rabbits that have "spots" are called broken or charlie. A charlie has alot less color than a broken. There are also booted rabbits
that have too much color so they usually have socks and a chest markings.
