LOCK? DELETE? OLD Rabbit Owners- NEW LINK INSIDE

[The Mean Kitty]

On another, happier note. Gwen is pulling hair! Hoping for some healthy babies. <3 As of right now I suspect she'll only have 2, maybe 3, 1 being a peanut. Unless for once she isn't going to have a peanut. Honestly I'll be kind of glad if it's a small litter. xD

And perhaps to discourage and avoid unintentional breedings, couldn't breeders have rabbits spayed/neutered before selling or giving away the ones they choose not to show/breed? That seems like an obvious answer to me. Keeps 'bad' lines from going on, prevents uneducated owners from ending up with rabbits because they didn't know information like sexual maturity, sex of their rabbits, gestation period, etc. Sure, in many cases a pet bunny won't meet another pet bunny that might get it pregnant, but if you feel that does play a large role, are breeders doing something to prevent that?

I don't think rabbits can be fixed at the age some breeders chose which rabbits to take to pet stores I think it would be to risky to mess with sedating them at that age, I could be wrong.
I personally don't want my rabbits to go to stores and be bought most likely on impulse, I would rather meet the person and know they have my contact to let me know if they need help or something goes wrong.
I don't think anyone rabbit rescue people or breeders could do anything to avoid it from happening.
Me personally I do try to educate the public about care and info with rabbits, when they say "our bunny keeps having babies" I say "you have to take the buck out and then it will stop, I can show you how to sex your rabbits if you want" once I actually got a answer like this "no we actually like it we make a lot of money" that makes me a little ticked. I just wish that if people want to breed you could at least make them purebred. But I know not everyone gives a care. I also think most of the problem is uneducated pet store employees they should at least know how to properly know how to sex a rabbit, it really is not that hard and have good care guide pamphlets in the store.

Yayyyyy!!!!! Fingers crossed for healthy kits!

Well, things could've been better... 3 babies, 2 peanuts. One was stillborn, the other is alive but who knows for how long. We have one healthy baby. Feeling kind of sad about that, but still glad for that one baby. Maybe it'll be like it's oldest sister, only one in the litter but one of the best rabbits I've ever had. =P You can bet it'll be a spoiled one when it's older just like Kyla was, haha.

Oh no! I am so sorry!! Do you have a foster mom for the little guy?

[The Mean Kitty]

No, I don't. I'm not worried about him though. Gwen's first litter was the same as this one pretty much, only it was 2 babies and 1 was a peanut, the other was Kyla. It was the same time of year too when she had them. So if her first litter she could raise up one amazing baby I'm sure she can this time too. ;3

Hello everyone! I thought I'd introduce myself as I'll probably be asking a lot of questions soon.

I'm fairly new to rabbits (Though I own and know a good bit about guinea pigs) but I've done lots of research about them. I'll be temporarily caring for a friend's rabbit who is disabled along with his cage mate. Both are male dwarf rabbits.
