Raising rabbit kits is delicate work. These tiny lives depend on your care, attention, and environment. Sadly, many kits die not because of disease—but because of simple mistakes that can be avoided. Here’s how to protect them and give them the best start in life.

TOO MUCH HANDLING
Touching newborn kits too often can upset the mother. She may reject them or stop feeding. Their bodies are fragile, and rough handling can cause injury. For the first week, only handle when absolutely necessary—and always with clean hands to avoid transferring strange scents.

DIRTY NEST BOX
A dirty nest is a death trap. Wet or soiled bedding breeds bacteria, maggots, and skin infections. It also makes the mother rabbit uncomfortable. Keep the nest dry and clean. Replace dirty bedding regularly to keep the kits safe and healthy.

NOT ENOUGH MILK
If the mother isn’t producing enough milk, kits can starve quietly. This can happen due to stress, poor feeding, or rejection. Check daily to make sure they’re feeding. If not, act fast—use a proper milk replacer to save the litter.

COLD NEST
Newborn kits can’t regulate their body temperature. If the nest is cold or damp, they lose heat quickly and may die within hours. Use dry bedding and line the nest with the mother’s fur. Keep the area warm and draft-free.

PREDATOR ATTACKS
Rats, ants, cats, and other predators can kill kits in minutes. Protect your rabbit hutch with fine mesh, raised cages, and secure housing. Check regularly for pests. Prevention is better than heartbreak.

BAD VENTILATION
Poor airflow causes heat, moisture, and ammonia buildup. This leads to breathing problems and infections. Make sure your hutch has good ventilation—fresh air without direct wind. Dry bedding and clean air help kits grow strong.

IGNORING WEAK KITS
Some kits are born smaller or weaker. They can be pushed aside during feeding and starve. Watch closely. Give them warmth and hand-feed if needed. A little extra care can save a life.

Every kit matters. Protect them with love, hygiene, and smart care. 🐰❤️

Chives is unfortunately not bred to Maverick, so we will not be having a litter from them…
Our next plan will be to breed Chives again or Little to one of our herd bucks or to an outside male if anyone is willing to stud one out. Preferably, one that is black with nice fur and good silvering!

AGOUTI COLORED RABBITS, Domestic or Wild?

Every year we see social media posts of rabbits and people are asking, “Are they Domestic or Wild?” How do you know if the rabbit you see is a stray or dumped domestic or wild? When presented with agouti-colored rabbits, it can be difficult if you don’t know what to look for.

If you see a lop-eared, albino, spotted, solid colored & usually, long-haired rabbit, you are probably pretty sure the rabbit is domestic. However, less obvious is a domestic rabbit with agouti coloring. Agouti is the natural coloring of many small animal species, including cottontails and jackrabbits. Agouti coloration is a type of hair pattern where each hair displays multiple bands of pigmentation, resulting in a grayish-brown or dull-brown appearance. In animals with agouti fur, individual hairs typically have a black or brown band at the base, followed by a lighter band of yellow or red, and finally a tip that is typically black.

We think of “agouti” coloring on a rabbit as the color of the North American cottontail or jackrabbit, kind of speckled brown. Outside of the occasional albino cottontail/jackrabbit most ALL will be the speckled brown color, but did you know there are numerous domestic rabbits that are various agouti colors? (Keep in mind that our domestic house rabbits are descendants of European wild rabbits.)

Tomorrow - the many shades of the agouti!

Happy Easter from my Easter bunnies to yours! 🐰🐣

Once in a while people contact us trying to donate the remaining items from their deceased rabbit, and we're deeply moved by their loss. However, we always ask the cause of death to ensure that nothing contagious is brought to the rescue.
In this particular case, a lady's bunny, who was only 5 months old, had a severe intestinal blockage.
In rabbits, a blockage in the intestines can cause a rupture if it leads to a build-up of gas and fluid, leading to severe distention and potentially fatal complications.
She was able to bring her bunny, Danny, to the vet, but he passed away despite all the medical attention.
According to the lady, the veterinary was stunned to see how distended the poor Danny's belly was.
Upon necropsy undigested seeds and corn kernels were found inside his digestive contents.
Upon reviewing what could possibly be the cause, she then realized that what had changed in his diet was the addition of a corn treat, which unfortunately is widely sold in pet stores and not safe for rabbits, despite the fact that the bag has a picture of a rabbit.
Said treat might be safe for rodents, but definitely not for rabbits, who are lagomorphs, and their digestive system is designed for processing fibrous plant matter, not seeds.
Some seeds, like corn kernels and Canadian peas, have hulls that are indigestible and can cause life-threatening intestinal blockages.
Let's learn from this heartbreaking experience and make a conscious effort to provide our rabbits with a safe and healthy diet.
Let's be their voice and advocate for their well-being.
They only have us to care for them and ensure they live a happy and healthy life.
