ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

Hi

I need some advice if anyone can help?

I bought Olivia 2 rabbits last month and was told they were 2 girls.
Olivia was so intense in watching them in the garden yesterday, i asked her if they were ok.

She came in and said they were fighting, to my amazement they were humping like rabbits do.
Now i have either 2 lesbian rabbits or they are male and female.

If they are male and female how long before i see the products of babies. And if anyone knows if they need separating once daphne has her babies, and can i get scoobydo snipped?

(she called them scoobydo and daphne even though they were meant to be girls lol)

Any advice would be great. Also since yesterday i have seen them humping away on a couple more occasions. ( i want to come back as a rabbit in my afterlife :D;))

Bet they`d taste great in a stew ;)

Take them to the vets and ask for a free neuter check. they will sex them for you and yes you can get male rabbits castrated and females speyed. We once had 2 rabbits andf they were both males and the dominant male kept trying to mate the other within an inch of its life, had to get rid of one as it was cruel! Think if it is male and female that you do have to separate them when they have babies

Hi,

I have 3 rabbits, 2 boys and a girl, I would strongly recommend getting them neutered as soon as they are old enough. Males at 5 months, females at8 months. They could be both girls or both boys as rabbits are a little crazy and their hormones will make them hump doesn't matter what the other gender of the rabbit is!!

Getting them neutered controls their temper and makes them far more affectionate. They can become quite agressive if they are left un-neutered, as we found out while waiting to have them done.
If they are females they have 80% chance of getting uterine cancer, if left un-neutered.

I wouldn't separate them if you can help it. We did that and the 2 boys hated each other and will fight every time we try and put them back together. It is awful to see them.

I would recommend buying a rabbit book. I particularly like The House Rabbit.

Hope this helps and sorry if it is long winded reply.

:ohmy::rofl::rofl: I cant stand no more soooooooooo funny........:rofl:

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

Contrary to popular belief, the Iti's don't actually put onion AND garlic in a dish together, they say the flavours fight against each other.

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

I never knew that :confused: I will try just garlic in my next meal and see if there is a difference :D

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

I have been told that its the Italian chefs that started mixing the two, the actually Iti's use one or 'tother!

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

Who are the Iti`s?

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

Italians.

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

And yet the Asians use then together extensively :
Basis for a good curry sauce:

2LB of onions
2OZ of garlic
2OZ of green ginger
2 and 3 quart pint of water
1 Tin of tomatoes
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of tomatoe puree
1 teaspoon of turmeric
1 teaspoon of paprika
8 tablespoons of veg oil


Anyone interested in what to do with this recipe,give me a shout
Anyone want to know what to do with this give me a shout.............:)

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

The spices tent to take over anyway, it is just used for depth of flavour, whereas Italian food tends to be very simple and relies more on subtlety.

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

Maybe but there,s nothing like a good curry.........I wonder how rabbit would do in a curry..........:eek:

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

Its lovely, had it Tandoori style.

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

I just love it,I took up Asian cookery a few years ago,nothing out of a jar,I blend my own masala,s and make chappati,s and Nans,oh all sorts, it will be useful when I live in Spain and there is not an Indian restaurant in sight..:thumbup:

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

I grew up with Indian food, our houseboy was Pakistani, as well as Middle eastern and Persian food.


My absolute fave is Mexican though.

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

Good for you,how nice.........I dont think I got to taste a curry till I left home and that was in a resturante,it was unheard of to eat it when I was young,OMG Im not that old either........:blink:

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

How longs a piece of string.........:frown: not to long I hope,I think Im having a party when I get there.........hey is your hubby back yet,are you getting some treats, and how is your little babe doing ......:wub:

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

I gave up on the pork pies last time, so I have now asked for malt bread. Lets see what I get :lol: He is back tomorrow night. My babes is fine, just too hot but coping ok.

Well this thread has been well and truely hijacked :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

I know,I promised myself I was not going to spend much time on here today,I keep going off and doing little jobs, I v just polished a light switch :ROFL: hope you get your malt bread....you never know what he may turn up with hey..........:D

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

I know this thread has moved on vastly since I last posted, but just one more thing with the rabbits. Yes she can get pregnant, female rabbits release an egg after they have mated, something to do with the chemicals!! :ohmy:
The vets will only operate when they're reproductive organs are fully mature, as especially for females it is a very dangerous operation when they are young. So you would be able to get "the boy" done first, but like someone else wrote take them to a vet they can tell the sex of them a lot easier than a layman. We tried but it's way too difficult.

Any more questions please feel free to PM me :thumbsup:

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY Derbyflan
 

Even the bloody title has moved along!

Re: ADVICE ON RANDY RABBITS
 

Well would you believe my O/H used to breed rabbits has a boy,and he says You would be able to sex them yourself by having a close look.If you have a male and female and they have bred you will hear the patter of tiny feet in August and be enjoying the stew in November,one other thing the buck and doe will have to be seperated or he will attack the young,this is for real life not beatrix potter...........:eek::eek:
