Looks like these ones were 10-12 days old! :) Rabbits are fun!

Remember, that is your opinion! Feel free to vote that way! As I stated, I understand both perspectives. But lets be civil. ❤️

Thanks! My black sr buck took 20th out of 58, black jr buck took 10th out of 33, and my chocolate doe who is a junior I entered into a senior class took 11th I think out of 19. ICE was entered in white fur and took 9th out of 10, lol.

Thanks! Let me know what other topics interest you.

What kind of nationals content interests you the most?

Judging. The whole show the auction and the banquet and interviews

For what?

I love her! She’s very generous and caring. And silly! Thank you.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching!

Thanks for being here!! Let me know if there are any specific videos you want to see.

Thanks for watching, I hope it wasn’t too lengthy and rambling! SO much to cover.

Glad you liked it! If you have any areas of interest, I’d love to make whatever videos I can that you are wanting to see.

@@amarahsrabbitry1073 will do, I’ll talk to my daughter I’m sure there would be a list 😂

Yes, the dwarf gene now exists in almost any line of polish you can fund due to breeding in dwarfs for color variation and breed development. There are pros and cons to any breed’s development but overall the dwarf gene in Polish has been FAR less damaging than in NDs in my experience. Way more polish live than NDs. But it’s a consideration when making herd decisions!

@@amarahsrabbitry1073 100% we have had a few but not nearly as many as normal healthy Polish kits.

It’s kinda fascinating if it’s not overly complex!😁

Totally!!

That’s great because they are my breed of interest so there will be more about them! I think in MN and WI they are more popular than other areas!

Rest assured-they were not hurt. I’ve raised rabbits for 7+ years and when they are young, handling them this way occasionally does absolutely no harm. In addition to that, I handle these babies a lot so they are at peace with me. I can assure you I care for my animals properly. Thanks for your concern though.

Thank you!

I’m glad you enjoy them! What else do you want to see?

Thanks for watching! 😊

Bucks’ testes don’t drop for a little while-you can’t see them as younger juniors so they can’t help you determine sex. As adults however, this is a clear sign. They are external and can be descended (full, cylindrical) or receded (shriveled skin).

It can be normal no matter what the breed for a doe to struggle the first time or two. Some does get it right away, but most have struggles off the bat. Including dead or scattered kits, bad nesting, or failure to care for them.

Thanks for the suggestion, good idea!

Honestly I highly recommend the EquaTat. I love the boldness. It never fades when using India Ink. And it’s affordable! You can get it by messaging EquaTat on Facebook which is a page I believe. On the other hand, I was pretty sure I have heard of people liking the inkinator. Just double check to make sure your needle isn’t dull or damaged and that you are using a great ink. Some inks need to be well shaken before use too. If it all checks out and still sucks, unfortunately you’ll need something else.

@@amarahsrabbitry1073 thank you Amarah!! I'll go over the list and see. I'll do just that and if it still isn't staying I'll buy the one you got now! I can tell how bold your tats are in this video!!

@@johnnam9289 They truly are so wonderful! I hope it works out for you!

@@amarahsrabbitry1073 thank you! And thanks for making all these videos! Love your channel ❤️

@@johnnam9289 It’s my pleasure really!!🐇❤️

Although I have been practicing at 2 weeks mark. Writing it down and then comparing between 6-8. Done okay so far. A few of mine at 2 weeks have the obvious donut hole. Some are just questionable.

True! I was more accurate at 2 weeks than 4 weeks this time I suppose! I definitely have 3 bucks and 2 does. These are Polish, which are my main breed. I will be making plenty of Polish content soon. Thank you! I built all of my own cages. I used trays from Rabbit Tracks and wire/equipment from Klubertanz. I do have a video on building a cage here as well. :) I find it’s always a buck or two getting mistaken as a doe when young. Rarely the other way around it seems! So I’ll withhold my final judgements until later but it’s great to practice!

@@amarahsrabbitry1073 yes I agree! Sometimes I think my does are bucks. But I'll get better eventually! And yes sometimes easier at 2 weeks then 4. Idk how people can tell at birth 🙄🤣 like how do you see Taco/donut 🤣

@@johnnam9289 From what I’ve heard its not determined that way but by the presentation of visible external genitalia as is-something about the space between both openings or something.

@@amarahsrabbitry1073 oh I know. I'm just being extra lol but maybe I'll see a difference one day lol I send everyone to your channel. I think you should do all aspects of the rabbitry and rabbits! Love it! Keep it up! 🐰💕

I got mine through Klubertanz along with all the other parts beside trays which were from Rabbit Tracks. Go to the Klubertanz Website. Click on Product Catalog. Click Browse. Scroll to the Ps and click on Plastic Door Liners. I ordered the 5ft pieces in purple (Z0). At the time they were $1.50/e and I got 20. Now they are $1.95/e. It was the perfect amount for me to line the interior cut for all 30 holes I built. You wanna do the math of course. The liners are very easy to cut using the wire cutters I also got from Klubertanz. Keep in mind if you are shipping, it is worth buying the shorter pieces because there is a higher fee for “long” packages in shipping. I got 5’ pieces because I picked up at a show. Best of luck!

Thank you for watching!

It definitely isn’t fun but it can’t keep me away!

Absolutely, I’d love to make more on genetics, breeding, and color genetics! Thanks for being here!

Thank you! I have decided to get a new tattooer-that one actually! Maybe I’ll make an updated video then. :)

I will definitely seek an opportunity to make one on them! We currently have a Red rex in the shed, but she’s a Standard Rex and much larger!

Yes, if you choose to go with the measurements I did! Let me know if you have any more questions!

​@Amarah’s Rabbitry where do you get your wire? I been using Tsc cages for awhile. But I really want to have my cages like yours in the barn.

Hi Elaine! I ordered my trays through Rabbit Tracks which is an equipment supplier in Midwest USA. I ordered over email and picked up at the Owatonna, MN show May 14th, 2022. I have never raised cavies, but with rabbits I know having the space I planned (6in) for the trays is ideal. Rabbits like to poop in one spot and it can build up so quickly. If that is not a concern, you can definitely make the gap smaller. I wouldn’t go under 4 inches however, as it gets cramped. Let me know if you have other questions. Thanks for watching!

So let me explain-a rabbit that carries one recessive max factor gene will appear completely normal! However if both parents carry this recessive and pass it down, you can get kits who have 2 max factor genes, resulting in abnormalities and deformities. However some breeders claim that the max factor as a single recessive makes the carrier better in quality. I personally do not think that its worth it. So, I will avoid breeding two known carriers to reduce deformed kits.

@@amarahsrabbitry1073 how do you know when a bunny has max factor genes?

@@giovana4789 The only way to know is through breeding… you get a Max kit when BOTH parents carry the recessive Max Factor gene. There is no other way to really know except through test breeding. Problem is, if one parent has the gene they can pass that recessive gene down silently to some of their offspring, even if the other parent doesn’t carry it.

@@amarahsrabbitry1073 oh okk, thank you!!!

Yes! I am so excited. If you want to see my other content, here are my names: KZfaq Channel: Amarah Parks Tiktok: @amarahmariah

I do not plan to breed Netherlands again even though they are my favorite! But I still have lots of knowledge on them, so questions can be answered. Also I may interview breeders or judges in the future who may talk about them/show them!

@@amarahsrabbitry1073 okay😔

@@rynhardtbooyens6137 It’s sad! But after 3-4 years of losing 66% of all babies by 3 months to various conditions and issues, It just broke my heart too much! Dwarf breeders have to be super tough.

@@amarahsrabbitry1073 yup I show and breed Netherland dwarfs I know that feeling😔

You have to go with what you feel is best for you! I personally don’t think anything less of dwarf breeders, but for me its just not worth all of the extra heartache and stress. Netherlands still have my heart, but I’ll likely never raise them again.

They are both true dwarves, but one is just a bit smaller and maybe typier! Sometimes the smaller typier does can be more difficult to get good litters out of. If she is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller, she may have been a runt. But she should still have the capability of feeding her babies, they are probably just smaller too!

Thanks! I really miss my fur babies. 🥺
