1st Q & A

Start up of Q & A sessions!

 Hello everyone! lately I've been answering some questions from people inquiring about getting a bunny. So I thought the Q & A (questions and answers) I give would add a little more to my blog and may answer some of your questions. Feel free to e-mail me questions @ HollandLopsofLoveRabbitry@outlook.com I'll get to answering as soon as possible (it may take a week for me to post about the topic you inquire about)!

Q & A  

    Q:     What things do you need to have to own a bunny?

    A:     The essential items to have a bunny are: Rabbit hutch with enough room for bunny to hop 2-5 times, an area for the bunny to stretch it’s legs (or just hold your bunny often). This can be an enclosed area out side or in your house. Food dish and water dish or bottle. Litter box (not a literal cat litter box but just something for the bunny to do it’s business in) which typically has some pine shavings. And last but not least, something for the bunny to chew on such as a non-poisonous stick to chew on.

    Q:     Why do you have to give something to your bunnies to chew on, as you said "a non-poisonous stick to chew on" in the earlier statement?  

    A:     Bunnies teeth are always growing so you have to give them something that isn’t only their food to chew on but it cant be toxic. By getting a rabbit chew block or anything like that from the store is good enough, though for getting a stick it would have to NOT be Ponderosa, Oak, or Cedar. If your not familiar with the trees that are toxic (there are more) than I would advise not to get a stick, they do like the sticks better but I wouldn't chance it because it could be something that isn’t what you thought it was and turns out to be toxic to your bunny.

    Q:     What is the name of the food brand that you feed the Bunnies?

    A:     I get my rabbit pellets from Haw's Farms in Anderson, Ca which are made by Artois Farms, I also sometimes get them from Walmart. They have both worked well for my bunnies needs but I also give them some hay of which I also get from Haw's farms. The types of hey I'll give them is either the meadow grass or some alfalfa.

The B_ gene set.

Gene set B_  The B_ gene set controls weather the base color is brown or black. The Black gene.  The black gene (B_). The black gene means black is the base color of the bunny's fur coat, that means that any color that is black changed black like blue (looks dark grey colored) has the base black colored gene. Variations of this gene: B_ & Bb. The Brown gene.   The brown gene (bb). The brown gene means chocolate is the base color of the bunny's fur coat, that means that any color that is chocolate or lighter or somewhat changed brown colored such as orange has the base chocolate (brown) colored gene. The only variation of this gene to show is bb. Here's some punnet squares for the variations these genes could have as out comes.  Here is if parent 1 with BB genes had offspring with parent 2 who had bb genes, all offspring would be Bb (black colored and carry the recessive b gene).   Here is if parent 1 with Bb genes had offspring with parent 2 who had Bb ...

The C_ gene set.

-
Gene set C_ The C_ gene set is one of the most complex gene sets of the five, it's called the color gene and basically controls how much pigment your bunny has in its fur.  Note: As in other posts I'll order the genes from the most dominant genes to the most recessive genes.  The full color gene (C_). This gene is pretty simple (it is the name) it's just the full color pigment in your rabbit's fur.  Variations of this gene includes: C cchd, Ccchl, Cch, & Cc. The Chinchilla dark gene ( cchd).  This gene shares dominance with the chinchilla light gene (cchl) or co-dominance. This gene shows the Agouti pattern but lightens any yellow or off white to white as well as doesn't let all the color pigment but most show, it also some times makes rabbits with blue eyes.  Variations of this gene includes: cchd, cchdcchl, cchdch, & cchdcc. The C hinchilla light gene (cchl).  This gene will not let the Agouti gene show and will let most of the darker pigment ...
