8 week weights
2 litters at 8 weeks.
Weights are shown. Those with * by them are pictured.
Last 3 photos are of the Harlequin magpie buck at 4 lb 2 oz.
First 8 photos are possible keeper magpie does.
The harlequin buck has very cute checkerboard on his back.
Note Collette’s x Willys are a bit on the smaller side, especially when you consider the litter is 1/3 smaller than Fiona’s.
There’s an Ermine doe of Fiona’s that’s very nice, but I think she’s the 3 lb 7 oz doe. Not pictured.
I only have two over 4 lbs at 8 weeks. Are your kits larger guys? I’m feeding free pellets (18% Best in Show- Kalmbach), occasionally mixed grass hay and daily fresh foraged. Each rabbit gets 2-3 large leaves of greens (comfrey, sunchoke, clover, various leaves, collard or mustard greens, broccoli, bok choy etc) And about 1/8 cup of fruit or veggies (carrot, celery, cabbage, apple, pineapple, pepper, cauliflower, beets, banana etc) and a mix of sunflower seed, oats and pumpkin seeds at about 1 T once a week.
Are they underfed? Eating the wrong food? Or do I need to select for larger breeding stock?
