It might have been more useful if you weigh the rabbits and averaged their weights. Might the californians be heavier?

please take good care of them

Very helpfull your experiment. I enjoy watching it. I just got some Californian Rabbits and I had some Hollanc Loops. Very very different, from the fur to the size and weight.

Beautiful babies!! I also would have thought there would be more difference, I'm curious now and it would be cool to see a follow up at the 12 week point and compare weights!

Ya I agree at some point the californinan babies will get bigger. I need to redo this experiment with three different Rex does and three different californinan does. While I am at it I need to include three new Zeland Doe’s as well.

I live how gently u hold the babys i see other you tubers and they handle them quite bad they hold them tight and they nearly let them fall out of their hand when their putting them back

Those are gorgeous! My friend has a mix; Californian/Rex. Do you know how big it's likely to get when fully grown? It's a male.

they're so cute I have rex babies they will be 6 days tomorrow

I'm getting a pair of California buns tomorrow. Gotta build a hutch. Both sets of your litters were so adorable 😍🥰

Absolutely beautiful litters! Beautiful set up, nice animals..I think you will enjoy both of your litters

You're awesome! Thank you

Wooow Beautiful ❤️ Rex, I like that do you have some one babies rex

At 10 days old my holland lop (tiny breed) and Silver fox (huge breed) babies are the same size.... you gotta wait until they're older to tell which breeds fill out faster.

I have one at home she is sweet i love rexrabit

Was they bred to the same buck

My rabbit , has had 6 kits 5 days ok , I keep checking on them I’m so afraid I’ll find some that have died , so far so good 🤞🤞mammy rabbit is doing a great job , but I’m afraid to take them out of the nest to check to make sure they are all getting fed , if I find some are not , and I feed them , will mammy rabbit reject them , they are family pets , have another rabbit she had 5 kits , and they all died by day 3 , so I’m overly cautious now .

I mixed pure rex with Californian . Wondering what the growth rate will be

Beautiful 🐇

You will see a major difference as they approach butcher age. The californias will put on a lot of weight and muscle and the rex will slow way down. I have both but my californias are excellent meat stock so lines do matter. The rex are beautiful rabbits but we are closing ours out as I do not have the patience to wait on their growth. We raise rabbits basically for meat only.

I have a great line of rec that will go up against any meat Californian etc....

Weigh them

Well check them at 12 week

You might have a really good quality rex that can compete with cali’s.

Where are you getting this information? People do this all the time. Mother rabbits raise other rabbits babies all the time.

​@@janawild4582 Do they is that possible??? I heard different smells cause the mother to kill all the babies

You've made a mistake... you should never be putting the babies from one mother into another mother's nest, it will smell like the other babies and she could reject her own babies and kill them all. They are beautiful, but from a long experience, NEVER PUT BABIES TOGETHER, THE MOM KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE and could kill the babies of the other mom or both sets if she can't pick up her own baby's scents depending on how much exposure. You had me until you put them together in the same nesting box. On the difference, the difference is after they get on maintenance and meat rations, the Californian will grow faster and yield more meat in the same time than the rex, however the rex value outweighs the Californian in the pelt values if you sell the pelts. You get more meat with the Californian, but less value or no value in the pelt where with the rex, the meat is less but the pelt is more. If someone were to do a full study and factor in feed and the rest like 4H and FFA projects do, they would realize the difference. Rex and Californian do come pretty close to each other in overall value due to the pelt on the Rex, but only if you can find a market for them or do them yourself. If for meat alone, the Californian will always outweight the Rex and most of the time produces more bunnies.

I can agree with much of what you said here but one thing I strongly disagree with is the concept that putting babies from one mother into another Doe’s nest is wrong. If you have “long experience”my guess is that you have been acting upon this idea that putting babies from one mom into another mom’s nest is harmful, and have not tried it much. (Maybe one time with bad out come, then never again) With over ten years of experience I have fostered many of babies from one nest to another for a verity of reason and have found mother accept without hesitation a kit give to them from another rabbit.

Meh. I disagree. While I know it CAN happen, I've fostered many babies in with another litter and the mother took to them instantly. In rabbit colonies it's not uncommon for mothers to kindle all in the same hole and take turns nursing the babies.

Something about this research that stinks. You killing bunnies to stuff in your gut? Vile and discusting.
