Netherland dwarf breeders should knowDwarves are likely at least four specific genetic characteristics and/or defects unknown to more than other breeds. Defects present in some dwarf lines than they do in others.
These same flaws also tend to appear in small breeds developed using Netherlands dwarf rabbit to acquire the dwarfism gene.
Here are the known defects and what may be their dwarf rabbit care options.
Peanuts. Sooner or later, every dwarf breeder is
peanuts in the nest box - kits extremely small that have inherited a set of two genes dwarfed instead of only one. Double dwarfism is always fatal. See
rabbits dwarves to learn more.
When you see a peanut, it turns out that both parents are true dwarfs, that have 1 copy of the dwarf gene and 1 copy of the gene's normal size.
Some breeders allow the peanuts to die on their own; Some remove it the box and euthanasia, as death is inevitable. If the nest has only a few kits, you can help life kits keep their heat to leave the peanut with his litter brothers until it dies. Check the nest often, by what does not stay longer than needed and start decomposition and drawing flies.

Max Factor. It's a recessive defect in name "Max", a famous (or infamous) dollar of Netherland dwarf known to Mr kits with this defect. Max Factor babies are born with hind legs bent and bent and his eyes are open at birth, as if the non-functional eyelids. They may also have other defects of varying severity.
Max factors often die within days, however, some live. If they live, their eyes remain unprotected and they may cause serious damage in the nest box. They have problems with mobility because of their deformities. Recommended euthanasia. If it allowed him to live, the kits typically struggle to life with physical defects and weak immune system.
Baby hippos. It's a genetic defect in dwarf rabbits believed that anyone linked to the dwarf gene, or possibly another excessive expression of dwarfism. Hippo kits are usually born dead. They are small, short and stubby, although very wide for its length. They have only a piece of a tail.

Faders. It is a defect appears to be associated with the dwarf gene or perhaps a digestive syndrome like enterotoxemia. Faders seem to be that it does not conform to solid food. On the other hand, do not eat or drink; slouch in a corner and grind their teeth. Death comes quickly. Home of fading, also known as loss, is about 4 weeks but could also be up to 6-12 weeks. Some breeders of dwarf that there is at least one component of inheritance associated with faders.
"Big Ugly" is the affectionate for false dwarfs name. These are the dwarf offspring that inherit two copies of genes from normal size. See rabbits dwarves dwarf false information.
A way to avoid the lethal peanut production is there, use 'big uglies' (false dwarfs) in its breeding program. Not have any gene dwarf transmit to their descendants.
An false dwarf 'big ugly buck,' or BUB, despite excellent bloodlines, cannot compete on the show table. They are larger than 2 1/2 pounds. The ears may also be too long, and its proportions are not correct. BUBs end usually very dear like rabbits for pets.
A false dwarf 'big ugly Perez,' or BUD, if she is very promising, can be an asset to your breeding programme. It cannot be demonstrated, but their slightly larger size can allow carry and deliver a larger litter. She can breastfeed well. And, it will a gene normal size all his children, which when combined with a single-gene dwarf of money true dwarf, can create dwarf rabbits real show-stopping.
Don't be afraid to include the dwarf false exceptional, not too large in its program of breeding of dwarf rabbit Netherland.
