NY Rabbits
Active member
New member and this is my first post. I hope to be a regular participant. I am just getting into rabbits for meat.
I have two Crème D'Argent does that weigh in between 8 and 9 pounds. My buck is an Altex, I think mixed with NZ, weighing in at 10-11 pounds. My first litter with this pairing was just born dead at 34 days and the kits seem rather large, 4-5 inches long. They were also born grey and I don't know if this is normal for this breed. Just wondering if this buck might be too big to breed to these does or if the 34 days caused them to be oversized. The second doe is due in three days so I am hoping for a better outcome. Any help will be appreciated.
