Yes, we had a row of boxes on the kitchen table each night. Each had a small towel over it to keep them from popping out. We started doing it because of cold nights when we noticed how the litters were friendlier when we did it.

When we brought them to the does in the morning they would be waiting to jump in and unload the milk they had.

Have a good day!

wow, this is good--I was always told that you could NOT touch rabbits for the first few days/week, or the mother would eat them...not true, huh? Kinda like dandelions will kill them, and they should never be fed any thing but pellets...

There are so many myths about raising rabbits. Stick around, Eco2pia, and you'll see them exploded one by one. :D

Here's a link to Betty Chu's site on her nest box management. http://bettychuenglishangora.com/nestbox/index.html

She's one of the top English Angora breeders in the country and a very nice lady. I had the pleasure of meeting her last summer and have exchanged a number of emails with her.
