We have our bunnies in cages under a covered roof so they haven't been rained on. They do look very solid and sturdy as well as waterproof though. The website says they are rust resistant. The only think I don't like about them is that our bunnies can't really sit on top of them...
Thanks!
They are a week old now. Most of them are chunky monkeys. Just a few are smaller than the rest. I make sure the mamas nurse those in the morning.
Such sweet moms and babies!
(we still have freezing temps at night but the mamas pulled plenty of fur and keeping those babies warm)
I'll...
They both kindled on day 31. Fur pulling started approximately 1 hour before each gave birth. My girls like to prep early with the hay and prep at the last minute with the fur!
UPDATE!
Both of my first time does kindled this morning 31 days after breeding. They both had 8 kits each. One of the does gave birth to 2 on the wire and I put them back in the nest with the others. One kit was inside the same nest box but not with the others. It didn't make it. 😢
All the...
I haven't seen any fur in the cage nor any fur pulling yet. The nesting activity has subsided and both does are back to just chillin' out in their cages. When they were haystashing, they didn't want anything to do with me. One doe even charged my hand with her front paws with a mouth full of...
Today her sister is doing the same behavior!
Haystashing!
And the one that built her nest yesterday is relaxing... like stretched out completely relaxed. She completely filled her hidy box with hay and straw!
I bred my two silver fox does (sisters) on March 7th. It was their first breeding. They are in hanging cages next to each other. Today I noticed that one of the does is nest building. She's taking the straw and hay and putting it in her hidy house. I don't have a nesting box in their cages yet...
I'm in Idaho County not too far from Grangeville. Silver Fox is my only breed. I really like their sweet dispositions. I'm new at this (almost a year) so don't have experience with any other breeds. I'd be willing to travel 3-5 hours for the right SF doe.
Hi Coleen and thank you for the kind welcome message. I have 3 SF bucks and 2 SF does. I was supposed to have a trio (1 buck and 2 does) but it didn't work out that way (breeder sexing mistake...ugh...and now we are all attached to the boys). At any rate, looking to get another SF...
