Over cooked?! From stress? And survival of does or kits? I’ll let them out to lay in the yard to save my Maple and Nutmeg! They have had birthed in nest boxes before but I know they prefer in their burrows.

Thank you!

In a large windstorm 34 days ago, the door to my large hutch with 4 does blew open. I rotate roaming time, so the buck was out that day. When I came home from from work, they were all together and I assumed breeding had taken place. Now at 34 days and little work in the nest boxes I’m not so...

Hello Rabbit Talk! This is my first time joining any kind of online group and I am finding it very helpful. So, I would like to introduce myself to become a better member. I am 36 in Eureka, Ca. Almost 10 years ago we owned a gardening companion for the forest garden my partner has developed in...

While fixing the roof on my large corral for two sister bunnies, I placed a tarp on top for protection. Well, it was one windy day and the tarp fell in, and Maple got out. She encountered our free roaming buck... her Dad. When I found them, they were snuggling. So, I assume they had plenty of...

I have a pregnant doe who has previously kindled in a burrow in the yard. (This was when I thought her best friend was a girl...) Since then she has had other babies inside the large hutch I built for her, with a separate, enclosed space for her littles. Well, now she is pregnant again and began...
