Wow....rats. Death to them all!

If my doe does not feed who if anyone has had success bottle feeding from day one? I feel I should be prepared this time in case. Last time she had no milk. This time I'm feeding nettles and raspberry leaves.

I was going to ask about feeding kits in case mama doesn't this time. Sounds like it doesn't work.

I have been thinking about the off seasons for does. I'm hoping that this time my doe feeds. Since she can now eat fresh timber greens, nettles and I now have raspberry leaves I can give her. Seems we are all struggling right now keeping our babies alive. 7 days to wait for me but I'm...

Perfect. I just planted 12 starts. Gave her a leaf, she loves them.

This is all fascinating to me. I am getting leaves today and will use them 3 days before her regular time for kindling and see what happens. Fresh or dried seems to be OK. Thanks for the info, trial and error or trial and success, either way every day is a learning day for me.

great, thank you

Hello. I have access to some raspberry leaves. Do I give those for helping produce milk? Think I've read it helps to expel a dead kit.

My doe goes 33 days. Give 'em another day and turn 'em out

Welcome. Having a builder is great and a butcher even better, I think.

You rock. My best man friend is incredibly lazy, always has been. He calls me the butcher. So ready to get some seeds in the ground. It's time. Have a great spring rabbit friend.

Most likely the man you marry will help you. I grew up on a farm, farm town, farm boys. They are fun to play with but I'd never date or marry one. I like them but I dunno. Until I was done with ponies and horses I didn't have time.

God knew what he was doing for sure.

she is a NZ/Rex. I've never weighed her but I'm guessing 6 lbs, maybe more. She has consistently had big ones that died but the others are not very small. Buck is a California. I will give her and me some time although the buck is saying let's go, of course. She will tell me if she's ready...

Great info. I need another doe.
