Well, I got lucky. The doe that had a single falloff and had nine last time, had 8 this time with a single falloff. The other doe that had a single falloff last time and had 5 had 3 this time. So, out of 4 single falloffs for 2 does, all 4 were successful.

Ta da. Yay me. Lol you don't know what an accomplishment that is for this old dinosaur.

Hi. Hi KelleyBee. I finally got the pedigree papers from the lady. I'm just trying to figure out how to send the pics of them now. Lol

Cool. Yeah, it's a really pretty area. I moved hear 7 years ago. I spent most of my life living a little North of Conneaut Lake, in Crawford County. Lost my wife and my kids are grown, so I moved down here in to the woods. My house was too big for just me, so I moved to this little cabin in the...

Yeah, I'm waiting it out. Both females had one falloff. Last pregnancy, one doe has 3 falloffs and had 5 kits, the other had one falloff and had 9 kits. All three are pretty new to the game. One productive pregnancy for each of the Silver Fox does and first couple times for the buck. My New...

Yeah, on their last pregnancy, one had a single falloff and had 9. The other one had three falloffs and had 5 kits. Interesting to know about the second falloff. lol I like that. "The third is just for luck." 😉

Hi Burelka! Not sure if I already replied, but am still getting used to the new forum. Thanks for your input. I went with the one falloff. I too like to witness the event and my other rabbits have also gone at it like rabbits. lol But these newbie SF moms are a bit shy and have both gotten...

I've secured the cages better and got them up higher also. So far, so good. The remaining kits are doing well. Thanks for asking and thanks for your input.

All doing good , Thanks. I've secured their cages better and haven't had any more problems. Just bummed so many were lost in the first place..

N.W. Pa. Kenerdell It's a little village along the Allegheny River, although I live back in the woods up on a hill. I love it. It's a mile to my maibox. lol

I have a New Zealand buck, A NZ doe and a California doe. They are all getting older. I recently bought a Silver Fox breeding trio. All SF are first time breeders. The kits I lost were all SF. I'm actually glad the problem was a predator vs. the moms eating them, because for 1st timers, they...

I hate having just one falloff. If I had 1 falloff and none the next day, is it okay to attempt a 2nd or 3rd falloff the third or 4th day? Or do I need to just count the first one as a take and plan accordingly?

All great advice. Leaving to get materials now. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. The largest openings are 1" x 2". The top and sides. I will be trying my best to remedy the problem.
