Hello everybunny,
here's the deal. About a month and a half ago Rubin, my buck, got into the colony and spent sometime with Nina and Fawn. They were without babies, but I was planning on giving Fawn one more month to rest and then breed them together. But, as you see, they most likely bred and I bred both in the evening the same day, Fawn and Rubin and Nina with another buck. I went to school the next day and my mum accidentally switched them and breed Nina and Rubin and Fawn with other buck. Boy, was that a loud week in our house.
2 weeks ago, the girls kindeled (they shared the nest, is it common thing in colonies?) and had 10 total, but we lost 2 during first few days. So, I have 8 kits with two mums and Petunia, my lionhead-mix is ready to breed. I planned on breeding her with Nina, so they delivere at the same time. Should I do it now? Or, should I give Nina some more time? Could I take Nina away and leave all 8 kits for Fawn to raise or should I simply leave her in the colony while pregnant?
Nina had about 4.5 months break from breeding in between her first litter and this one. Thanks in advance.

all my other girls could easily feed 8 on their own )
