Alright, I will wait on breeding then. Yes, I cannot tell you how attached I am already becoming to this little trooper! Tonight I am praising God! For the first time since he was born, Mimi has finally started showing a mother's care towards her baby! :P I finally decided to trust her with...

Hm, okay thanks! We get a lot of mallow in the garden, and there is bindweed all over our property so I wondered.

After many, many dandelion leaves and parsley... The milk finally came in late last night! (About 36 hrs after giving birth.) Since her milk came in, I have been taking her out twice a day and flipping her, and then letting the kit nurse as much as he can before she's decided she's finished...

Okay... I tried flipping Mimi again and putting the kit on her belly. He/she found at least 3-4 different teats but nothing seemed to be giving him any milk... :( It has been just over 24 hours since he/she was born; should I buy some formula and try that? Or should wait and keep attempting to...

Alright, I didn't have any yarrow tea but I did have dried/crushed raspberry leaves which I made into a tea and added to my basin of warm water. First I soaked her bottom in the warm tea/water (which seemed to help her relax) and then I took a small cloth and and gently wiped away anything...

the-deed-is-done-first-time-doe-is-bred-t13961-30.html This morning I went down to check Mimi's vent and try letting the kit feed. The kit hasn't eaten yet, and even this morning he couldn't get any milk out of her. Is her milk just not coming down? I have given lots of fresh dandelion greens...

Can either of the following weeds be fed to rabbits? Does anyone have any experience with any of these? Field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) Often confused with morning glory, the field bindweed flower is very similar. Field bindweed is a low growing, deep-rooted perennial plant that...

Hm, I'm curious too... I tend to get a lot of wasted hay falling through my floor wire as well.

Hm, okay, I guess I'll wait until tomorrow morning then since I want to make sure she's finished and rested first. Sadly, all the kits that were born dead look like they were the blue points and blue torts that I was hoping to get. Maybe I'll get those in her next litter. :) I plan on refilling...

I know, I like those shadeds too! What color is your buck?<br /><br />__________ Thu Apr 25, 2013 7:00 pm __________<br /><br />Oh wait, you already said that he was a sable point! :)

Yikes, I'm surprised that one so young would already be attempting such things! :shock:

Thanks, MSD! I'll take the little guy down to mom shortly and see how it goes. She's busy eating a bunch of fresh dandelion leaves right now... :) You don't think it would be too stressful to breed her back right after 6-7 hrs of labor? How long is the "window of opportunity" that comes right...

Oh, okay thank you! She still hasn't passed the kit... But hopefully soon! __________ Thu Apr 25, 2013 5:21 pm __________ She passed the kit! :) And one more dead kit right after it. But now I am wondering what to do with the one live kit... Should I put it in her nest so that she can feed...

She looks like a smoke pearl to me...

Is this yarrow? <br /><br />__________ Thu Apr 25, 2013 4:22 pm __________<br /><br />Well, she made a little bit of progress! :) Almost the whole back of the kit is now showing; the hips and hind legs being the part that is completely out.

Alright, I've given her the small piece of banana coated in dry parsley and a tums. She hasn't shown any interest in either, but for right now she looks like she's trying to sleep. The single, live kit is sleeping in a nest outside of the cage with a warm water bottle (wrapped in a sock) in...

She is a Holland lop. I can get parsley from the store, but I don't have any lavender...

I gave her a tums in her food dish, but she doesn't seem interested in that.. One of the two kits that she has already delivered was dead and the other is still alive and I am keeping it warm. I can't tell if there are any other kits besides the one that is stuck... But she is alert and moving...

Day 27 Almost there... :D And no worries! You will all see lots of pictures! :bunnyhop: __________ Thu Apr 25, 2013 12:26 pm __________ Day 30 She's in labor! :P She has already delivered one kit in the box and one on the wire... I was watching so I quickly put the one from the wire...

Oh, I'm so sorry, BH! :(
