Really hopeful to read this post! I have a mini lop doe that is currently on day 36, so was starting to worry that she had not taken, she has built a nest and was hair pulling in day 34. I have felt her under belly this morning and nipples enlarged. She is nut in any kind of distress and acting...

Thanks, the 2 survivors are doing well. They are just starting to open their eyes. The runt is looking less like a runt now 😂

Thanks I will try that tomorrow if mum lets me ❤️

Would you try and either hold the mum down to try and feed or give some klm milk to supplement? The mum doesn’t like being handled to much so don’t want to cause her any distress…. Thanks so much for your input…. I just want the best for them …. It’s like having human babies this is 😆

Hey, Kits were born at 6pm Monday uk time. Photo was of last night and video this morning. what’s peoples thoughts of wether they are being fed or not? My main concern is the runt, the other looks like it’s gaining quite well. bith are silent when your bed but very active especially the...

Oh and thanks for the response ❤️

The ones that had passed were warm and floppy, luckily I was there when she kindled and was keeping a close eye from a distance so literally she came out of the box in 30 min and I intervened to remove lifeless kits. I did notice in the day that they wire kicking in mum a lot less than the...

Reassuring to know, maybe it will be worth trying again when she has fully recovered. just hope the 2 from last night survive.

Yes it’s her first time. Her mothering instincts have been so good to, she was haystashing on day 12 and then again on day 26 with nest building, digging hair pulling. They looked a good size but we’re warm and floppy. I’m thinking that maybe 1 got stuck or something like that. Really...

So she had 5 kits this evening at 6pm, she had 4 in the box and 1 outside the box afterwards. 2 in the box were stillborn and 1 outside the box was too. Out of tge 2 that survived 1 is half the size of the other but very active compared to the bigger one. I did notice today the kits were not as...

Brilliant thanks so much for the info, I can’t get hold of dads breeding parents to find out about his parents, but on asking about mables that’s who she said was her parents 🤷‍♀️. Looks like I’m In for a treat with the kits then! super excited 😆 let’s hope she has more than 1 with it being...

I moved the nest yesterday into the box after a good clean out. she seems to have left it where it is for now so fingers crossed it’s a good sign and she has accepted it. She seems to have had good motherly instincts so far so hope that’s a good sign for her being a mother. Thanks so much for...

Ahhh ok that’s good to know….. thanks for the Info 😊

Thanks for the reply, yes I knew I would end up with mini lops as that’s what both parents are, I just find all the genetics so mind boggling, ether way what ever the colour I’m so so excited! And if I get the colours you think I’ll be over the moon, dad has blue eyes but am I right that will...

Funny enough I finished work this morning (day 26) and she’s at it again in the same place as before so I put her nest box in with some newspaper straw and hay and she frantically took it all out and used the contents to further build the nest I came back to. She obviously has chose that as her...

That’s the parents of the sable magpie but nit sure about the opal at the min

Thanks for your reply, yeah I have let her do her thing but she only did it for a day and I took it all out as it was In Her litter box, she has stopped going to the toilet in that area so I have relocated her litter box and plan on putting the nesting box in there, as it’s in a dark space as...

Really struggling to understand genetics of bunnies and wondering what her kits will come out like 😊 I’m getting impatient so thought I would ask the experts I’m imagining g the possibilities are endless!!

Hey! Love the forum lots of great tips! Hopefully have a pregnant Doe and found this site looking for advice 😊

Hi, few questions…. I have mated my rabbits 12 days ago, I have finished work this morning to be greeted by my doe with a big stash of hay in her mouth. It is the first time she has been mated. On mating the buck had 3 fall offs in the morning and 1 9 hours later. I removed my doe as she looked...
