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.

This is branching off here a little but should I wait 2 weeks or more to try again with her? Are spring nettles as good as fully matured nettles for her? Also I should mention that her babies are big, crazy big like 5 inches long sometimes.

Any other single gals out there ever think to yourselves: Wish I had a husband to cull my rabbits. Of course, I would do the rest but sure would be sweet to have someone else do the bop and bleed. But then you have to feed him so??? LOL:unsure:;)

I'm impressed! Good job.

Would you suggest feeding nettle during her whole pregnancy to help her milk come in or just before kindle? I agree about the house set up. I should have put her in the basement. From what I have read here it seems alot of folks have trouble getting milk to come in or sometimes not enough...

I

I will do it. Thanks.

it was just Lulu that whimpered when she went behind the nesting box where she had some of her kits and they weren't there anymore. I heard her back there and it was a soft cry/whimper. I can't really describe it but I've heard her do it before. One time she poked her eye in the grass outside...

no Lulu seems to be very emotional. It's a whimper. She isn't sick, eating like a horse. Threw a bunch of binkies when I let her out today. So, now all kits are dead. It has been blowing 35 mph here for a week and so the tarps had to be left on for days at a time. I dunno, I will try one...

this is day 3 and i can't get her to feed the remaining 3. is it possible her milk never came in? if she doesn't feed the last 3 now they are all goners. she licks them and she went to the back of the hay and cried earlier. when she had the 6 2 were big and born dead. I put the 4 in the...

she had 2 more later on and 2 today. right now i have 4 live. hope she feeds them tonite. the dead ones were very big, crazy wabbits

what do u do with your ground bones? garden?

my doe just had 3 today, it was crazy windy so i tied down tarps. then it warmed up. i had to move the kits to their nesting box. i had the cage stuffed with hay. nights here will be cold for a while.

Buck is Cali, Doe is Rex/NZ. Not sure why they died, seems like a long time ago now. I'm hoping for a female to keep in this litter, they have good babies.

No it was third I think last summer. They were big, 4 I think, all died. I expect her number to be low this time but I think she will do fine. Box looks pretty warm.
