Four fat and sassy kits in a very clean nest. We left the buck in with her for 30 hours when we bred her. Sort of disappointed at just four. :|

Thank you! That is very reassuring. Going to check now! :D

We finally had our first litter of kits this morning. My question is...how safe is it to poke around the nest and count/check the kits? Does doing that ever upset the doe (especially a first-time mama) to the point of harming the kits? Not worried about myself. She has always been a calm doe...

Thanks so much. Here we go.... Good grief. I wasn't this nervous when we were expecting our own children!

In June I acquired my first breeding trio, who were then 10 weeks old. They are now old enough to breed, but my intention was to wait until March to begin. Now I'm really wondering if I couldn't try now for a couple of litters. I live in the Midwest. Do you think I could get by trying right...

Thanks so much. I feel calmer now about feeding. I purchased my feed from TSC, but unfortunately I poured it into my feed can and tossed the bag, so I can't remember what the brand was. I will definitely get advice before my next feed purchase. This forum is a blessing to me. I participated...

I'd LOVE to see a video of your processing. I'd buy a DVD if you ever make one. I'm a newbie who will be processing for the first time next spring, if not sooner. Congratulations - wishing you all good things!

Thanks for the warm welcome(s)! Grumpy, the next time we are going to pass by St. Joe, I'll PM you and see if we can set a time to visit you. I'd love to see a pro's setup! I'll be adding two NZ does and one NZ buck in a few weeks, and will probably be adding a Cali or two after I have a bit...

Well...we would have saved ourselves a lot of angst if I had joined RabbitTalk sooner! We have already located a breeder; just a few hours after asking for advice. This forum ROCKS!! :D

THANK YOU EVERYONE!! Philliney, thank you so much for that info. I feel some hope now! BTW, meat is our goal, although we do have two rescued (Humane Society) bucks that our grandkids keep here as pets. We've had them since February. They are now around 20 weeks old. I have no idea what...

I live in Eastern NE and we are building our first meat rabbitry. Only problem is...I cannot for the life of me find rabbits! No way can I afford to have any shipped. I've checked Craig's List for months and Googled everything I can think of. Every breeder within 4 hours of us for whom...
