    Doe had eleven kits, now has six.

    My hutches are made completely of wood except for the door, which is 1/2 inch hardware cloth. There are no holes in that hutch, and the hutch I moved them into actually has chicken wire on it, which has much larger holes. I talked to a man yesterday that has raised rabbits his whole life- the...

    Doe had eleven kits, now has six.

    There is about 6 inches of hay and straw layered in the hutch she was in, and the door was secured, so I don't think a predator could have possibly gotten in. Could she have eaten one a day perhaps over the last week? I counted the day she delivered and then yesterday, which was one week after...

    Doe had eleven kits, now has six.

    Doe had eleven kits on the day of delivery. One week later she has six. None of the others are anywhere to be found, alive or dead, whole or in pieces. She is a checkered giant/NZW cross.

The litter was their mother for 9 weeks, and then given grass and grain for 8 weeks. I weighed the largest kit yesterday, and its live weight was 4 pounds...

    Doe Kindling

    Thank you all for your help! She only had three when I checked her before bed, but this morning I found six in the nest, and two dead ones outside of it. I guess she had them and then didn't move them to the nest. She didn't want to take the tums yesterday, but i crushed one and sprinkled it on...

    Doe Kindling

    Hello, I have a flemish doe who is delivering right now. She is a year old, and this is her second litter. She had nine in her first litter, but stopped feeding them after two days and they all died. She was due last thursday, but didn't start a nest until this morning. Two hours ago I found one...
