I'm present much more often than not with my does. I'm a light sleeper and set my alarm every two hours starting at 2 AM on their expected date. :countsheep: It's just that with a new doe and a litter I need, I really dread interrupting the kindling process if I can help it. The last thing I...

Thanks everyone. These were definitely full term kits. And they didn't have that washed out appearance I've seen in DOAs. MaggieJ, she couldn't see me at all from where I was watching and peeking in on her. I'm pretty sure she had no clue I was there. I've been thinking about this all day...

Hello from the Midwest. It's been a really long time since I've posted. First time mama (angora) just had a litter of 12 kits. I was nearby and saw her make a great nest and get into the box. I felt she was taking a bit more time than average as I peeked in on her numerous times. Finally...

My hutches are tall (30 inches). I have a jump shelf for exercise. I have one emergency hutch (in case I have a rabbit that needs to be separated). That hutch is 18 inches tall. I have seen over and over again that rabbits are happier and grow faster in taller hutches. If you can go with...

She is stunning! :P

Are you thinking Cream (I guess that's what we angora people call it...)? Cream is A_ B_ C_ dd ee. My cleanest Creams are Chocolate based. Assuming that's still called Cream (and I think so), mine are A_ bb C_ dd ee. One of my favorite colors! :)

SuburbanHomesteader, that was a wonderful post. It really helps to see how others are dealing with security and your wordiness was great. ;) I feel like locals are the ones who often want to come out and see our rabbits and I know their feelings are hurt when I try to enforce biosecurity. I...

Feel underneath of him while he's upright.... Hold his rump up while you look under... anything but upside down.

Not eating much around her due date can be normal. It can be normal to not feel them moving around. Try not to worry too much. When it has been 31 days past May 10th, perhaps you can try a few techniques that will promote labor. Herbs, grooming her tummy...

Yes! That's a squirrel (or exactly what my squirrel looked like as a kit). You wanted one, right?!

Thanks Dood! It's too fun to play with a mystery! I find it interesting that neither the buck, nor doe (or her relations) ever had this before. I guess that means that the doe and buck both needed some hidden thing to produce half a litter of kits marked like this. So, it must be recessive...

Maybe this sounds too simple but.... When I'm holding a buck upside down, sometimes the testes just don't show. When I look at different times of the day, while they are in a different position, then I can really tell if they are descended.

Absolutely stunning rabbits!

Oh my GOODNESS, you've been through quite an ordeal! I'm so glad you are recovering, but WOW! That does look like it'll take some time and care! Best of luck and prayers for your speedy recovery!

We've experienced something similar. Going into the barn at night with a headlight is forbidden because the abrupt shadows and light cause the rabbits to freak out. We have lost nestlings to a mom jumping in out of fear. Also, the kits themselves can run around frantically and I wouldn't...

I can get a picture if you need it... I have some angora rabbits that popped up with a small white stripe on the top of the head of half the litter. The sire is a REW and the the dam is a Lilac. Both parent's lines originate from the same breeder. This is the dam's first litter (I have both...

Those are beautiful!

I'm so happy for you! You DO have a wonderful husband!

Yeah! :cheer2:

Happy Birthday! :hbd:
