I just lost a litter of kits, but I kinda expected it. The mother was a first-time mama from my first litter. Her mother, my primary doe, had 11 kits her first litter and lost only one runt. This doe had a litter of 6, I think, through the night. She pulled hair and yesterday had made a nest in...

Ok, I will state before I even finish typing this, that this is a stupid newbie question. But... here goes... One bew nz/Flemish mix doe and one bew nz/Flemish buck go into a hutch together... Would the kits be all white, or would they produce kits with other colors?

I recently lost an entire litter to what, I believe, was due to the heat. I housed the doe and her new kits in a hutch that had a built-in nestbox. It worked great for her litter in the cold spring, but I think the lack of airflow and the heat in the 80's caused the litter to die. The does...

Hi- new member here. I started my little rabbitry this spring. I had a wonderful first litter, my doe was a very good mom of 11 kits. One little runt died, but the rest are healthy and hopping around. Rosie, my doe, was bred again and kindled 11 more babies, all healthy two days ago...
