Any Day Now! :D

It's day 28. Lovey's pulling a little bit of fur, nesting a lot, and VERY protective of the nestbox. Not to an aggressive extent, but if I go in there she glares at me, grunts, runs, and when I leave she goes in there and straightens it all out. She's begun to take the hay I give her to eat to the nestbox. I can't wait! This is her first little and I hope she does well and is an early kindler.

I'll be checking the nestbox at dark every night because I know they have 'em in the early morning or at night.

Wish her (and me) luck!

A control tip, sometimes a doe in that state can be calmed by placing or keeping a hand on her head while you fuss about the cage.

Is she eating well again?

 

[The_Dutchess]

Yeah she's doing better. Sometimes she won't eat much and then seem like she could eat a horse at night. So she gets hungry at night

 

[Silver Willow]

Yay! Hope it all goes well One of our two current does is on day 14- so I still have about two weeks to wait I don't know how I'm gonna survive!

 

[The_Dutchess]

Lovey's breeder predicts 7 kits on Sunday morning. Any other predictions?

 

[Silver Willow]

6-8 kits on day 31 is mine

We'll see who's right soon!

I also could use a little help with pedigree names. Dam is Lucky in Love, sire is Soft Fall. I would like something similar to their names, but since Lovey des NOT like to be held and has given me a scar, (she does have some good days and never bites) I call her my Psycho doe. But her call name is Lovey. So I was thinking I might name one of her doe babies (hopefully she has one) something Psycho. And hope that like momma she does the personality-does-not-fit-name thing and be sweet. Lovey isn't THAT bad, but she is a LOT of rabbit to handle. You have to time it right if you want to handle her without getting scratched a ton. Anyway, for the does, I'd like a name similar to Mama Lovey's

For the bucks, I'd like a soft sounding name, similar to Soft Fall. (My 7.8 lbs baby's name fits him (SOFT Fall) since he melts into my arms when I hold him)
