I try to get 3 fall overs. The few times that I only had 1 fall over, never resulted in litters. This time around I only got 2 on Tartar, so I'll see if that was enough.
Best of luck.
Best of luck.
I just recently culled/processed a doe that, while she could get pregnant, couldn't deliver live/healthy kits. 3 tries and one live kit - many dead ones, at least one large, stretched one each litter. She had a tumor in one horn, toward the top. I guess that was the source of her issues... I expected to find some retained and/or calcified kits, but surprisingly just the marble sized tumor. <br /><br /> __________ Fri Jan 15, 2016 5:47 pm __________ <br /><br />Zass":2p09c164 said:Oscar":2p09c164 said:I've bred her like five times and first one was a false pregnancy I have waited full term each time and nutin, this time I am waiting till the 18th, in my little "excesize pen" which is really just a raised garden with particle board around the outside, and some hay and boxes inside, but anyway, I had a fall off while my buck and doe were in there and he squealed and fell of. I so don't get this. It's getting really enjoying. But when she had the "false pregnancy" which was this year, and when I palpated her I felt grape like bumps in her tummy, is it possible that she reabsorbed her litter. I still need help.
Inability to conceive is most often related to fat buildup around their reproductive organs. They might not seem overweight to us, but rabbits really aren't meant to carry much body fat at all.
There is also a possibility that she has something else wrong with her reproductive system, and may never be able to carry a litter.
A tumor or cyst can cause problems, and friend of mine had a rabbit that was never able to conceive due to a retained fetus.

I agree - very pretty!!
they do live together in a hutch in my garden and he knows when she's tired of him because she has a little sqeally squeak that she does, and well I would sell/give away the babies and the rest we would send to freezer camp. I have this feeling that this is going to continue so I will just make a new thread on the Illnesses, Injuries, and Parisites forum and it will be called My Rex Doe, so if you can help please check it out!Preitler":2fpn6oij said:So, if you get your doe pregnant, what exactly are you planning to do with the litter?
Anyway, if you know what you'r doing I just would let them live together and have nature her way.

8 would have sufficed.
I'm expecting to wean about 10 here, as I have no foster does, and the mother is smaller than mot commercial does.
