[QUOTE="Robochelle, post: 342775, member: 8633"] Rabbit does have 2 uteruses... uteri? Uterus(plural). If successfully bred, don't breed again any later than 1 week, or earlier than 2 weeks. Double pregnancy is possible but definitely not desirable; second litter is born at the same time as the first, and usually dies because they are underdeveloped. The doe is under more stress as well. As long as the doe is an experienced or naturally skilled mother, she's comfortable with you, familiar with the cage, and the cage doesn't smell like other rabbits, she should have no problem with the nest being moved. I've had to move a nest the day of kindle, from the floor to a box, in a new cage, from the barn to the house, with a first time mom. I wouldn't recommend that, it was an emergency (who gives birth a week late, in freezing conditions, on a wire floor? Beanie, that's who!) But all the kits survived, and she was happy to see them safe [/QUOTE]
