I think I may have pulled an irresponsible breeders whoopsie. I have several new animals and live in TX where the temps have been extremely high, so I opted to let everyone play together a lot in an effort to have some kits eventually (ASAP) this fall. I have been keeping an eye on things, and I THINK I saw my 6 month old Hollands belly moving tonight. She was flopped over with her belly resting on the floor, and was panting, but I distinctly saw other movement. Her teats also seem a little enlarged, not much. She is currently housed with another young Doe, and I was going to keep her separate from the Bucks for at least 30 days and try to sell her. I am not good at palpating at all, and did not keep as good of records about each time they were together as I should (no judgement please). I am out of cage space which is why I was going to try and sell her. So any tips on my observations? Consider her pregnant or not? I also have an old Buck who I am almost positive is heat sterile and the new buck who has repeatedly hit the wrong spot when breeding, leaving wet spots all over the place (expect where he needs to put it). So I really felt the odds were against a littler right now, but not so sure anymore. Secondly, I have plenty of means to feed are care for the litter, but any ideas on a quick way to create a cage? Maybe I could move her littermate to a large Rubbermaid tub or something? Just until we see whats going on? I am sure I am not the first person to have these issues, but I will learn from my mistakes and error on the side of caution next time (of course pending this outcome:) I have 3 other mommas who may also be pregnant, and I am staring to worry about being overly "blessed"..... <br /><br /> -- Thu Oct 01, 2015 6:22 am -- <br /><br /> I also read something about worms looking like babies moving inside? Anyone experienced that and what do you use to worm your bunnies?
 
I would error on the side of caution and consider her bred.

I also read something about worms looking like babies moving inside? Anyone experienced that and what do you use to worm your bunnies?

Those would have to be some huge worms...

On a completely random note...The spell check in my browser is flagging "looking" as spelled wrong and their suggestion is "lookin"
 
I kind of though that too. Today is her due date (I did keep some breeding records) and to me it looked like babies stretching..... I won't have long to wait, thankfully:). That's funny! Lookin is now a word...
