We bought a Creme d'Argent, 5 month old doe on March 2. She looked nice and healthy when we got her. We weighed her the next day and she weighed 6# 7oz. We thought she looked like she was gaining weight so on 3/21 we weighed her and she was 7#6oz. She was supposed to be an open doe. We didn't feel any babies. Now she looks really plump. We put in a nest box for her just in case. If she doesn't have anything, we will breed her this weekend.(WE DIDN'T BREED HER YET)
Just wondering if anyone else has had this? She is now 6 months old and we have had her 31 days. We have bought several rabbits from the same guy and are very happy with them all. Do the does just gain weight at about this age in preparation for breeding?<br /><br />__________ Wed Apr 03, 2013 7:07 pm __________<br /><br />Sorry, reread the post from earlier and had the wrong weights.
No worries anyway. We bred her tonight. NEVER MIND!!
