*fingers crossed for healthy kits soon*

I'd send him to the freezer camp but he's the last of his line that I have (gave his mother back to the original owner) and want to keep her lines as she was a great rabbit. Hope he stops this or I'll send him to the freezer camp after he produces a litter.

Au contraire, Comet. They just haven't figured that trick out yet. One of my does shakes the feeder by either grabbing the bottom lip where the opening to the feed hopper is, or if she is really ticked off she stands and grabs the top through the cage wire.
My rabbits are all on free feed now (yes, even bucks and dry does), so she no longer does it since she has food all of the time.

The waste kills me - and the girls are still doing it! Two nights ago we gave them a little mountain of hay - they ate probably 70% of it and the rest got put down in the nest box, just laying flat, no nests built and they still dug out more pellets. Do you have any pictures of your system? I'm most even sure where to start, but it seems that I need to come up with something.
