I have 3 Lionhead that I breed regularly and they all kindle on day 31. When I first started breeding them they were in a solid bottom cages and I didn't worry about a nestbox or note what day they kindled. They are all in wire bottom cages now and I put a nestbox in on day 29 and for the most part it is smooth sailing. I have 2 other does that are due and I'm debating when to put the nestbox in. Day 29 will be tomorrow for one of the does.

Are new mothers pretty regular in your experience? I'm debating on putting the nestbox in today.

Also the 2nd doe is due in 13 days. She is in a smaller cage. I can move her into a large cage but it would be in another part of the house with another group of rabbits. Is there a risk to moving her?
 
Best wishes. The only doe I ever had that kindled on day 31 consistently is the holland. Every body else kindles before or after day 31, and with no real pattern.
