Thank you so much!  That is helpful to know!  It maybe that, but also my breeder said that it could be that I gave all my rabbits prunings from my apple trees yesterday!  She said that when she gives her rabbits tree cuttings their urine tends to darken and can look like blood with certain trees.  I never noticed it before as I have given them prunings before as they were in all wire floor tractors.  Both girls seem comfortable, all stretched out for their usual afternoon naps so not at all in pain and nothing unusual since.  So I am thinking my breeder friend is correct, it was just the tree cuttings.  Which makes sense as they both had the same thing at the same time!  Funny it did not happen to the buck, but he tends to pee on the wire at the back corner and misses the white tray!  Just to be sure I am going to check with hydrogen peroxide to see if it was actually blood... but I am thinking the tree cutting thing makes the most sense.  So here is hoping I have kits next Wednesday and Friday!  She said their line tends to nest only a day or 2 before they kindle so that I should not be worried they are not fur pulling or moustaching yet.  She said very, very rarely a doe will not make a nest and that this line of rabbits tends to be exceptional mothers.  Their full sister had a first litter of a healthy 7 kits yesterday so here is hoping!
