I am not off to a good start with breeding rabbits. :?
The only baby of John and Jill's who survived is the 3rd baby that was never sick. He is doing very well and 7 weeks old now.
After Jill died her hutch was vacant and so I put Joe in there by himself. He completely stopped eating on the first day and died on the second night. I'm having terrible bad luck over here. I have no idea what happened to him. I'm thinking maybe because the hutch is painted and he chewed on it ? I just don't know.
Splash had 3 kits. They were doing great up until the second day. I brought the nest box in the house and kept it on the kitchen counter. When I took the dog for a walk, evidently one of the neighbors cats came in threw the dog door and ate all 3 of them. Blood in 3 different spots on the counter. When I walked in the door with the dog - my dog chased the cat with a 1/2 eaten baby bunny hanging from it's mouth. The dog chased the cat under my china closet and I had to listen to that damn cat chew the rest of the baby bunny. I felt like killing that cat right where it was hiding.
I called the neighbor over to get her cat out of my house and she did. She said she was sorry but she didn't believe her cat ate my bunnies. GRRR :evil:
Just wanted to let ya'll know.
CupCake is due any day now, she already made her nest. I hope I have a turning point to better days here shortly.
I named John and Jill's surviving bunny Jade. Here is a picture.
