My wife and I have been de-boning and canning rabbit all day. I have to admit we froze the back straps this time and are going to make jerky out of the flanks. We did loose two of our breeding does recently. One while giving birth to 19 tiny still born kits and one moved her nest box in front of...

Sounds like you are getting decent litter sizes. Don't get to upset if they loose 1 or 2. Hopefully they will keep them all but it does happen. Sometimes the kits stay latched on and are drug out of the nest box. Do not be afraid to put them back in the nest box. Momma rabbit will still take...
