Anyone else expecting kits end of this month?!

My little "mixed" bunny, Smudge, kindled last night - 2 days earlier than expected. I think it may have been because she is small and was bred to a large buck, or she has a lot of babies. We usually leave them alone the first 24-36 hours, especially with this doe. She's a fabulous mama; we haven't lost any from her yet. She was bred to a Black Otter Rex, and I'm hoping for a nice girl to replace one that ran away last week. Ungrateful bunny.

The Champagne D'Argent kindled last weekend - she kicked them all out of the nest. We put them back but they were dead on the wire the following morning. It's really a pity; she had ten gorgeous babies.

Wow... was it the first time for the Champagne D'Argent? Maybe trying a nest with a ceiling next time could help. You know to keep them in even if she freaks out the first couple of days... until she gets used to them.
