BRM's Bunny Thread! ❤️🐰❤️

I ran out of hay. So I got them some. Put it in the litter box.
Then Fifi (my doe) started putting it in a nest-shape. She’s been in it all day

Could she be pregnant? I only noticed the change of behaviour a week ago. Did I separate them too late?
The buck is 3 months old

Possible... If he was mounting her at all out of dominance then she's probably faking it. The bucks could potentially be fertile then, but it took Caspian 9 months until he could make a doe pregnant. Send pictures of her nest as she builds it. Mirabelle always faked on the 2nd week. When she really was pregnant, she started work on the nest week 3 and then finished it off minutes before kindling.

Here are some pictures of the orange doe! I am getting her Sunday night! Super excited

I am also getting this creme buck. I want my rabbitry to focus on breeding rarer colors. Such as frosted pearl and blue. We will also do oranges which aren't too comon either. I need to breed in another blue frosted pearl so that I can have a dilute for Quinn, so that she can have blues! If Mir has a BFP doe in this litter, I think I will keep her to breed to the new creme buck.

Sadly, Kenobi will probably be leaving us. He wasn't a bad buy, but I just learned more of genetics and how it all works. I don't need 3 bucks!!

@BenlynFarm, how many bucks do you have?

She kept mounting him

Then she stopped. And he started mounting her. Then he stopped. And she didn’t make him mount her (like she sometimes did). And she sometimes charges at him now. Ack I’m really not sure

It also looked like he did mate her.

Curious question, how much do mini lops cost in the us?

No, I don’t think he did that

Also, would an experienced doe fake it?
She’s had 4 litters already
