Kits were all born dead last week 5 total the weather had a lot to with it went from 70 degrees to 27 degrees over night I had it warm protected and every thing but was not enough with the weather change I guess. so I am done breeding till spring time.

Love the pics and videos! Been MIA awhile, crazy busy. Bunnies are producing awesome. I'm getting a few kindles a month and hubby is building me a set of grow out pens soon. We produced a lot if keepers!

Happy Turkey day everyone!

Adorable babies! Can't wait to have my first litter in the nest box. Is that the nestboxes you get at Tractor Supply? I'm wondering if large covered cat litter boxes would work as boxes for my NZ/Flemish doe.

I'm not sure if I have actually posted pictures of my herd/hutch here yet, so I thought I would let you in to see my meat mutt herd!!! Hope you enjoy and it is PICTURE HEAVY!!!!!!!

Hutches:

Un-named Buck

Buster

Cali Grooming herself- I am having some issues with her. She had her only litter for me in August, and has either missed or not taken since. I keep giving her the benefit of the doubt, but I think she is just getting up there in age, as well as weight. What can I do to try to decrease her weight a bit to see if she would be receptive to the buck?

Hunni Bunni

Grow Out Litter

Violet

Any advice or input is appreciated! Any guesses as to what potential breeds Hunni Bunni is? I am still learning breeds and colors and would love your knowledge!!!..
.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Have a Wonderful New Year!!

Crookdbeak - I love how resourceful you have been with your set up. Can't help out with breed id am too new myself and also have mutts. Hopefully our first litter is percolating now. First attempt didn't produce any. This is our second go of it. She is carrying around the hay which the first one never did. Fingers crossed. Happy New Year to all.
