Rabbits are great! I love mine just as much as I do my chickens! Theyre so low maintenance and it looks like your doing a great job. Congrats on the babies! Any questions you have I'd be glad to help

Have you of you ever potty trained a rabbit? How challenging is this to do and how is their overall success?

The level of difficulty varies by the rabbit. My rabbits pick a corner on their own, so for me it's super easy to just place the potty there and they do the rest.

Never potty trained before.. But I have heard that it isn't to hard to teach them to pee in a certain place, but the little milk duds can pop out anytime

And... we have babies again! Our initial non-invasive inspection leads us to believe we have 14-15 between the two Californians. Eight in one and six or seven in the other. One is a brand new momma and she is doing very well so far. Last night she started pulling fur and this morning there were babies. Also this morning the other Cali started pulling fur and by noon had kindled. We have a dutch who we believe is either pregnant or has a false pregnancy. If she's pregnant then she'll kindle this coming weekend most likely, and those babies will be a dutch/californian mix. The dutch has supposedly kindled once before and ate them all... fingers crossed she'll do better this time around!

I always give litter munchers a second chance, and 9 times out of 10 they do great the next time around, but after 2 litters if theyre still eating them, theyre frying pan bound! good luck with your new litters!
