My does dont have access to straw till time to kindle so I dont have any experience with your question. I have learned that with rabbits they all have their little quirks and normal is relative to each rabbit. :)

Congratulations on your baby buns!

I thought I had read somewhere thatthey loved bread but dont trust the memory completely. Thanks everyone.

Thanks. I thought they might need to get used to the grass slowly. Now if we can just get some rain so there will be some gras

Can I feed my rabbits small amounts of stale wheat bread?

I just purchased a rabbit tractor so my bunnies can get some exercise and nibble on the grass and weeds. My rabbits get a bit of coastal hay and some timothy hay but have not gotten any weeds or grass while in my care. My question is will it give them digestive problems and can my grow out...

My experience is not vast but all of my does have kindled at night and most stop eating for a day beforehand.

Thanks for the responses . I was hoping I wouldnt have to try to determine sex of every bun!

Can you leave litter mates together until they are old enough for freezer camp? Planning to harvest at about 12 weeks. I tried to sex two litters today that are both 5 weeks old. I ended up with 10 does and 4 bucks. Not sure if I am no good at sexing them or really lucky to have so many does...

I have also had problems with doe using nest box as litter box if I put it in too early. They also seem to waste the nesting materials by throwing them out of box if they are not yet in nesting mood.

My cages are all connected together on stands. No way to relocate them.

Spring is coming quickly to my part of Texas and I was wondering how those of you raising rabbits in closed buildings deal with fur. I have seen torches on sale for this purpose but that scares me. My rabbits are in a small building and I was wondering if anyone ever uses a shop vac to deal with...

Do you free feed babies in growout cages?

Wow! Pretty! :)

So sorry to hear of everyone's losses. Guess that is part of raising animals that can't be completely controlled. I know I was discouraged after my rough start, but now my rabbitry has babies galore.

Adorable!

Thank you city life. I have changed quite a bit about my care with what I have learned here on this forum. Check out my pics on thread titled "two litters" a bit further down the page. Currently my rabbitry is full of buns!!!

Congrats on new babies!! My does did not do well with their first litters so you definately have a winner in that doe.
