I got a new doe today. I was told she's had a few successful litters before. She is moving hay from area to another. Is she just making a comfortable place to rest in her new home? Do rabbits do that for any other reason than building a nest?

Thanks.

The buck is proven. My other doe has had two litters by him but they all died. Im not sure how old this doe is. The animal dude said she was grown. She looks full size. She doesn't really loft up at all. I've tried assisting a few times. He does fall over sometimes. I put her back in his cage...

Is there an easy way to check if my doe is pregnant? I bred her when I first got her and a month later nothing. I bred her again over a month ago ( april 8th is 1 month) and nothing. I don't want to breed her now if she is pregnant so how can i tell?

Thanks

If a buck locks up and falls over, is that a deffinate success? Sometimes he puts the work in but nothing happens

Well, the last kit died. Went to bring the box in and it was froze. I should have brought her in earlier. I need to get all this figured out for next time. This is two litters completely lost. When I decided to get into this, I thought they would just do their thing. So far, rabbits seem to be...

If i bring the kit out to the mother around 5 or 6 when i get home, what time should i bring the kit back in the house to keep it warm?

1 kit out of 9 left. Do i need to worry about the doe drying up since almost all her kits died? Will some teats not work while others do? I ask because when i hold her upside down and put the kit on her, the kit doesn't stay on one and feed

So if i do this before i go to work it will be good for the day and then maybe reheat before i go to bed?

Do i just microwave a bottled water and toss it in the box? How hot do i make it?

Should i heat up a waterbottle in the microwave and trow it in the nest box? How hot should i make it?

I read that the does only nurse when its dark out. Today I started holding her in my lap upside down and putting the kit on her to nurse. Not 100 percent sure if it's working but the kit does feel a little chilled.

Oit of 9 only 1 survived. I'm not sure its staying warm enough. Should I bring it inside at night?

Yes I would very much like the rabbit milk recipe

She was a first time mom with the last group. I'm pretty sure she has milk. Most of them looked pretty plump for a while but then they would flaten out and die. This one has been plump all 4 days

Hi. My doe had 9 kits 4 days ago. All of them except 1 were dead by day 3. Last time she lost all 6 by day 1. This morning I held her upside down in my lap and put the kit on her to nurse. Does this work ok? Are the kits able to get milk when mom is upside down. Is there a gravity issue with...

Do you by chance have a picture? Im setting up my tools now to build

No. They all died the next day or so. She just had her second litter yesterday. She seems to be doing better this time. Ive lost two so far out of eight but they smaller and weaker from the start. The first time she didn't even make a nest. She seemed like she was confused about what happened...

What size/ dimesions do I need to build a nesting box for a new Zealand?
