Yeah I just hope I dont have a 45 day gestation again. I hope Marilyn does ok and that she's actually bred.

I hope so too!

Marti dug all the bedding out. Marilyn pulled a little bit of hair for her box.

Yay!
All of my does are same-day nest makers...they all pull fur and carry hay on their due date...that's always nerve wracking! My angoras though...they make nests 2 weeks early. Strange ones those angoras
Is Marilyn a Lionhead?

Marti is a active labor nester lol
Yes Marilyn is a lionhead. A very small one, almost ND size.

Ha ha!
They sound like cute rabbits I have 2 Lionhead does and 1 buck right now. I had to thin them out because I found that 2 of my best does had no nipples and couldn't nurse their kits

How does that happen? Were they related?
What colors do you have now?

It was definitely genetic....they were mother and daughter. I don't know how that happened but I bought them that way...now they are no longer in my program.
I have a black doe, a Charlie doe and a black buck now

maybe the daughter was fostered in another box?

Oh I meant that I don't know how they both turned out to be nipple-less rabbits
It was a bummer because the mom was pointed white and the daughter was REW. They were gorgeous and both really small and typey. My black doe is pretty too though, she's just a little bigger.

I never thought about checking for nips on rabbits before buying. Guess I will now lol
