Good luck with your new babies. Are these for meat or other purposes?
What breed are they?

I breed Californians, for meat. Last month, the two I bred missed, guess the heat took a toll on my bucks, so I bred them all just in case.

Two of my four does missed also. I am guessing for the same reason. The heat this summer was over 94 degrees for more then 3 weeks.
It was darn near a full time job keeping them alive.... So, I was not suprised.
I have added two new does to my breeding stock-both should be prego. One due on the 17th. I am looking forward to that. The other doe will now be due in like 3 weeks. I will want to at least retain a buck out of this batch. So, at that time like 5-9 mo. from now I will have a very nice buck for sale. A proven boy with a longer body and throws nice personalities. Bred with the right female... he produces nice nice meals. He is young, meaning 1 1/2 yrs. old but has produced Florida White litters of up to 8. I love love my breeder rabbits... they help me out, and I make sure they are treated right. The edable group......... eats great, lives a wonderful life, and I try to insure they only have one bad second. I prefer to butcher efficiently.

I would LOVE to see a picture of all the weaned babies gathered together before they're slaughtered. If each doe has 10 kits...80 baby rabbits in one picture would be AMAZING!
