No litters yet either. :/ The nest box went in last night for my doe, Delta Dawn, due on the 17th. 
She has "dug" all the hay & bedding out & keeps digging in the box. My other doe, Cassie, started nesting on the 5th. I finally took the nest box out & put the litter box back in. She used the litter box for a day & a half & then dumped it out & moved it to the other side of the cage where she kindled last time. 
I brought in another buck last Sunday who was persistent w/out being mean & she was not interested. I could tell she was not happy with me about it by the look on her face 
. Just checked & she made a nest in the litter box & has the cage floor carpeted with hay except for the spot where she likes to relax. Back to 
again.

Agouti (A) is dominant over self or solid (a). Agouti A_B_C_D_E_ x Black aaB_C_D_E_ If you have Black self kits then dad is Agouti carrying self AaB_C_D_E_, otherwise you would only get Agouti.zzGypsy said:
1. If dad is Agouti (Chestnut) & mom is Black you should get mainly Agouti & Black. From the picture I would guess 2 of each. You could get other colors depending on what each recessive a parent is carrying. Can you post new pics of babies?
2. I need to see a pics of mom showing all her colors to identify her color.

perfect timing! I was just out getting new pics...TherapyBunnies said:
here's the buck:
I can't get a decent photo of the black mama on my phone, but she's black all over, no white or gray on her ears, feet, belly, pretty sure she's self-black.
here's the babies:
I think there's two blacks, two agouti, maybe a charcoal (don't think it's agouti).
here's the other doe, crabbyrabbit:
she's apricot and gray
and crabbyrabbit's kits:
I think there's 2 blacks, 2 dark agoutis, one red-over-white, and one red-over-white with some black calico (you can see this on the ribs of the upper red kit)
dad looks like a medium shade wild-color to me, all the agouti kits from both mamas look much darker than papa.
so, what do you think? can we derive the genes on the parents from this?

well day 33 and nothing, not a nest in sight, no fur no changes in behaviour, no grumpyness...
felt around and couldnt feel any kind of lumps and bumps in the abdomen (not even small ones)
i was probably a little quick on the draw but at the advice of a friend, i put them (1 at a time) in with my buck and both imediatly presented to him, he didnt even have to flirt, they backed into him...so im now almost entirely certain they didnt take the first time (it was a very stressfull wekend for them as they were bred the day i picked them up form their origonal owners so had an almost 3 hour car rie home and brand new houses)...
got 3 sucessfull mounts for each girl so now hoping for march babbits...
I literally cant afford to wait lol, these gals need to start paying their food bill! lol

Did you breed both does to the same buck ? How much time between each doe ? If he did one doe three times then when he did the second one he was shooting blanks. Only use a buck on one doe a day. do you have the does in different cages ? They need to be in different cages for a month before breeding.
Good luck

Hey all!
Today the nest boxes go in! Two of my girls were bred on the 23rd of Jan. I have been feeling pretty lazy today so I didn't put the box in until tonight and didn't even have the wool liners ready for them, which I offer for added insulation during winter. I went out to check on them and my french angora rabbit had a 'beard' of hay on her chin with a mouthful of hay in her mouth. Exciting as she is a first time momma so I'll consider it a strong sign she is pregnant. Later after the liners are washed I'll offer them to the bunnies. They are due this next Monday! I hope I get healthy plump kits.

the girls dont live together they each have their own 4ft by 2ft hutch to laze around in lol...
but doe 1 in at 8:30 am, doe 2 in at 9am...then put doe 2 in again at 5pm and doe 1 in at 5:30pm
figured that would give me the best chance at good verility without having the 2 does due days apart and me only having 1 buck right now.
We'll see what happens
