Anyone with Babies due in Feb?

[77Herford]

I got babies coming out of my ears. Both my NZ does have had their litters. Except for some initial losses they are doing fine and growing. Soon I expect my D'Argent doe to give birth. The sire is a NZ for all.

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.

I just wanted to offer an update: Monday was the earliest I could expect them to deliver (day 28) and they delivered today (day 31) when I went out to do rabbit chores I found one of my females had given birth to 9 babies but that 5 of them were spread around the nest box, exposed and dead. I tried rewarming them but still no signs of life. My second female was actively nesting and had a bloody rump so I new it was time. I checked one her a few hours later and found the litter was also spread out but they were still warm. In the second litter there was 13 babies. I removed 4 babies from the second litter and put them in with the first smaller litter.

For today I have 13 live babies, which I hope will all make it. Today has been a good day for my little rabbitry. My first time mommas are doing fine and I feel like a proud owner.

What size are your nest boxes ?
Any pictures ?
