Poor mum, she's got her work cut out!

Yes she had 10.

YAY!! Twizzler ain't sterile

YAY!! Babies have arrived! A large number of them, too. Is that normal for that rabbit? Do they generally have that many? (I'm thinking 6-8) and does she have teats for that many?

Congrats on both issues.

I don't raise rabbits...lotsa questions.

Angoras will normally have between 5 and 12 in a litter...my does are English (smaller than French) and they usually have 8 to 10 in a litter

CONGRATS! They're adorable! Definitely born late with all that fur on them ha ha!

She went on/around her due date. I had it figure on the 7th. When I went to bed on the 7th she was starting to pull hair. And when I woke up on the 8th there was babies.

just make sure she doesn't squish them! I've had that happen when she decides the nest box is a great place to sleep/rest in. I pull the box if they start that, and they only get the babies/box for feedings.

She is doing great. When it is to cold she goes in and lays over them but very carefully. It's amazing to see her with her babies.

Babies are doing good. We had 1 die. We think it got suffocated by the others. They are growing. Will get pictures tomorrow.

Can't wait for pictures!
I'm sorry that you lost one. Usually the runt of the litter won't make it, if it was a small kit I would assume it was the runt.

 

[Heart of the Matter Farm]

Surprising it was not the runt that died.
