Also if you have to force the Doe to nurse the bunnies you will have to pee and poop them too. A warm wet cloth does the trick..

My husband doesn't have the material to build the extra nesting box, but he said that all of the kits are looking pretty good today! Town & supplies are an hour away, so it probably won't happen today. I'm encouraged that they all seem to be doing good!

It is so smoky today! I'm at my son's and the smoke is super thick. Our place is 3.5 hours away and my husband said that it's the same there, you can see the smoke hanging in the yard & absolutely no wind! We love the days when we don't have wind, but not when there is smoke involved! I think the whole state is blanketed in smoke!

Those are pretty terrifying too, but usually over faster than an out of control fire! I don't even know where all of the fires are! We also get smoke from fires up in Canada!

I just spoke with my husband, he will be separating the larger kits & bringing them in the house overnight, to give the smaller ones a chance to eat. I told him to make sure he made their bed with Daphne's fur! He said none of them looked very wrinkly earlier, so there is hope!

I shared this information & told him the doe usually licks them clean & asked him if he was ready to help those babies get things moving...he didn't think I was as funny as I thought I was...Also if you have to force the Doe to nurse the bunnies you will have to pee and poop them too.

Waiting to hear if the kits have full tummies. Thank you again for your help!
