Mine was with the buck on March 15th and This morning I found 8 dead bunnies


she had her box in there and ready but she didn't lay them in there again she goes on the wire and sits on them and all 8 were dead when I got to them in the morning


this doe had over 5 litters last year with no problems :(

temps are in the 30-40 range over night here nothing else I can think off


oh I thought they suppose to take 31 days to give birth no ?

Normal gestation is 28 - 32 days depending on the doe. Any born before about day 27 aren't going to make it, but she can carry them all the way to day 35 which is uncommon but not rare.

Something could have startled her and she aborted them. Were there any drastic changes in the normal daily routine?
