Litters due in April?

porkchop48: That's great! Just in time for Easter Babies! In December was my first time & her's!

PinkFox: same as me! Last time she built her nest on the 12/3 and had them on the night of the 6th. I hope I come home from work to little popples!

My chocolate tort had babies this morning! Last night there want even pulled fur. I guess she likes to fly by the seat of her pants I walked into the rabbit shed this morning around 7:30 to feed them and peeked in the boxes just to make sure and.... Holy crap! ELEVEN babies! Everyone was nestled up in a perfectly lined fur bed alive and mostly fed. Only a few wrinkly kits. This is a first litter for both of us so I'm super excited that everyone is alive and well so far!

Now my daughter thinks that all baby rabbits are pink. But then again, she is two... so that's okay. I'll post pics of my Easter babies when I get to a computer.

Yay!

She's a mini rex. My buck is a smaller NZB.

I miscounted big time! Last night I counted 6. This morning I counted 7.
2 broken & the rest black (not sure if they are solid)

Maybe she had more last night?
Last night I collected some yard greens for her.
I added oats in with her feed this morning.

What a good Mommy!

PS: I made a little video of her building her nest box!

Congrats! It should be so fun to watch colors come in. My pair was a chocolate tort doe and a REW buck, both FA's. I'm still new to color genetics, but it would seem my REW carries chocolate because I have no blacks or blues and a few that look pinkish brown. There are also a few that have a silver sheen to the tiny bit of fur they have and a few that are just plain pink. My guess is chocolates, lilacs?, and REW. We'll see how close I get.

Here is Clementine's litter of eleven at 3-days old (yesterday). Clementine is a chocolate tort bred with my REW buck. It looks like there are 4 chocolates or chocolate torts (their color is slightly darker than this picture now), 3 questionable colored kits (maybe lilac?), and 4 definitely REW kits. It is so fun to see the colors develop from day to day!

I *should* have a litter due in April! I bred my doe on March 31, so I'm guessing she'd be due between April 27th (day 28) and April 30th maybe? My first litter! Well, except 2 when I was a kid when we didn't realize we had a buck and a doe, and not 2 does.
