I have had a lot of litters of 5 to 8 kits With no nest box just a lot of hay. Couple of months a go I started using nest boxes. Now im getting 8 to 12 kits. Do you think the nest box is the reason?

Oh My! They are adorable!
Can't imagine why your litters are bigger now. All I can think is temperature changes when the does were bred.

I wish i was over run with babies. Sadly, I've been having some issues with my litters. Last time she had 4 live babies, 1 was a peanut, and 2 got sick from the flies. This time, she had 3 live babies, but two are peanuts.

I was wondering if water could cause problems? I fill a 40 gal. container twice a week then fill the bowls and bottles from there. Sorry about the peanuts.
