What kind of "nest" for mama?

[Genipher]

Yeah, today is "the day" (or night?) that our doe should be popping, according to the charts. Can't wait to take a peek tomorrow!

I had a plastic tub in our hutch as a "test run" and our doe managed to kick it out of its wedged spot (didn't have a way to secure it to the wire) so besides the fact that they'll chew on it (didn't think of that before so thanks everyone for the reminder!), it just wouldn't work to have kits in something that's going to be flipped over.

Its been my experience that if they aren't ready to nest they will toss around all of the nest boxes. Or use them as a litter box.
