I think it is so neat that we can learn from each others experiences! We luckily have not had this happen. We all do chores so our rabbits are use to everyone but my kids will still come and get me if there is an issue when the does kindle.

Short and sweet post...middle of moving =/
2weeks and we officially have baby bunnies <3

We haven't moved the hutch yet. Saving them for last. Really hope this move doesn't stress Fluffy into not caring for kits. Anyone have this awful timing? Love to hear comments/suggestions!

I typically don't move does until kits are 3-4 weeks old and able to care for themselves if they have to. That said, I've never had a doe stop caring for her kits when moved with them, so :fl!

Thank you so much- I'm really doing my best not to stress everyone. Meanwhile my hair is falling out!

Okay question time. The kits turned two weeks Sunday and my little favorite one eye was still shut with some crusty. I took warm water to wash off (with the dingy coloring, and smell, i knew it was from pee. BAD!)

The eye is cracked open. No puss, but definitely crusty. Is there an ointment or saline i can use to flush out to prevent infection?????

I would use warm water and gently work off the crusties...You can use a very mild saline solution once it's clean if you want to be on the safe side, but it's mostly just the crusties and goop you want gone :)
