    I think it’s happening y’all!

    So 2 of our kits are not getting enough milk from momma. One was extremely skinny and although we forced momma to give it a bit more food, it was really an awkward experience all around. (Husband held her which was already a bad idea because he had no idea how to do it and she doesn’t know him...

    I was thinking that, but I have a fat greedy beagle and I’m worried she’ll just sit at the base of their cages and howl them to death once she gets a taste 😑😑 do you ever have issues with your dog being more interested in them once they eat the babies?

    One little kit passed sometime last night, half warm/half cold, and blood in the nails. It was one of the larger kits too, and well fed, so I don’t know why. Maybe crushed, it’s head looks a little smushed, but I don’t know if that’s just because it was laid on by it’s brothers and sisters last...

    Look at that sweet little hair growing in! I rubbed her fur all over my hands before handling, and she didn’t seem to mind. It probably helped that I gave her some treats while I counted them and checked their tummies. 9 yesterday, and 9 today. They all look fed to me, but this is my first time...

    Well my other doe (Rosie) gave birth one day ahead of her expected schedule (she’s consistently 3 days late and only went two days late this time!) 😂😂 she had 9 beautiful pink little Californians! I was so excited to count them, I forgot to take a photo for y’all! (But you know this IS my first...

    How often do y’all hold and “pet” your breeding rabbits?

    We have two pregnant does and a buck that I got about 3 weeks ago. I pet them and give them herb treats, rose bush branches, and pine cones. But don’t “hold them” a lot. Should I be taking them out daily and petting/loving on them? I need to clip nails, and don’t want to disturb them too much...

    My other doe is technically due on the 25th, but she’s always late and I’m planning on the 28th mentally :) this girl is pulling more fur, and giving it her best shot! We shall see if she actually kindles:) she’s super late according to the woman I bought her from, but she didn’t keep great...

    It’s maddening I tell you! At this point I’m assuming she wasn’t actually bred, or that she lost the babies because of stress from the move... I’m giving her until Monday and then writing her off as a freeloader 😂😂

    Alright, I’ll just be patient. Not my best character trait 😂😂

    Hmm.. well no babies yet. I’m unsure of what I should do at this point! I’ve been trying to give her space and let her adjust to the new area, but I’m wondering if she aborted because of stress from the move? A friend who raises Californians said I should toss a cotton ball with a couple drops...

    No babies yet! Just an epic tunnel with a handful of hair... last night I said,”I know I’ve been saying this a lot, but I really think tonight is the night!” 😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Better stop saying that and just wait haha

    Starting to get some fur! I swear she gets my hopes every night and then nothing in the am! Haha I’m sure my husband is tired of me saying “I think tonight will be the night!”

    Haha! Sure did! When my husband and I were dating he’d make fun of me because I articulated so well... only in Texas is that an insult 😂😂 Husband: why can I hear ALL the T’s in the word button when you say it?! Her tunnel looks even better and I’m seeing fur on the sides of it now. But no...

    She’s a Rex/lion head mix.. we got her when she was bred, and I’m hoping that if I mix her with our Californian she makes some decently weighted babies with cool pelts.. we shall see haha
