I am feeding Frank and Matilda the same time every evening, yet they seem to be eating in the middle of the day? They get the odd piece of carrot/lettuce/bread.

Also the other day Matilda was gathering hay in her mouth. Is this preparations, a sure sign babies are coming?

Naturally, rabbits eat in the morning and at night. Eating in the middle of the day it a bit weird. It is really cold? They may be waiting until the warmest time of the day to come out and eat.
Thats called haystaching. She is preparing to kindle, or having a false pregnancy.

It is colder here, so that makes sense. I read that about hay gathering. Fingers crossed, New Year babies! Thanks.
