    How cold is too cold to kindle?

    The way our cages are set up they are made for winter breeding. We have a nest box area built into the cage, 3/4ths of the cage are soild wood (in the summer we take off a wall to allow air movement) and our current does do really good with making a warm nest with lots of fur. With that said I...

    What is the Best Breed of Rabbit?

    I have to chime in and say that I love breeding Silver Foxes. Ours have great temperaments and have been for the most part easy to breed.

    Kinda worried...

    Shes not really in to being touched so I think palpitating her will cause more harm than good. Shes not pushing and I got a pretty good view of her hind end through the wire and no discharge. She seems pretty exhausted so we will see.

    Possible false pregnancy?

    I would still give her a nest as though she is going to kindle normally. Our two does did weird thing the first time around, Sapphire pulled so much fur around day 20 (she lined her nest cage and food bowl :P) and then trampled and destroyed her nest only to rebuild it a week later. Our other...

    Not enough pulled hair

    Sounds like they are warm and happy! Depending on the personality of your doe putting different rabbit fur should not upset her. I've heard of people putting dog fur, dryer lint and other things to replace moms fur.

We have never noticed this sound before and it was pretty loud. My husband took him inside and after he calmed down for a few minutes the sound lessened but still...
