    How early to remove the nest box?

    Thank you! I tend to be pretty pragmatic about these things, too. I was happy to feed him with a syringe a couple times a day to try to get him caught up but when he showed definite developmental dysfunction that was the end. Still not the best day. Next time I'll recognize it earlier.

    How early to remove the nest box?

    Thanks all. The healthy kits ended up moving out on their own at about 14 days. I left the nest box in for the runt until he opened his eyes and then put him out with the rest while doing twice daily feedings with him. Sadly I lost him at about 24 days old. The others are doing great, though...

    Thank you! I understand about wanting to wait until everyone's mobile, a couple of the little ones are still pretty uncoordinated.

    Hi all. My first two litters will be two weeks old on tue and wed this week. The biggest had open eyes today! One adventurous kit keeps climbing out of the box and getting lost on the wire. Is it too soon to take out the box and give them a pile of hay and fur in the cage to snuggle in? The ten...

    Hi everyone. Thanks, I feel so welcome.:) I have a small urban farm so it's just a breeding trio of meat mutts. It's only two of us, we don't need huge meals so we thought we'd try it this way to see if rabbits are good fit, and then upgrade to Californians or some such if necessary. We got a...

    Hi everyone. I've been lurking from over at BYC for a While. Now that my does have kindled for the first time and I'm officially on off on my rabbit adventure I thought I'd make it official. The information on this site has been so helpful already! Thanks!
