I wasnt sure if there was a sure way to know if a doe is ready for mating or in the mood? I had several Does due this month and no kits :( I watch the buck and doe do the deed. Waited 35 days just to make sure. Is there something I'm missing? I got 2 litters this month but was suposed to get 5...

I was wondering if water could cause problems? I fill a 40 gal. container twice a week then fill the bowls and bottles from there. Sorry about the peanuts. :(
I have had a lot of litters of 5 to 8 kits With no nest box just a lot of hay. Couple of months a go I started using nest boxes. Now im getting 8 to 12 kits. Do you think the nest box is the reason?
Congrats on the babies :) I lost a few buy tuching them so now what I do to check on them is to get both hands on mom and pet her really good. getting her sent on my hands then it gets on her babies when I touch them.
I dont have power out to the rabbit but I bought these rubber bowls and they work really good. Got them from our feed store. The crocks were a waste of money.
