She pulls herself borderline bald lol Marilyn's nest is the same.
I've never had any luck feeling any babies but I'm pretty sure when I was rubbing Marilyn's belly earlier I felt at least one good size knot about the size of a baby. She'll probably wait until I'm at work tomorrow to have them.

Oh she'll wait...they always do The only time I've been around to see a litter born was when my Holland lop doe aborted her litter of three...2 stillborns and a live one! I still have that one, he's a super beautiful black buck now 4 months old. I used to be really bad at palpating but now I can do it real easy in my lops..my lionheads are hard though. Not sure why

I've never had luck. I've had Californians, mini lops, lionheads, Himalayans and new Zealands. I cant feel anything lol

Mostly. I have a New Zealand doe and a young blue standard Rex buck. I've been looking for a new Zealand buck but I can't find a adult only newly weaned babies.

I'm sure you've tried this already but have you looked on craigslist?
Sometimes under farm and garden people sell adult meat rabbits for breeding

Just went out to do my morning check. Marilyn had 4 babies! I was expecting 2 at the most!

Aww! Congratulations again!

So that's 10 babies born. Everyone was still hanging in when I checked after work. Now the next thing is waiting for colors.
