Big day in the Rabbitry

[CraftyHen]

Woo-hoo! I've got 3 nest boxes full of newborns! The does were all bred same day: 1 proven, 1 newbie & 1 who was on her 3rd attempt at getting pregnant. Well, Lady Cotton Bottom hit a homerun w/bases loaded (I'm missing baseball, does it show?) She kindled day 30 - 10 fat little kits! Finally! I'd almost decided she was barren.
Evelyn and June Bug joined her this morning with at least 10 each I think. It was a bit chilly earlier so I didn't peek for too long but both nests are packed. So exciting when everything actually goes according to plan.

You're getting 30??
I usually breed Rex but these are crossed. 1. Cali doe, Rex buck. 2. Rex doe, Champagne d'Argent buck. 3. Rex doe, NZ buck.
The Rex grow out slowly so I'm looking to see who does best this summer in grow pens. Will continue with pure Rex's too because I love them.
