- It can be a little nerve racking when your rabbit is getting ready to have her babies. But it really isn't that difficult to prepare for and there really isn't that much you have to do. In this video I walk you through the process.

You are by far, the most valuable player in the homested world .
In my opinion.
Well spoken, down to earth advice. Suitable for an average family farm.
We don't have a 40 acre farm and a family of 6. It's just me and mom on a fixed income.
another great video thank you 🙏🏼
Dosnt matter how often i see that i can't get enough. Wonderful part of life.🥰👍
I agree. Thanks for watching.
Great video, thank you!
Thank you. I am glad you liked it.
We plan on breeding our rabbits this fall. Thank you for this education.
Thank you for watching. I hope it all goes well.
I have a female have bs y right on the 28 day the same day I put in the nest box she is a first time mom she didn’t pull any fur but your vid helped me out a lot they are almost two weeks old now💯
Awesome. I am glad to hear that they are doing well. Congratulations.
Thanks Chris. I got a little discouraged last night with my doe making a mess and destroying the nesting box. I will use your tips going forward
Thank you for watching. I am glad that you found the video helpful. Good luck with your litter.
Awesome video thank you
Thank you for watching. I am glad you liked it.
Brilliant!
I put my little Dutch with a buck on Xmas day, so I'm just a wee bit behind you. She's started gathering hay, so the nest box is in.
This one was planned, so she's inside my outbuilding, and I'll have a little paraffin greenhouse heater running over the next couple of nights.
I do actually have a baby alarm camera to put in there, but the last time (she's had a false try) I was careless, and she chewed the power cable for me (12v).
We can't get the galvanised feeders, that seem to be in abundance in the States, here in Britain. I don't think it's as common to breed rabbits as it was a couple of decades ago here. Who knows, maybe that's about to change.
Respect!
Thank you so much for watching. It sounds like you have a very nice set up for your rabbit. Good luck with the kindling and I hope it all goes well.
@@Slightlyrednecked Cheers.
My set up is only good because I watch you.
She had ten last night, and I found some small feeders for £4.77; which is nothing.
Easy'!
Thanks for sharing..🙂
Thank you for watching.
Our for just had her litter of five little ones. Lovely weather. Right on schedule.
Congratulations on the new babies.
Hi Chris! i love your videos! you should try putting hay in their hutch, i made this mistake and my rabbit got red sours on her feet and it caused a infection!
I have a few does that are ready to have babies in the next few weeks. I put mine in three days before. Sometimes they can use is is a potty box so this is nice to know.
Good luck with your new litters. And thanks for watching.
both my does are due on friday this is wendsday my question is well the one doe has pulled hair the other hasent but is there a way to tell if she had her kits and idk ate them ?
Hey Chris, have you ever had a doe build a nest and pull fur a week before due and have a successful litter or is that generally a sign of phantom pregnancy?
I have had them do it several days before but I don't think a week before. I don't know that it really means much of anything. I would give her at least a week after she is due before I considered it a false pregnancy.
I know this is an old video but i could really use some guidance. My rabbit was gathering hay and everything seemed normal but i noticed she ate some of it and made a nest only with about a half of what i gave her. I dont know what to do. Thanks in
advance.
Thanks
Thank you for watching
Hey, I’m from Bangladesh. I want to keep quails for eggs. I’m not sure how many quails I need to have.I have a family of 4 and we consume about 3-4 eggs each a day (12-16 eggs a day in total). And one more thing, can u please tell me how I can get eggs all year round. Thanks.
I think my female is about to have babies. We found fur under her hutch so put her nesting box in and will be locking her in the hutch today. so she doesn’t have them under the hutch. First time
I had two litters born on January 30th there first time moms one had 7 kits and the other one had 8 kits very there all doing good so far
Awesome. Congratulations.
Hello Chris I really need your HELP
My rabbit doe was bread 28 days ago. So I put the nest box in, but she isn’t making a Nest what should I do 😧
Nothing. Just give her some time. Most rabbits don't really do any nest building until right before they have their babies.
Can you leave two mothers on the same cage?
We all know that you do rabbits and quail but which is more economical? If you had to choose only one which one would you choose
That is tough to say. If you are looking at strictly the amount of meat you can produce then it would probably be quail since you can choose to incubate as many eggs as you want to and get as many birds as you want.
Thought both of my does would have given birth by the 16th. I just tried to re breed. Both lifted immediately. Now we are shooting for the 18th next month, that would be 31 if you count today. Sucks because we lost both of there litters in December. They have both been wonderful moms taking litters of 8 9 &10 out to friers. Just this last litter threw us off. Fingers crossed
I am sorry to hear that you are having problems. Sometimes rabbits just don't "breed like rabbits". Good luck with this round. I hope it all goes well.
Whats the longest conception to kindle you have experienced?
I have a doe bred dec 10th... and still nothing but she is acting different so its been almost 2weeks of regular checks on her at this point.
35 days is about the longest time.
I've heard of up to 40 days
Sorry for the slow response. I haven't had any does go over 32 days myself but it isn't uncommon for a doe to take up to 40 days. I would give her at least that long before I considered her not pregnant and then go ahead and re breed her.
My last two litters born Jan 1 and Jan 10 the Does wanted to build their nest 5 and 7 days early. First time I've had that happen
I have had a few does that like to build their nest 5 days early. But most of them are more likely to build it the day before or even the day of kindling.
Will my doe rabbit babies make it if she has 12 babies she lost one she didn't eat it or anything like. That all she was got the baby and stuck it in the feed bowl
It is pretty common for them to lose one or two from a littler that big. It isn't anything to worry about.
😊
Hey chris plz i need ur help i bred my doe in the morning and ive got 3 successful fall off than i checked theire private part and they were both very red and there was i litte bit of blood in it what should i do and should i breed her next day ?
Thats topical
I am guessing that this is a first time doe. What you described isn't uncommon and is no need for worry. If you have 3 fall offs, I would count her as pregnant and wouldn't re breed her.
@@Slightlyredneckedokey thank u so much
I need help !! I have a doe that had two litters already but all died within 3 days ? What should I do
Oh no, I am sorry to hear that. It sounds like she isn't cut out to be a mother. I would look for a new rabbit if it were me.
My white newzeland doe she had 12 babies that I counted I think she might have more I only counted the one I can see they are a week old now and I just love them
Awesome. 12 is a big litter. Congratulations.
I have a question!!! My doe is supposed to be pregnant but she hasn’t started the nest and she is due (ahem) tomorrow:( so she is either not pregnant or idk what is happening
I am sorry for the slow response. I am sure you already figured this out but rabbits don't usually show any signs of pregnancy until the day they are having the babies. it isn't a concern if she hasn't built a nest yet. Just give her some time (in fact, she has probably already had the babies). If she hasn't had the babies in another week then go ahead and re breed her if you want to.
No problem:)
ASAP! My 4 days old kit get injure should I seperate him/him? I AM SAD💔☹️
I am sorry for the slow response. It really depends on how bad the injury is. It is best to leave them with the mother and the other kits if you can though.
@@Slightlyrednecked ThnkYou now it's okkk And one More Question I just feed my kit morning around 11/12 am and 8/8 30 pm twice a day daily without knowing my doe is feeding or not Should I do that☹️🔥
What size J feeders do you use in your cages?
I am not sure what size they are actually. I would have to measure them. I honestly wouldn't worry about the size too much. Most of the time (exception is when the doe has kits with her) I am only putting in a small amount of food per day so size isn't a big concern.
@@Slightlyrednecked thanks for the reply, I just wanted to make sure I didn’t buy ones that were too small or that needed filled multiple times per day. Never raised rabbits before, getting some silver fox in a few months.
My last litter took 32 days.
That is pretty common actually. My rabbit is pretty consistent with 30 days though.
Think she was trying to tell you that you picked the wrong corner.
That could be it for sure. She tends to move the nest box all around the cage anyway.
HELLO SLIGHTLY REDNECK. Thanks for taking the time to upload. Can i request a rabbit raising playlist so i can just focus on this subject? Please? Pretty please: with sugar on top.
I will see what I can do. I have a ton of videos that cover pretty much every aspect of raising rabbits and already have a "meat rabbit" playlist on my home page but it isn't well organized. I will see if I can find the time to get that put together a little more cleanly.
