Forgot to upload the pictures after i finished the rabbit hunt.

I bred the 2 does 11-25 and 11/27 so the buck had a rest period between the two does. Still no babies but as of this morning doe #2 which was bred 11/27 started pulling fur and building a nest in her box. I'm going to give the other doe another week before breeding her again. Also need to setup the auto water setup filling water bottles is a pain.

Doe 2 had her babies last night. When i went out this morning to check and feed the farm the fur nest was moving in the box.

Glad to hear your rabbit project is going good. Keep a close eye on the other one, my doe didn't pull hair, she just had them right on the wire floor. It's just luck that my daughter went out and checked them early that morning and we put them in the box where she later pulled hair and took to caring for them. It's really common for first time mothers to not get it right the first round.

Nice! Man, ain't nothing like BBQ rabbit on the grill. My father-in-law raised them when he was alive. Ate many a good meal at his house. Keep the pictures coming.
