A year and a half later we have still have the original male rabbit and Fluffy the good mom is still with us. Two of the males were very aggressive, scratching and biting, and we had to separate them from the does. Fluffy and one of the other does just had 5 kits each. We’re selling the bunnies at 6 weeks.

We started last year (’15) with two females and a male, New Zealand and California cross. They are supposed to make wonderful moms. Fluffy did well right from the start. Puffy, not so much…She had three litters and didn’t care for them each time. We had to decommission her. Fluffy is doing fine with her latest litter.
It is so hot here in Florida this year, that the bunnies really suffer. We try to keep them cool with a fan and misting water. When Fluffy was about to have her kits this time, we put her in the Firebee shed. She that thought the AC was great! Then we moved her back out with the newbies and thought she wasn’t feeding them at first. That why you’ll see the dropper feed on the video. We even gave the kit some of Emma’s milk…that was an adventure, first time milking a goat!
Everything is working out fine for Fluffy now. She is feeding them. And Emma can concentrate on KatyToo and Half & Half!
Rabbits love the garden greens and veggies. Not so much Kale… At first the greens need to be dried so as not to upset their systems, especially if they have been used to pellets.
