Mi Bunny

It should be kept in mind that breeding of a rabbit is no easy task and along with proficiency there is the need of high commitment and concentration. Are you getting nervous reading this? There is nothing to worry since I am confident that your love for bunnies will have the last laugh. How should you proceed then? Take for instance the breeding is already completed. In that case, you have to place a nest box in the doe's cage on day 28 after breeding. If it becomes difficult for you to do the same, you can make it a habit to do this whether the doe palpated remains positive or not. Care has to be taken always since even the seasoned breeders do commit mistakes.

There are, in fact, lots of instances that prove how experienced breeders can miss pregnancies. However, this is not unusual since to err is human. Let’s revert to our discussion. It's not so difficult to put a box in just in case. There are lots of nest boxes made from different materials as well. It may be that your nearest friend is fond of the material that you detest most. Whatever it is, both may be beneficial. Well if you ask me of my own preference, I do always opt for ones made with wire on the bottom.

What are the steps taken by me? Throughout the year, other than the month of summer, I fold up unprinted newsprint and place it in the bottom of the box first. Where can you get so many papers from? Either you have to inquire at the newspaper offices close at hand or have to depend on familiar vendors. Following this you can place nesting material in the box. Try to go for larger box since it will enable you to stuff a lot of hay within it and make an indentation in the middle back.

But be aware of the fact that the doe may not like this new arrangement and can try to tear out the paper from the very first day. There are also many who take out all of the hay and substitute it all gradually piece by piece. Others through several acts may try to vent their angers. Be prepared for this but never remain indifferent to the need of placing box and the nesting material on day 28.
