Greene, I had two does in the same cage and knew there wasn't any chance of babies, but it was startling to say the least to see all the fur. I went though all of it twice just for sure. Then I threw it out. They weren't needing that much insulation in the cage now, maybe it/they was just shedding, too, but wow what ever the explanation.
Woofie.... I got the doe because she was running around someones yard loose who had hutches for sale. He told me he couldn't raise rabbits as every litter died. I was so encouraged I took her. I didn't need any babies. The next thing I know (stupid me) the buck in the other 1/2 of the cage (it was divided, I thought, all the way to the top. there was a tiny gap.) had scaled the wall and squeezed through an opening to find himself a girlfriend. OYVEY! she dropped a litter of 11 count them ELEVEN babies last winter. only one died. HOW could anyone be so fortunate? evidently I was. This time there was a hole in her cage floor and she slid out and went to a greenhouse I had all the other rabbits in and one of the bucks... once again scaled a cage and squished his way OUT. I can assure I I am not in the bunny business, I just wanted the bunny poop!, but she is a good momma rabbit. I am just glad there wasn't 11 this time, too. She is a harlequin doe... but now I just call her the harlot.
Thanks, kqcrna
