[BarredBuff]

That's pretty awesome Buffy I hope it goes well for you!

Thanks! Im about to find out, I will post pics tonight

Well...where are the pics?!

It was dark when we got home and I couldnt see them for all the hair! But the hair was moving a lot this morning, so I have little children!

 

[BarredBuff]

Yeah and on the day she pulled hair it was 60s in the day and 50 at night, and then it turned to low 30s, and 20s. Then they ALL babies died...

I Cannot Get A Break!!

Hang in there.... so sorry...

 

[Wannabefree]

Sorry Buff...I know how you feel little brother

 

[BarredBuff]

Its been horrible this Fall, I dont know what Im doing wrong........

 

[pinkfox]

was this a first time mother?! unfortunatly its incredibly common to loose the first litter first timers dont make a deep enough nest or have em on the wire ect...
new born buns are typically ok in the cold as long as the nest is good enough and momma is attentive...
if there first timers id give them one more chance...
if not i think id be "rehoming" (in whatever way nessicary) and starting again with some proven stock.

such a shame, i know how excited you were for this one after the last dissapointment...
what kind of rabbits are they and what kind of set up are they in?! (wire, indoors? hutches? ect)

 

[BarredBuff]

She isnt a newbie, and she has been proven before, in April. So I dont know.......Im rebreeding her

They are French lops in out side hutches with wire floors, and they have nest boxes.

 

[pinkfox]

never dealt with frenchies before but i do know english are notoriously hard to sucessfully breed

yeah id give them another chance and then if nothing...it may just be the season, some buns do great as winter breeders, others not so mcuh.

got my fingers crossed for ya

So sorry to hear that. I could tell you were very excited about it.

ETA: After reading through your journal, I gotta tell you, If I had a kid, I'd want him to be just like you! You are an inspiration! Thanks!
