Rabbit Kindling DatesCalculating And Recording Rabbit Kindling DatesNow that you know which bucks and does to breed together, it is time to consult the calendar. Count forward 28 days. Will you be around to put in a nest box or do you have a substitute that can do it for you? Look at the period 29 to 33 days. Will you be around to welcome the new little ones into the barn? Do you want babies born while you are at a show or when you are having company? I have failed to check the calendar and have lived to regret it. Having babies due when my mom is my substitute is not a good idea. I've also have 17 does due on a day I also had company. Not good planning! Some folks also count ahead even further to see when the litter would be shown as juniors to make sure that there are shows in that timeframe. Moving the date forward or backward a bit might mean having an older junior at your favorite show of the year. Or you may not want a lot of juniors at their prime showing age during your summer break or at Christmas. |
