Right, but not the kind she uses for a bathroom. I think you're thinking nest box!

And I would almost give it to her 5 days before, but others might saydifferently. My does had a nest box as part of their hutch, and onestarted building a week before. The other did nothing until shedelivered, when she made a nice nest.

Good luck, count 28 days from breeding!

I have fuzzy lops too! Can you post some pictures?

If you search my name (bojay) on this board, you will see lots of postsfrom me about my first fuzzy lop litter and all the fantastic adviceI've been getting from these wonderful rabbit people.

Be prepared for "peanuts". Good luck!

Fuzzy lop kits are so funny looking, they're precious.

Contrary to what someone else suggested do notoverfeed her! You'll make her fat, and she'll have problems kindlingthe babies. Kepp her on her regular amount of food. Give her a nest boxa couple of days before she is due. Which will be between the 28th, and32nd day. The day before she has the babies cut her feed back in half.Do that for about 5-7 days. It wont hurt her or the babies. It willreduce her chances of getting masititus during her first week with thebabies. Then after that increase her to full feed. Make sure she getsplenty of grass or timothy hay at all times. Also after she kindles,youll want to check the nest box every day for dead kits.
