Shaded Night Rabbitry
Well-Known Member
My good friend that's breeding dutch and ND's is having a problem.
Her sister, while she was gone, stuck a cali buck that she was taking as a meat rabbit to fair, in with a dutch doe.
This doe was not proven, and is a year old today. She never made a nest.
This, according to my friend, is a great doe. She would love to salvage the doe as a brood doe. She never really planned on breeding her, but once she was pregnant, made plans to breed her to her sire. (Owned by someone else.)
She couldn't find any information on retained kits, and if it's going to kill her or not. I know there's always a chance, but I figure I'd post on here and ask. It's day 38, so it looks like chances of a litter being delivered is slim.
What do y'all suggest?
