She I put her due date as the date she had the kits?

[irishbunny]

My new bunny kindled *I think* four days before I got her, I got her on the 7th of this month so she would have had them around the 3rd, so should I count 31 days from the day she kindled and put that as her due date?

I think you're confusing the term "kindle" for being bred. Kindling is the term we use for rabbits giving birth.

If I'm correct about that. Then you should count 31 days from the 3rd and mark your calendar for babies.

No by kindling I mean giving birth lol, so she gave birth on the third, so should I count 31 days from the day she gave birth?

oh you mean to rebreed her? due date? I'm still confused...:?:blushan:

 

[irishbunny]

Hehe ok, I forgot to mention she was living with the buck, her brother, at her last owners house, so she gave birth on the 3rd, while he was still with her, the kits died, so he was free to breed with her at anytime, so I'm wondering should I count 31 days from the date she kindled?

Ah! That makes more sense.

Yes, count 31 days from that date.

 

[irishbunny]

Lol, ok thanks

I personally would be counting 28 days from her kindling date, and 33 days from the last day she was with the buck because theoretically she could next kindle at any point in that window (I've taken the shortest possible amount of time, and the longest possible amount of time). Most likely it will be 31 or 32 days after she kindled, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared for all eventualities.

Thanks Flashy, I'll be well prepared I'll do what you said then and I'll give her a nestbox in about 21 days.
