What is the largest size litter you've ever had? (And breed too)

[TinysMom]

I had 10 lionheads in one litter...all made it to weaning.

Anyone else?

 

[bunnytamer]

I had 16 babies Flemish Giant mix. None survived.:bunnyangel2:

 

[BlueGiants]

My largest litter was 14 Flemish Giants and 11 made it to weaning... (7 were fostered to other does!)

 

[bunnybunbunb]

9, all DOA, Lionhead Lops. The doe died the day she was due, we tried to save the babies by a very unskilled "c-section" right after she passed but they where already gone.

Poppy(mini rex) and Jules'(Dutch) first litters, both had 8 and both lost 1 before weaning, raised their own. Amita had 8 and kept all through weaning.
THey had them on different years, Poppy's almost 3 years, Amita's 2 years and Jules is 9 months.

I had a litter of 10 Dutch mixes born. All made it through weaning.

I probably should have said "non-doa" litters...

 

[The Turtle]

We have a black Flemish Giant buck from a litter (from another breeder) of 13 or 14! All but one made it, though some have passed away since and our Harry is just fine. For Flemish, sometimes kits from big litters seem to take longer to make weight. Many still do.

There was a person who fostered a litter of 12 that was mixed breed/lop I think...

 

[Bramblerose]

Flemish Giant 11, 7 survived, all does, she raised 9 as I fostered two from a Satin Angora on her. Florida White has 10 right now, think their 3-4 weeks, all doing well. Floridas can really have large litters, think Blossoms last litter was 11, lost a few along the way, raised 7 or 8.

Bigeest Wooly litter = 7 and 5 lived

Biggest litter ever = 13 flemish giants and 11 made it

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

I think the largest size litter I've had was 9...and that was mix babies; back when I first got into rabbits. And they all lived.

The largest litter now for Mini Rex - just 4. lol.

Wow.... I didn't realize Flemish could have so many babies. Thats amazing.

 

[polly]

5 in a nethie litter and 7 in a beveren litter so far

 

[massie777]

i had a dwarf mix litter of 10 but only 8 survived.

 

[BSAR]

Wow that is a lot of babies for a lionhead!!

 

[DeniseJP]

8 kits in a Holland Lop litter years ago and she was not a big doe - no peanuts in the litter - everyone made it.

I had a standard rex give birth to a litter of eight, only three survived.

 

[jcl_24]

Is it correct that does have a set number of teats, 7 or 8?

Nature makes things more difficult for does that produce xlarge litters. Kudos to any bun owner who has attempted to hand rear kits.

It's good that fostering kits onto another doe can be successful
