NZW Meat Rabbit Litter AH - Day 30 (1/1/2012), Part 2: SW Nest Building and Litter Birth
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 3 Jan 2012
30 days after breeding with B2 on 12/2/2011, SW continues to build her nest early in the morning in the 5 o'clock hour. At 5:45AM, she begins giving birth to her litter.
SW was a proven breeder when I got her in July 2011. She is approximately 2 years old now and this is now her third litter with me and she has done beautifully each time on her own without any assistance from me. While she is small (8.5 pounds) according to the New Zealand rabbit standard, I've kept her around because she has great mothering instincts (nest building, birthing, and nursing).
