So Faith had her babies Monday. I was lucky she started going into labor when I got home from school. She had had 3 by 5:30-6:00 and that's all I thought she was going to have. I gave them all fresh water before I went to school... It was her first litter so I knew they weren't going to make it. One looked like it didn't survive the night but I couldn't see the other two. I thought I heard a noise so I just closed it so if any were alive they wouldn't get cold. When I got home I went straight out to the hutches. Mamma was outside so I figured they didn't make it. I looked into her house and I was right. So I took out the nextbox and looked at the kits. There was 5!!! 4 is a big and rare litter for rabbits to have so 5! Three were Standards and 2 were sports. They were pretty big and looked well fed, so I guess we'll never know what happened. Maybe it had gotten too cold... Juliet didn't have any babies so I don't know what happened. I thought she was going to but there hasn't been anything. I can't wait to re-breed them! Hopefully it will get warmer and the babies will make it!
