Had a doe drop 13 Wed

Still got them all. I looked in on them 2 rows, heads together, looking like little pigs

All I get is 5-8 each litter. Most times only 4-5 survive, feeling like my breeding stock my be a bit lame.

I'm jealous. My rabbits give me 6-8...I once got 9, but from a Mini Lop! Back when I used to show, I got 10-13 from each doe! I can't locate stock that throws that many now.

Congratulations on the huge litter & glad they are all still hanging in there!

I like the 6-8 litter sizes best, they seem to grow faster & do better. I do have a doe that had 12 but I fostered a couple to another doe that only had 8 the day before.
