Counting down until Rosie's first litter!

We bred 3 of our does between October 22nd and 24th. Rosie is the only one of the three that has shown sure signs of pregnancy. Though I am hoping one of the other rabbits might surprise us with a litter too.

Around 2 weeks the pregnancy hormones were definitely making some changes in Rosie's temperament. That sweet girl suddenly became irritable. One day growling at us a couple other days charging and trying to bite when we messed with her hutch area more than she liked!

The third week she became obsessed with digging! She kicked everything out of her litter box digging. When she'd get put in the exercise area she'd scoot around on her tummy pushing the mulch in the funniest fashion on some mission of sorts. The changes in her have been amusing to see. Around the 23rd day I went ahead and put a nest box in. Not as much for nesting purposes yet but due to cold temperatures we were having. Well, within 2 days (on the 25th day) she arranged straw in the nest box and apparently was satisfied. She stopped digging like crazy and now seems to content to rest in her litter box in anticipation of delivery day.

This was the crazy girl on one of the days she was obsessed with digging and kicking everything out of the litter box.
