Stupid rabbits. My records are accurate had a doe kindle 5 normal size kits on day 26. I go to the barn today and she has another kit born day 27] I hadnt put the nest box in because I wasnt expecting another one. So for the heck of it there is a nest box in now, just in case. What is going on here?

Tracy, I have one doe that has done this to me twice. The second time, I had the box in, JUST IN CASE, and sure enough, she had her litter on the 26th day. The rest of the does, bred the same day, were a few days later. Must just be a shorter cycle? Jan
