Had 2 first time momma rabbits kindle this spring. One has done an amazing job the other not so much.
At a week old she decided not to care for them. Took them away and brought inside. Then it was twice a day feedings for them. Brought momma to babies and she did wonderful taking care of them in the box.
Both litters are in a growout now and rabbits have been bred back. Now to see how she does this time around.

When hatching larger breeds of fowl that take up more room in the incubator, you may need to expand a little. We drove up to the UP and picked up another GQF 1502. This one is an older model but still works just as good as my newer one.
