What do you stuff you nextbox with? How often do you clean it out?

I'd put saw dust inthe bottom of the nest box, give it to the doe in her cage, and put more hay in the cage then you think she would need. If she doesn't build the nest put the hay in the nest box and she should do the rest. If not, make a BIG THICK nest and pull fur from her (if she is molting) or you could use dryer sheets. Or other rabbit's fur sometimes works too.

I put shavings in the bottom of my nestboxes, then fill them with straw and make a hole in the center of it to encourage the doe to build her nest. The straw seems to be less likely to be eaten by the doe than hay. ;)

I clean my nestboxes out before the kits open their eyes, usually on day 8 or 9. I put the clean fur back in the nestbox to keep the kits warm until they're a couple of weeks old and have plenty of fur to keep themselves warm. I clean the nestbox out every few days and fill it with clean shavings and straw until the kits no longer need the nestbox, around 3 weeks.

Thats a good point- I do hay because it has a better chance of the babies munching on it. Helps them get used to solid foods.:) Most of my mom's don't eat their hay- but for others it may be a problem. I never even thought of that. Good suggestion. Good luck with the nest making! :P

I also do this.

I clean the nestbox out about 1 - 2 times a week.

Thank you everyone for your answers.

I gave her a nestbox yesterday filled with pure hay as I didn't have any shavings on hand.

I do have an off topic question though, my doe is due tomorrow: should I be able to feel anything inside of her? Granted this is my first pregnant doe so I really don't know what I'm feeling for besides lumps. :)

Within a few days of her kindling, you should be able to feel the babies kicking around inside her pretty easily.

All my does to start get a wooden nestbox with 1 inch of shavings and straw. I also put some straw on the floor cage, because many of the does will take that and build their nest.

Once the doe has had the babies, I let things go until 2 wks, or the babies have eyes open and are wandering around. I then move the dry hair from the wood box into a rubbermaid container. This container has new straw with 1 inch of new shavings on the bottom. The babies are less likely to hop out of this taller box, and by this time, mom isnt in the box as much to tip it over, etc.

The nestboxes are all disenfected and air dried once the babies are out of them. The tubs are so easy to clean compared to the wooden boxes, and they stack nicely too!

Hmm I can't feel anything at all. :(

Although when picking her up yesterday she did growl/try to nip me. Whether she is pregnant or ready to be bred I have no idea.
