When my original breeding stock of Cinnamon doe gave birth to her first litter on the 18nth of August 2011, we kept 3 female from this first litter and raised them as replacement does. I call them First Generation Replacement Doe # 1, Doe # 2 and Doe # 3. They were sired by the broken back Chinchilla buck so they are half Cinnamon and half Chinchilla breed.
Anyway, Doe # 1 was mated with the black Chinchilla buck on February 04,2012 at the age of 5 1/2 months old or just 2 weeks short of her 6- month birth date. She kindled on March 07, 2012 to her first litter of 6 healthy pups. Some of her kits took after their father's color which is glossy black. Sometimes, all we see in their cage are their shiny eyes especially when we go out just to check on them at night. We don't have electricity in the rabbitry yet but we plan on putting a light bulb in there soon especially during the rainy season so they will not be scared when there is a typhoon. On one side of the rabbitry is a translucent plastic sheet that brings in light inside the rabbitry even at night so that works just fine for now. Her cage is 2 1/2 feet wide by 3 feet long so there's ample space for her to roam around even if we put in a nest box inside. She occupies the lower bunk in the middle hutch inside the rabbitry which is bigger than the rest of the other hanging cages. These pictures below are her fist litter.
