Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 My Jill gave birth to a litter of 3 kits on 13th May so just over 2 weeks old now. One of the kits was still born and all 3 were massive when they were born. Twice the size of the kits last year from a litter of 9. They are growing really well and the Jill is doing great. Getting through the best part of a rabbit every 2 days. The white kit is a Hob and the dark coloured kit is a Jill... 2 Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Cheers lads. I'm definitely keeping the Jill back. Should be able to start entering her towards the end of the season. Quote Link to post

I think it will be polecat coloured but I don't know for certain. It's like a blue/grey slate colour all over at the moment. Quote Link to post
