Hi All, I have two gorgeous mini lops. One is a blue buck 6 months of age and the other is a blue point doe 7 months of age. The problem is with the doe, who is housed in a large double story hutch in our yard. We hope she is pregnant allthough could be a phantom pregancy. I have two questions...
1. The hutch floor is covered with hay etc but the floor of the hutch is basically the dirt of the yard. She continues to burrow, although I have tried to encourage a nest box, and she burrows quite deep. I continue to fill the holes with bricks, stones etc. Any advice?
2. She never seems to go up to the top of the hutch which is well covered and more secure from the elements. It's large up there but she continues to stay downstairs and I never see her up there? Anyway, there are strange small longish poops on the top level every day I go to change the water. The hutch seems secure and has fly screens on the open areas. Could rats be sneaking in some how? Or some other animal? How should I stop them/it and is there cause for worry? I have never seen a rat on my property before, so not sure what it is?
