bored jill

My jill has been getting noticibly more frustrated as her kits have grown (8weeks). So I took her out tonight and let her bolt some rabbits for the pup, thinking a bit of time away mite do her good. Luckily I'd shot a couple earlier as the pup tripped over in the long grass and missed a second runner aswel. Point is does/has anyone used there jill relatively soon after her feeding kits?I noticed she was much quicker covering the warren and was definitely using every hole I could see and the few bolts I didn't, it seemed like the kits had upped her instinct.let's hope she continues come september and teaches the 3kit I'm keeping how to go on. Anyway I gave her a shot rabbit and let her drag it into the rabble, the kits were straight into it.happy days! How old do you lads normally start kits? Its been a few years since I had kits to start and can't remember how old they were? Cheers john

Haha sorry think u got wrong end of stick. they are well weaned mate, she still wants to feed them all the time tho. I give them a rabbit every evening and she looks as if to say is that it. What I meant was she's frantic at times climbing the mesh wanting to be out away from them a bit.it seemed to work anyway she was more settled after her little trip out. My post was more asking if [NO TEXT TALK] else had noticed the change in behaviour toward workin after kits. Cheers john

She should be out for a run everyday in the garden or house.

She doees get out mate but iv gotta sit out with her as she can climb the walls. I'm moving shortly so I'm waiting to make a good run for them aswell. This thread isn't about looking after them, I know about the caring/excersise part of things. it was about the change in attitude towards rabbiting. Cheers
