I thought some of you might be interested in seeing how I prepare my nestboxes for my does and why I choose to do and use what I do.
I add the box on the 27th day, since it is possible for does to kindle on day 28.

Empty nestbox. First I drench the box in vinegar, let it sit, and dry it out.
Next, the box gets a layer of newspaper.
Thirdly, I add a couple handfuls of CareFresh litter. I skip this step with my spring and summer litters.
The fourth step is stuffing the nest box with hay, hay, hay!
Finally, I add a bunch of hay so the mama can add some to the nest herself. Hazel prefers to take all the hay I put in the box out of it, and add her own. She's very controlling, lol!
And the nesting begins!
