and I have 26 rabbits. My females are giving birth outside the kindling boxes, it is cold so I have heat lamps on them but they are dying do you know what I am doing wrong?

How cold is cold? The problem may be the heat lamps. Rabbits do cold just fine. Skip the heat lamps, stuff the nest boxes with plenty of pine shavings and hay, and your does will know just what to do.

Good luck!
