It was so hard for me last time. I went out every half an hour. On day 35, I took her to the vet. Turns out she wasn't even pregnant. :th
This time, she actually was pregnant and she built a great nest and has 4 healthy kits. SO dont give up!
Mine made a nest the day before she was due, then pulled fur right before she gave birth. It could be possible she was having a false pregnancy. It is best to leave them alone. Some does dont due anything until you're gone for a long time.
it wasnt a peanut, It had the same proportions as the others, just smaller. It looked like it wasnt fully developed. My doe separated it from the rest, so it took a bit of digging to find it.
I was thinking that the last two are possibly torts or broken because there skin seems to be in...
From what I have read, many first time does dont have successful litters. This happens all the time. There is nothing you can do. Rabbits are very instinctive animals and most times know just what to do. I would rebreed her. Most breeders do the "Three strikes your out" thing. If she dosnt have...
Late last night or early this morning my doe kindled! :weee
She had 4 live babies and one stillborn runt , which is GREAT for her first time! I thought they were all going to be dead/or she would only have 2. She built a great nest with lots of fluff. Here are the babies. It was hard to get a...
:lol: I went out this morning and there she was making a nest! She is due tomorrow. Im so excited! Here is a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOkQYCXmRSE
I was actually just going to look over her nails (she broke a dew claw) and make sure it was growing back. She is always grouchy and bites and scratches when I pick her up, but is calm when I hold her.
Also, would it be safe (for her) for me to palpate her?
My doe is due in 6 days. Is it safe to pick her up? Today is grooming day and I tried to pick her up, but she growled and hopped away. I dont want to hurt her or the unborn kits.
I believe that's what mine is doing. Yesterday I sat in the garage and nothing happened. Finally i bugged her cage and went into my house to watch her on the webcam. She started pulling fur and licking her belly. I went out twice this morning (I forgot the water jug the first time) then locked...
I felt them kicking in side her, and I spied on her all last night through a video cam and she kept licking her underside. Could it have anything to do with the amount of times I go in the barn to check on her? I went in alot yesterday. I have only gone in twice today.
My doe is doing the same thing. She just lounges there then gets up and eats her food. Right now she is either pulling fur or grooming her self. I am watching her through the webcam.
