I think I'm impatient lol

Well my sable had made a nest (about a week ago) outside of her nest box. And she due around 6th. Yesterday she rearranged all her hay and pulled fur into her nest box so we were thinking they would be few days early. Ahh at the waiting

Wow, my latest doe didn't pull that much hair through the entire process.

How's she doing today?

 

[mygoldendoe]

Still no baby's gets. She has had some heavy breathing a bit so I think she may be having contractions.
I'm tempted to bring her cage into the garage as it's supposed to rain, high winds and hail tomorrow & their rabbit shed roof isn't up yet so we been using tarps over their individual cages.

Has she kindled yet?
Bringing the cage in is a great idea, especially if the bad weather could be stressful for her.

 

[mygoldendoe]

The wind had ended up blowing the storm away from us which was great news bc practically the whole state of Alabama was under the server warnings. But as of 5pm she had not kindled. I'm hoping that ill see a wriggly nest tomorrow when I do my morning checks. today was her 30 day mark so fingers crosses

I went to check them this morning and at first thought she didn't have them. I couldn't feel them even with slightly moving in the nest but she didn't I look I as fat so I'd check even further back by corners and I found them! She had em under a ton of fur. I tried to count them but they got super wiggly and bobbing around so it got difficult. Just feeling I can tell she had alot like my other one I seen 3 with their daddies bluegrey color. She did good letting me check them. Which made me even more proud for her first go. When I was done she went back and tended to them again. I went and picked her some yummy treats
Hopefully they'll be still enough to count tomorrow

 

[DutchBunny03]

Yay!!! It's a great sign that they are moving about this early in life, but keep an eye on any smaller ones, so they don't get trampled.

 

[mygoldendoe]

I did get to go count them individually. She had 13! 13! One is super small so I dunno how it'll fair in the long run. I did save it for last when putting them back so it could be on top. That way if she wanted to feed em after I left it'd have a chance. If it doesn't look fatter by tomorrow tho I may shelf a few of the others for a few hours so just it'll have be a better shot at milk.
Photo of littlest baby, then comparison to the largest baby. Then a shot of the group pile in the towel I had em covered in while I took out to count. they are all active. Even the littlest one is super active.

 

[DutchBunny03]

Thats awesome! Watch to be sure that they are all getting fed, since the kits greatly outnumber how many a single doe can feed at one time. In such a scenerio, little ones get pushed to the side.Is there any way you could foster out a couple of them? But they all look super healthy.

Congrats!
X2 foster if you can..
wouldn't count on the tiny one making it.
