My doe wont give birth

No, you cannot induce labor in a rabbit. Any attempt to do so may result in a ruptured cervix, which would most likely be a death sentence.

Let her be, she may just be switching it up on you lol. They like to deliver in the peace and quiet. I wouldn't worry too much unless she is pushing and struggling for more than an hour straight. good luck!

Ok thanks!

I pray she has a safe delivery and healthy kits and momma!

Update: She finally went into labor, she wouldn't let me get a good look of the babies, but I think I only say one. Do you think she will have more later? She left the nesting box and was hoping around the cadge.

You might want to leave her alone. She may not like having anyone there -- may disturb her. It's that predator thing.

 

[Animal Person]

She let me look in the nest there was only one, and I am pretty sure it died.

I'm sorry, but one large, single baby seldom survives the birth process - it just takes too long. Have you checked to be sure she is done?

 

[Animal Person]

I'm not sure how to check to see if she's gone. I'm trying to revive the one baby with heat. I heard it works. Please help if there are any other ideas!!

He's not stiff

Sometimes rubbing it gently will but it is very difficult to help them. I'm so sorry for the loss.
