Hi
I just started breeding lionhead rabbits and I've had several sucsessfull litters from my first doe. My younger doe gave birth today to two still born babies ( this doesn't suprize me she is small and it's her first litter) they were fully developed and normal sized though they might have been a little long. Any way she had them around noon so I removed them from her box. She seemed to have finished labor and had a snack and some water. Around 1 I removed her nest box. And around 5 she started to pull more fur and was building a nest on the wire. Could she still have a baby inside her or is it instict kicking in? Any clues, I would love some help
Thanks!

I think she may not be done . Im sure some of the more experienced breeders will respond soon, but from what I have learned here on the forum I think she could still be in labor.

If she were mi e I would leave nest with her for another day or two just in case. It will not hurt anything and I would rather be safe than sorry.
