This is so informative! Wish I knew some of the things you mentioned when my rabbit gave birth some years back. She lost two kits. Things may have turned out differently! Thank you for sharing the lessons you learned!🙏🏻
I keep my nest inside my home with lots of blankets around and under the nest box ( that is a god bed ) I did not loose any kits and it's been 2 weeks since they were born. And yes, the best is to spay and neuter of course. I did not breed on purpose it just happened. I didn't knew I had a male and a female because I rescued the male not knowing his gender.
Hi, my doe is pregnant since 35 days, but hasn’t shown any signs of contractions, or delivery, she also nested (collected hay) after 7 days of breeding, and thereafter nothing. I did feel the babies moving inside of her everyday. What to do now? Pls help
Oh dear. Are you sure it’s been 35 days? Sometimes a young rabbit will have a phantom pregnancy after initial mating and build a nest prematurely. She can then mate with the buck again and get really pregnant a few days later, which can make her pregnancy seem longer than 30 days. It is rare for a rabbit to not give birth after gestation. If she seems normal, just keep her healthy - feed her lots of alfalfa hay, pellets and water to help her grow healthy babies. If she starts pulling fur, she is very close to giving birth. Pulling fur after nesting is a strong indication that she is hours away from giving birth. At this point, it is best to observe her closely for any signs of stress, fatigue or discomfort and bring her to the Vet immediately if you suspect anything wrong.
@@popcornash9903 thanks, but we don’t have a buck in the house, got one on 23rd March for a few hours. Thereafter, I could see and feel her babies moving in her tummy around the 15th or 20th of this month. She’s quite active and fine, the only thing is she’s not delivering, neither pulling out her hair or nesting
Maybe give it a few more days. I read somewhere that gestation period can be 2-5 days longer for certain rabbit breeds. If you’re sure she’s pregnant, I’m hoping she pulls fur soon to let you know when delivery is near. Then you can check her nesting area again. Hopefully she hasn’t used it as a litterbox. If she has, you’ll need to clean it and replace the soiled hay with fresh hay as the urine will carry bacteria that will harm the babies. Please let me know how it works out. I’m hopeful that it will all work out!😊
Thanks, Gracelyn! It is so sad. I miss the baby bunnies, especially Faith. We were shocked that this happened to Popcorn’s second litter. I guess the births were too close together. The second litter was an accident. Vet says it can happen if you don’t separate the mom and dad right after she gives birth. Ash was separated a day after she gave birth and neutered three days after that. Rabbits get pregnant really fast!
I know. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing to my channel. I hope you can invite your friends to watch and subscribe too, especially those with bunnies!😆 Have a good week!
You Should let the runts die off naturally As nature intended ensuring The Only Strongest Survive. The 🥜 peanut’s, The very Small one’s Never Survive And just Take Up Milk from The Other’s. I Weed them out After a few day’s if they’re Not Growing, feed them to my Chicken’s as a Treat.
Yes, it seems logical to let nature take its course. But when your bunnies become part of the family, it’s hard to not even try. Faith lasted as long as she did in spite of the circumstances. It seemed only right to give her a chance and to do all we could to help her survive. You never know. Sometimes, you just need a little faith for miracles to happen.💗
Our cage is always open and our rabbits are all free roam unless spayed (then they are placed in an xpen for 8 months). But i wish we had checked on the kits more often. The burrow our mommy bunny built was too deep and the kits were laying too close to the bottom. We didn’t think it would be a problem since her first accidental litter was fine. But this experience taught us not to assume anything. There’s not much info out there for bunny owners with accidental litters, so we are hoping this helps address concerns often raised by bunny owners in the same boat.
Sorry for your loss little girl

Kits are boren Def and blind
you are the one keeping them in cages so you could at least make sure they are warm.

It's sad when pets die. 😥🐰
