A pregnant doe typically develops a roll of extra fur under her neck, which she then pulls out for her nest. I always watch for the neck roll. A first time momma develops it in the last week or so before birthing. A doe who has had a litter before will have a small roll until that last week, then it will get noticably bigger.
A neck roll huh.... going by neck roll status, I did have the nest box in the wrong cage! We thought we had them all sorted out but they looked so similar when they were little that I've never really been certain if we had them backwards.
Tried to get some pictures... Lighter colored one we thought was the girl, but no neck roll. Darker colored one we thought was the boy but there is a definite neck roll there. I switched the next box to the darker bunny's cage after changing out the straw and adding a bit of Timothy hay. She seemed interested right away and sniffed around and jumped in and out a few times. I'm going down to check again in a bit. Today is day 31 so I certainly hope I have it right this time!
