Let Your Freak Flag Fly
Hey bunny buddies. So on Friday (3 days ago) I bred my rabbits, Maple and Hops (Amchin) . Maple (NZ) has been a rock solid mom for me. So anyway friday hops gets a good fall off and I assume all is well. Then this morning I give everyone their handful of hay and Maple immediately starts haystacheing and nest building. Uhhh, scuse me girl, it is day 3! lol She is just moving hay around, not pulling hair.
Am I right in thinking this is just her hormones surging, because her pregnancy is starting? Her cage is adjacent to another female and her 4 week old babies, so no risk of "doing it through the bars". Has anyone else's rabbit done this? If so, did they chill after a couple days and have a normal pregnancy? Should I give her a nest box now, let her build it, and then just save it for the birth if she forgets about it in a couple days?
Appreciate any advice
