Is it her first time?

 

[ShellyBear]

Nope, she's had about 5 litters before.

 

[eggbert420]

Does she always start nesting early? Mine are sneaky they will pull hair and a few days later ill find kits.

 

[ShellyBear]

I'm not sure. . . we rescued her but the owner said she has had at least 5 litters. She's perfectly healthy, eats and drinks plenty and is due Easter though. There wasa time where she wasn't even breed and she still made a full blown out nest,

She could be having a false pregnancy, but I've never heard of having a false pregnancy during a real one. Are you sure the breeding took? Try palpating in a couple days, to be sure.

 

[ShellyBear]

Yeah I have also heard of a false pregnancy, she had 3 falls. It will be another 2 to 3 day before I palpate her so we will see. I also have another question, I use shaving for bedding but after cleaning and adding cleaning and adding, the shaving build up. Is there anything I can do. . . ?

One of my rabbit's started on her nest yesterday. I threw some hay in for her today. She instantly started grabbing as much as she could haul in her mouth. She took it straight to her box.

 

[ShellyBear]

Thats what mine did, how along is your doe?

 

[eggbert420]

24 days

 

[ShellyBear]

Oh much further than my girl, but still has around 7 days. . .? So maybe they are just making a nest to get ready
