Rabbit people!!! Info needed!! Please!!!! *UPDATED*

[ChickenPrnces]

just read your whole thread
they are probably breathing hard because you brought them in. it's like going to grandma's house that is like 80 drgrees with a ski parker on. it has been single digits here.
dr smiley in Auburn treats rabbits.
the babies may not be moving because they have grown so much that there is no room left in there.
your count may be a little off.
it would seem unlikely that both would be having delivery problems,especially the experienced mom.
how large is the buck compared to the doe?

Thumper is a touch bigger than Spots and a touch smaller than Pearl!

sounds like you have gotten some good advice
share some of the raspberry tea and tums. then take a couple of deep breaths.
as much as I hate to say it, we are not vets, there is only so much we can do. if you have anything with electrolites in it give it to the girls. gatorade would work. if it was earlier I would send you to the drug store for some non flavored pedealite (not sure I spelled that right).

Would chicken vitamins and electrolyte powder work!? It's the yellow pack that you can get at the feed store!

Rabbits normally go 32 days. Sometimes they will go 35. Are they eating at all? What do their droppings look like? What are you feeding them? From your description it is unusual for them to lie around like that. Might possibly GI stasis(gas). usually its a sign of it when the rabbit lies down in an odd position.

They eat 16% protein rabbit pellets and romaine lettuce! The last few days they have barely eaten the pellets though! They only want their lettuce and parsley!

raspberry tea will do very little induce labor. Offer them some raspberry leaves, if oyu can. They have a natural stimulant for labor. I have offered them to mine who have had stuck litter. Other then that, call around to your vets to see if they will sell you a shot of oxytosin for them. ESP if they don't have them by day 35. Id also get them checked for GI stasis too.

Remove the lettuce. that might be the reason why they won't touch their pellets. Lettuce will cause them to get gassy. Keep giving them the parsley. Why do their poops look like? do they have hay?

Their poops are normal and hard little balls! They have hay all the time in both the hutch and their cages inside! They actually do eat all of it!

you may be precise with the dates but mother nature has a say in it too

I hope so MCM! I am usually so precise with dates that I am hoping my brain went dead when I filled in the calendar that week and i'm panicking for nothing!

 

[chinbunny2]

The normal poops are a good sign. Keep giving them the hay. Their appetites may be a little off from being so close to having their babies. you'll just have ot be patient. They will have them when they are ready.

electrolyte powder would work just as well. I had a discussion with a druggest about that
