hmm...So I felt Rosie today again. def some babies in there...past owners had her housed with the male for a month...not sure when she got pregnant....So when should I give her a nest box?

 

[cluckcrazy]

Probably pretty soon... The babies will probably all be dead, because rabbits can carry two litters at one time.

oh man why would they all be dead though?

How long have you had her for? You could always put a nestbox in there and just keep an eye on it making sure she's not turning it into a litter box.

If there is a gap between matings, both litters will be harmed as one will be premature and the other may be late. The parent's safety and health is of the utmost importance. Most does won't accept service again after being bred, but there are about 20 percent who will and can become impregnated again carrying MULTIPLE PREGNANCIES! Female rabbits have two horns of the uterus which allows her to carry one pregnancy on one side and another on the other. If the breedings are more than three days apart, she will likely lose all the babies because they won't develop at the same rate or may be malnourished.

Where did you get her from?



Hope this helps!

I have only had her 3 days. I will put one in tomorrow.

Me too.

Keeping my fingers crossed. I'm sorry about the weird color and size. I don't know how that happened.

It's okay haha. and yes let's hope fore the best!

I will put some straw in a shoe box for her. she has been very lazy and not moving very much. so that's what made me think of it at first. the first time I felt her they felt more like blueberries but now they feel more like grapes. I'll feel her again in another week to see how she is.

Be careful with a shoebox, my doe tore any box apart that I ever placed in her cage. I would use something more durable and something that she can't easily tip over by hopping in and out of it. Just my opinion.
