What Rabbits Do You Have? Show Off Your Rabbits Here!

Is it really hot out? Are you positive of the date of breeding? It is possible that it was a false pregnancy. If mated and not successful the doe will still go through all the motions of building nest and such. Can you palpulate her and see if you can feel kits?
If you put him on the ground does he
it proper or walk around? Or does he lay back down?
What are they eating? Is poop normal?
Sorry for the questions, it help narrow down possibilities.

It's been 80-90 degrees lately,yes the date is right and she won't let me touch her stomach to palpate,I've put him on the ground in my chicken pen while they free ranged and he still dragged his legs he has ever since I got him,there eating manna pro rabbit pellets(and fruit,rabbit seed bars,hay block,grass,etc,poop is normal,

His do his legs look? Is it possible he experienced some sort of trauma like falling or some such? Does he have hair on the pads of his feet?

How old are they? If the doe went to long she could be to fat to conceive, especially eating fruit and treats in access

Lol Dairygoats, im in North Africa! I moved here two years ago after the war. Most animals have been brought in from various countries to help restore food supply. Wish I could send you one but we have no mail system and shipping takes months. Im slowly learning about what breeds are here cause most are called by looks or where they come from supplier wise. I dont speak much arabic and women dont usually go out alone to buy animals so the men are getting a surprise seeing me wander down the row looking at chick butts and rabbit butts lol. I live on the 3rd floor of the family house so I have rooftop/balcony animals. We are those women with DOGS! We get lots of looks. Also when you consider the money exchange rate im getting them for around 5 US dollars. Feed is 2.50 for 4 pounds, hay a bale is 10 unless you have folks who will let you cut fresh as well as the farmers market men let me have large bags of veggie tops thry cut off produce each time I go. In my albums are photos of my various babies as well as we have a dog, 2 cats and 2 smaller tropical birds. Ive just started my zoo. Oh and round trip tickets would run around 2,000 so those chins would be costly. Check threads by state under Where are You? Im sure someones got some more locally. Best of luck on your critters.

He has fur on his pads,the lady I got it off of doesn't know why his legs are like that, she said he is around 3 years old,lastnight an this morning she was breathing real heavy and fast and is interested in her nest she made and yesterday I gave her a big handful of dry mowed grass and she used it all in her nest along with her fur and straw

As you can see in both pictures of him he is on both back feet but I'm not sure why he drags them. If you wanna see a video of him on my Youtube account just let me know you wanna see it and I'll put my Youtube name on here

If she seems to have gone into labor but is having difficulty you can try giving her raspberry leaves, they help with contractions, if you don't have raspberry blackberry works fine too.

I give my does parsley? I don't exactly know what it does for them, but they seem to like it

Okay so to all you peoples out there who are more intelligent than me!! Can I please get some helpful pointers in pedigreeing my rabbits? My buck is already pedigreed and the doe i am looking into buying and breeding is not pedigreed but I can get a copy of both parent's pedigrees. Can I pedigree her using those? I am also planning on joining the ARBA soon too if that helps. thank you!

People normally give does parsley when trying to get them to abort, its worth a shot if it helps your doe out... http://www.thebackwoodsharehouse.com/herbs--natural-methods.html is a rather good place to go for natural remedies
