Young Bun
soo sorry, in panic mode at the moment, i'll try say this not too quick so y'all can understand me :lol:

so my bunny is pregnant, I think it's about, gee half a week till she's due to have her babies maybe?

anyway, she's at the stage where she's pulling out her fur, and that's really really good! but she was running around with it and eventually dropped it near the end of a little towel burrow she made in a cupboard right next to the toilet door.

Right now I put her in her bedroom with some fresh food, and I also put the fur in her nesting box, I was wondering if that was the right thing to do, now I'm all paranoid it has my scent on it and blah blah :shock:
I put sheets all around her bedroom so it's quite dark and safe for her, so I'm just thinking...

what do I do now? :D
 
nothing much you can do except giving her plenty of nesting supplies such as hay. and let nature take its course and only interfere if she appears to be having problems during birth such as; struggling to push baby out. make sure you have an emergancy vet number as well if problems do occur during birth she will need to see a vet asap!

can i ask was this planned or accidental? dont worry im not going to have a go at you or anything
 
well, that's a bit of a mess of a situation, that of which I don't want to bring into this thread as i've already had an earful already :p
but I have known about the pregnancy basically since she got pregnant, basically it goes
"is she male? where to put her? stray rabbit...male rabbit"

also the vet we take our animals to is open 24/7, and it's particulary close.

I might run to the garage and get some more hay for her.

cheeers for the advice. :wave:
 
:wave: Can you describe what you are defining as her bedroom? Then we might have a better picture of where it would be safest to let her be.

I'm not aware of the situation which led to this - but only to say that if the male rabbit is still around, please make sure that he is nowhere near the female even now, as she will most likely give birth when you are not around and he can get her pregnant again within a couple of hours of her giving birth! Please forgive me if you already know and have done this, just thought better safe than sorry to let you know!
 
yeap he's not around, I seperated them a while back.
