well last month my 4 and a bit month old male 'hooch' managed to get in with my 4 month female 'maggie'. the vet said they should be fine as they cant produce anything untill around 6 months. since then i have been reading up lots on the internet and found out they can produce from 12 weeks!! :shock:
on wednesday 25th august i found my maggie had started to make a nest with fur etc, as the days went on i thought this may just be phantom as i read they do this a few days before giving birth. she hasnt put on weight but normally she stamps at me when i clean,brush her and put her in the run but there hasnt been any of this and shes been so gentle, almost like a different bunny.
a week later and there still wasnt anything but today-9 days after she started to nest- i was about to remove the nest (was going to box it up just incase it was needed) but as we were having cuddles i could feel loads of movement in her belly. hubby just thought i was being paranoid but he felt it too. so i have left the nest in with her.
i know what to look out for like the plump bellys and that i will prob never see mum with them (ive searched loads on the net the last few hours ) but im just really worried for her, i feel so helpless xx
