New Kit
I have two beautiful rabbits one a mini-lop and one a holldand lop. I adopted them both in August and was told they were both female. Over christmas break they began to go through hormonal changes and about two weeks ago I separated them because I noticed our holland lop was indeed a male as the testicles had dropped. Since then our female last Saturday once the mail was removed took all the hay I gave her and built a nest however no babies. Since then she has rearranged the hay but never once bunched it up in her mouth like she did the first day. As of today I cleaned her cage up as it needed much help. Added fresh timothy hay and she continues to eat and drink large amounts. She has't nested in nearly a week. As I read more and more online I'm thinking each rabbit pregnancy is different I am wondering if she nested early. She has remained gentle, she only grunts (new behavior) when I put my hand in her cage to clean up wet hay or her poo mound in the corner. She still lets me pet her etc. She digs incessantly all night long. She has gained some weight and doubled her water intake. I did try to palpitate her but not knowing when she became pregnant I was careful and decided to wait. I have our male scheduled for a neuter in a week. I counted 30 days out knowing that if she doesn't have kits by the 22nd of Feb. then maybe this is a phantom pregnancy?? anyways any advice would be appreciated. Hope this info helps.
