sooz22 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I just got a call from my partner to let me know that our rescue rabbit appears to be nest building. From previous experience I know that if she starts to pull fur she will probably go into labour tonight. I am stuck at work til 12am and desperate to see her give birth, has anyone else witnessed the miracle of life with their animals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baileys_mum Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Yes the new additions. I missed the fist but saw the last 1/2 of the second but omg the afterbirth is bleugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sooz22 Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 Slightly disgusting question but did the mother eat it? I read that they take lots of nutrients from it. Which is totally gross but such is nature. Lol:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baileys_mum Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Yes they do eat it, all of it, bleugh! It apparently helps them with milk production Im off to muck em all out and bath all but the babies, picks to follow for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyBunny Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 aww Sooz. But just think, when you get home there will be a few babies waiting (and you'll have to wait about a week to see them ) I bet its an amazing thing to view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sooz22 Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 I was just thinking that at least if I saw them born I could count them! It took ten days last time before we knew how many we had! Once they are tucked away in the nest thats it for 10-14 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
