I'm concerned about one of my New Zealand Red does, she is currently on 35 days gestation (she has pulled fur and and I can feel babies, she is also a proven breeder). I had another rabbit several years ago that went to 37 day gestation by memory and delivered 1 very large 'DOA' fully furred kit. I'm worried the doe might have trouble or babies won't be alive.
 
Update. She had 1 single baby yesterday (day 37) and as expected the kit was a Very Large DOA and furred. At least mum is ok.
 
Was the sire of this litter the same as the previous litter that was really late with one DOA?
 
Hi Hotzcatz, no the previous litter with the DOA were completely different rabbits from a few years ago which were NZW x Flemish.
