Luna is HUGE! Her belly touches the floor, and if you have running-type rabbits, you know that that's a looooong ways. She's due tomorrow. If she doesn't have them, I'm going to squeeze her like a tube of toothpaste.

Kidding. Wouldn't want to damage the babies.

I have a Cal that srsly looks like a fur basketball...today is day 32 and as of this morning she was still crossing her legs.

Holy Moly How many you figure are in there, Cait?

I'm hoping for around sixty-eight, but her line isn't known for having litters that big.

Sooo what, around 48 or so?

Well, dd just called and by her count it Tissy had 7, but 2 did not make it, so 5 live kits, in the nest, covered with a TON of fur. Which is good, because last time she did not pull any! Maybe she will actually feed them this time...

Oh, gosh, I hope more than that! She eats more then forty-eight babies would, she needs to make up for her feed bill!

I still can't get over how big these rabbits are! These are the same ones you were holding in a picture you posted not long ago, correct? The one where you asked if you were raising rabbits, or horses? LOL!

Can't wait to see popple pics!

Shes beuatiful i cant wait too see babies.

She is one pretty doe...

Any babies yet?

Maybe she is going to skip the furless blind stage and have them half grown. She is ready to pop. I bet she Is wishing you would squeeze them out.

Still nothing. I was hoping it would storm last night and the thunder would knock 'em out of her, but nope...

If she still is pregnant at day 34 I'm going to take her to the vet. She's a relative of Pepper, so labor induction might be necessary.

These are ideas on naturally stimulating labor discussed with my midwife, and in my Bradley class that you may want to try before resorting to pitocin:

Pineapple and Balsamic Vinegar- I'm certain Luna would enjoy french bread dipped in balsamic vinegar (who doesn't!?), with a serving of pineapple.

Exercise- we know Luna is just itching for a romp!

Altitude change- this probably wont be of much help in Michigan.

Vibration- some people think bumpy roads may also do the trick.

If none of the above works, patience usually does.


P.S. I can't wait, either! I was hoping for pics!

Poor Luna. Exercise sounds like a good idea. Can't hurt
