I would guess around 3 to 4 weeks ago. I thought I felt lumps moving around in there but maybe it was her digestive tract moving, because I could'nt feel anything last night or today.

Well it turns out our doe Petunia isn't pregnant, I guess it was just peristalsis :/. I checked her vent and our other does vent and they are both very pale like an almost whitish pink, does that mean that they are not in heat or open to recieve the buck? I want some babies, not having any luck...

Oh that's disappointing thinking they were all pregnant! I seen our buck mated our doe twice almost a month ago but I see the rolling and was thinking its the babies moving then I read about peristalsis :/. When I feel her belly it feels like lumps moving around in there though, I'm really...

I've been looking into peristalsis in rabbits vs kits moving in the belly. If a rabbit has peristalsis going on and you placed your hand on the tummy would you feel lumps moving around or is that in fact kits that your feeling in there?

Thank you Miss M! I was just now feeling her tummy again and I definitley feel little kits in there, I am so excited, I just can't wait! I just hope all goes well when she kindles.

Thank you for all the replies guys! I am very excited! I gave her some extra hay today she has'nt had a haystache going on yet or done any nesting or fur pulling, she has been diggin at the corner of the cage some though. I have read that sometimes the belly just moves too, but I felt little...

I suspected that our buck Thumper successfully mated with our Petunia in our outside colony (usually they would have their babies in a burrow, but we seem to loose the babies all the time :cry: ). So I brought Petunia inside 2 days ago and today as she was laying down almost on her side I could...

Thanks so much for your help I will keep posted...hopefully I'll see some beautiful babies hopping out in a few weeks! :)

Yes I'll definitely have it to where they can get to the kits, is it possible for two does to use the same burrow, it seems like at night time one goes in for a bit and then when she comes out the other goes in. It's calling for scattered thunderstorms this weekend...I would much rather not...

Thanks Mama sheepdog, I have extra tarp would that work?? I seriously thought about digging them up carefully and putting them in a nest box but that's not a good idea is it?

Well I guess they were pregnant after al!! A burrow was dug and they pushed dirt back over it for about a day, but then left it uncovered. I tried to look in there with a flashlight with no luck cause their burrow has a curve and I can't see around it :/. It's supposed to rain in 2 days what...

I don't think so, I palpatated their tummys gently like I've done before and have'nt felt any marbles in there.
