Day 29 and bleeding doe.

[JayLied]

Hey its my first time having a pregnant rabbit and shes at day 29 and she has been bleeding all yesterday not lots of blood just like drops here and there but has gone on the whole day.
She still feals pregnant and is eating fine but not moving to much.
Any info or help would be awsome

Oh my goodness! I've had that same problem happen! My rabbit is 3 years old but she just bled a lot all at once and just stopped. Her babies felt like they were there but the next day they were gone. I was told she's either going into labor or having a miscarriage. I really hope your bun is just going into labor

Since your doe is already at Day 29, JayLied, I would think she may be about to kindle a bit early. I don't know how this would affect the survival of the kits, but I know of nothing you can do other than give her the nest box with lots of nesting materials and keep a close eye on her. Sometimes there is a bit of blood prior to kindling and it need not signal a dire outcome. Heavy bleeding as in the case of SetskiesD's rabbit is much more alarming.

Well she had them early and eat most of them. No survivers she made a realy nice nest but didnt have them in it but it was her first time.
Shes eating good and moving around good now so she seams healthy.
Just sad no babys. ill give her a good rest period and maybe try again.

Sorry you didn't get a live litter, JayLied, but she will likely do better next time. Don't be concerned that she ate the dead babies--she was just following her instincts to clean up. She built a nest but didn't connect it with kindling--or perhaps the actual births came quickly. Next time she have a better idea of what to expect.
