It is day 30 and still no buns from the NZW doe. she has made 2 nests with only straw and destroyed them both. I tried giving her a tums she smashed it till it fell through her cage floor. After she ripped the nests apart she peed all over the hay.....
Still waiting. :popcorn:
 
It may not be time yet, gestation can be 30 to 33 days with an average of 31 days. Has she ever had a litter before? Hopefully she will deliver tomorrow. :popcorn:
 
Often they show no sign until day 31 or 32 that they are going to do anything. Some don't even pull fur and make a nest until after they have them in the middle of the night. Usually day 35 is when most people cut off waiting and try rebreeding but litters later than that have happened.
 
Yup, I have a litter that was born day 37 right now....patience, grasshopper....:) :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

was she a big rabbit?
This one is from a mom who delivered on day 30 consistently. I *thought* I could go by that. Nope. Today she is just lounging in her cage. She went back to eating tho. No sign of change. guess I should plan for 7 more days.
 
no no popples.... she did bite me while I tried to feed her today tho. If there continues to be no popples in 4-5 more days this wkend we might have a bunny stew.
