Kit countdown begins(any time now) ...nest box in!!

[Flemishstar]

Well im at the home stretch of my agonizing journey, I had an earlier post but now that im close I figure I will start a count down with pics...My back story is I bought a 16lb FG (non papered)Doe June 1st and had her Bred before I picked her up, over a 4 hour period go a papered sandy 25lb papered buck, My dilemma (if you can call it that) is I hate palpating cause Im scared to squish her and I cant feel anything significant, and I cant tell if shes bred or not, although she has gained weight from what I can see but I dont know if it is because Ive been feeding her a little extra and/or more than the person I got her from, If I had to bet I would say shes preg, when shes eating and I feel her sides below her ribs her tummy hangs out and is hard, not saggy, This is the first time I havent been able to tell mostly cause Ive never had a FG shes so long that they could very well be lined up in there un noticed lol here is a pic I took of her yesterday which is her 3 week mark.

Her name is Panda and such a sweet girl

Do you know what she's mixed with? She sure is pretty I hope she give you a great big pile of popples!

 

[Flemishstar]

Thanks, No clue she def is mostly flemish, I wonder what else?...shes 16 lbs almost 3 ft long when she lays down lol, I cant tell is shes preg, but I think so when I touch her stomach she shes laying down i feel lumpy thing in there?? what do you think she could be mixed with, Im not good on genetics, but flemish throw solids, so maybe shes a checkered giant mix??<br /><br />__________ Mon Jun 24, 2013 8:13 pm __________<br /><br />Does she look preg to you?

 

[HoppinHalfPints]

Rabbits don't tend to show that they are pregnant like humans do. If you can feel lumps, almost like marbles, than she is probably pregnant. If you can't feel anything, than she is most likely not pregnant.


Good luck!

 

[Flemishstar]

Thanks....lol..Ill soon find out,,,I feel bad its so hot out for them! hopefully shell have a few ....If not it'll have to wait until it cools down

Its so hot today, I feel bad, She hates frozen bottles.... so I wet her ears, and left the bottle in her hutch anyway....would there be a change in her "area" before kindling?` hers looks normal and pink...

In few more months she will be mated to a FG male.
You will have 8 this weekend.
