No reason to stress. She will most likely be fine. Is this her first litter?

yes I think so. :bunnyhop:

 

[AmberRae]

Just keep an eye on her. If she doesn't make a nest and have the babies in it then make her one and put her babies in there. The first 24 hours the biggest thing is to just keep them warm. Is this your first litter?

 

[Blueeyedrex]

ya it is, im doing so much reaserch right know. :x :x

 

[AmberRae]

Congratulations and I know the how the anticipation feels. It gets a little better after you have had a few litters but it's always there. Let us know once she has them.

 

[Marinea]

If she is sitting in and soiling her nest box, you might want to consider moving it to keep her from urinating on her kits when they come. Also, check the hay in the box to make sure it is still clean before she kindles.

Good luck!

I had a first time mom that loved to sit in her nest box....
Like Marinea said, check and make sure she isn't using it as a litter box .... but other than that, not a problem....

By the way, my nurvious doe had a litter of 8 and is doing great, but she still likes to hang out in the nest box... babies are all fat and healthy and at 2 weeks are exploring outside the box while mom hangs out there to get away from them sometimes....lol :lol:

Hey she has had 3 so far it is 2:00 exactly but no placenta yet so mabe some more, she did pluck fur but at the very very last minute.
thank you so much for your help

 

[SableSteel]

Congrats.

Rabbits have a placenta for each baby, and then they usually eat them (the placentas) immediately after birth, so in an ideal kindling, you don't even see any placentas. 3 is a pretty normal size for a dwarf breed litter (and mini rexes are a dwarf breed)

I honestly now dont think it is her 1st litter and what day is it ok for me to pick up the babies honstly they freak me out.
and how big should mini rex babies be newborn.

 

[LittleFluffyBunnies]

I'm not exactly sure the size in measurement, but my small breed kits are around finger length when born. A peanut you can tell the difference as they are usually half the size of the others, with super tiny ears, bulging eyes, and sometimes funny shaped bodies.

You can touch them now, it's important to make sure they look healthy. Just wash your hands well and dry completely beforehand. I think I read you recently bought this doe, so for an extra safety measure rub your hands over her first so your hands get her scent. The doe won't mind you handling them, especially if she gets her favorite food or treat while you do it.

thank you, it was so awesome to watch her pull fur at the very last second, she gave birth at about 2:00 i dont think there are any peanuts. i think i alredy see 2 BEW mini rexs so exciting, and one with the exact same markings as her, at what age should i seperate her from the kits.

 

[AmberRae]

Congrats !!! So exciting !!! I usually keep my mini rexes with their mom till about 5 weeks old.

Hi so she had three pretty babies at 2:00am :shock: it is now 12:00am and she looks still fat and she is hiding in another box i gave her, I checked on the babys all good. She did manage to pull fur litterly 4 mins before she had them. :bunnyhop:

(Maybe now you'll be able to relax and enjoy your rabbits.)

hi um it is 7:45 and she hasnt fed them yet. <br /><br /> -- Thu Jun 01, 2017 6:48 pm -- <br /><br /> 3 or 4 hours ago i checked and they where fine but idk

 

[MaggieJ]

Iris may not have her milk yet. Rabbits only feed their kits once or twice a day and they usually try to do it when no one is looking. Have you looked at the kits' tummies? This thread might be helpful:
