Yesterday morning around 10, I noticed she started breathing very rapidly. By 2 pm she was building her nest. She's been laying on her stomach with her legs kicked out and she was drooling mildly. No discharge and she isn't acting too different though, eyes aren't glazed over. Thought she'd have her kits last night but didn't pull fur or have them, is the heavy breathing part of the actual labor or just because she's so pregnant? None of my other pregnant does or any of my other rabbits have been panting so hard, last I noticed this was a sign for labor. How long should I observe this before it becomes a concern? Thanks!IMG_20211115_161013772.jpg
 
That seems normal to me. I have noticed nest building up to a week before kindling... Then a lot of lying around with heavy panting, then my does will pull fur the night they kindle. So far all of my litters have been born at night. 🤷🏼‍♀️
