labour

[claret]

what is the time period for a rabbit from the start of labour until she delivers. we didnt know our rabbit was pregnant, unfortunatly we only found one baby and it was dead, we have no answers to it all please help..

The first signs will be nest making. The rabbit may start pulling her fur out if there is no suitable bedding. Once she starts to go into labour and has contractions it should not be more than about five minuites before the baby is born.

If she is panting and restless and nothing happens she may have a baby stuck and you should take her to a vet.

She can get pregnant again straight away so if you don't want her to have babies then keep her away from a male. It sounds as though breeding from her may not be a good idea. Either get her or the male neutered.

if she still with a male as lankeela siad they can get pregnant straight away, gestation period is 30-33 days.
