Fluffball's Possible Pregnancy Diary

[Flashy]

Yes, that is what Rennies are. I just wondered whether or not it was relevant.

In terms of the raspberry leaves, someone along the way told me they strengthen the uterus (or else I misunderstood and that was not what they were saying at all-very possible), which is why I mentioned it because I figured she would need the strongest uterus possible to push them out. However, given that's not the case, it was an irrelevant point.

Raspberry leaves do strengthen the uterus, but it can induce contractions. Not something you want to start too early. Especially if it isn't part of her regular diet. I've fed raspberry leave to does before they are bred.

Thanks for clarifying that

Fluffball's never had raspberry leaves before :? When/If she's given birth shall I give her a little bit?

And I shall put the nest box in tonight (10th)

You knew that was a risk from the begining. We are all praying if she is that everything will go smoothly.

This might sound mean, but I don't mean it that way. It's good you are nervous and aware of all the potential risks, and have taken on board the risks, because that means that you can be aware if things start to go wrong, giving her, and any possible kits, the best chance possible.

But I'm going to be inside, in bed What do I do?

 

[Flashy]

I would suggest she needs regular checks, but the whole process is so quick when it goes right that and all of mine have gone during the morning, so it may happen while you are not asleep, it may happen in the evening, before you go to bed, or maybe before your parents go to bed. If it were me I would be checking her over the 30-31 day night (if that makes sense), so Wednesday night. Not so much that she gets unsettled, but enough for you to know she is doing ok. Also write down the emergency vets number somewhere visible so that if something happens you know where it is and what to do.

 

[BlueGiants]

You can check on her every few hours, but honestly, there is very little you can do for her at this point. Either everything goes well.... or it doesn't.

You made the decision to breed her... whatever happens... happens. And you will deal with whatever the outcome. Let's hope it's a good one.

Would your parents let her in just for the week?

No mum's allergic :grumpy:

 

[irishbunny]

Gah! I hope everything goes well!, I would check her every 2 hours at least during the nights of the 30-31.

 

[Becca]

Then I would have to keep waking up in the middle of the night and will be too tired to do school properly, :grumpy: UGGG I wished I'd worked it out so it was on a weekend :shock:

 

[irishbunny]

Ya, but if you don't then something could go wrong, she could have the babies outside the nest and they would die or you could wake up to a dead Fluffball
