Sometimes we have to do things for others that aren't great for ourselves. If you won't do it, would your mum/dad? Could you share it between the three of you? tomorrow I'm havinhg two girls spayed and a buck neutered and will be getting up to check them regularly for the next three nights minimum. Sometimes doing that, is part of being a responsible rabbit owner.

I have found that they usually give birth around 6-10 in the morning. But they can have them at ANY time. Usually its in the morning though.
Oh and you won't hear her making any noises if you are watching her, rabbits don't make noise, if they did, predators would come and killl them and the young.

It's not that I don't want to do it, its that I might not be allowed :? I'd stay up ALL NIGHT with her if I could...

Ya, she might even be preg anyway! How exactly did you breed them like just once? Or did you wait a few hours and breed again? Or something else?

I put them in the run and then Dippy got on and then he 'did stuff' then grunted and fell off then I scooped him up and took him out becuase he kept jumping not jumping but sort of jerking, I'm not sure how to explain it :?

Considering that you only bred he once an she's quite old (for breeding I mean) it's quite possible she's not preg, just have to wait and see!

Have you checked to see if she feels any fatter or if you can see any movement on her sides? Usually - but not always - my lionhead does are a bit fatter and they act different near the end of their pregnancy.
For example - they tend to lay differently - its hard to explain and I don't have a photo of it - but its like they can't get comfortable and they lay...not on their side - but they're all spread out with their legs behind them sometimes...trying to figure out how to get comfortable.
I've had rabbits born anywhere from 11 am - noon and at 7:30 pm....some at 3 am and others at 6 am. Of all the litters I've had - the majority probably had them around 3 am - 5 am but its been amazing. Miss Bea once started nesting at about 3:10 pm - and at 3:45 - after having given me dirty looks as if it was MY fault she didn't nest early enough - she had her babies. I especially remember one litter because Summer had them around 11 am one morning and she had a litter of four. The next day - I checked on them right before Art & I went out to lunch...the four were still healthy. When we came back from lunch - I decided to check on them again...and there was a fifth baby in the nest. So she'd had four one day at around 11 am and then the next day - around 11 am to noonish - she had another one.
I figured out once that I had over 75 litters...and honestly...there were so many differences. I think about 5 times - maybe more - I had a mama have another baby up to 24 hours after the first bunch were born.
I say all this to say...."expect the unexpected"...:biggrin2:

Sandy was the same. She always looked uncomfy (not surprising, she was carrying a large army), and she seemed to try to lay with her feet under her but a bit on either side.

Thanks for all the replys guys, I don't really see her laying down becuase whenever we go in she's hiding in her other bit and then comes out to see us so I'm not sure, I will try and have a look though
