Help!!! I don’t have straw for my rabbits nestbox!!!

[BunnyCrazy]

My Mini Lop doe is due to kindle in a few days and today I’m putting in the nestbox. I’ve been trying to get a bale of straw but I haven’t been able to and won’t be able to until after she kindles!! (It’s complicated) Should I just like it with alfalfa hay? I’m worried that she’ll eat it instead of making a nest Is there something else around the house that I could use? Thanks you guys

Okay.... my mom came through and saved me, lol. I got a bale of oat hay and now my doe is good to go!

Sorry nobody got back to you! How is she doing? Are the babies okay? Can you send some pictures?

 

[BunnyCrazy]

She is doing ok She has not kindled yet but she looks ready to explode! She has made her nest and lined it with fur and seems ready but still no babies... I don't have any current pictures but there are some older pictures of her on my bunny blog her name is Patty

 

[Mariam+Theo]

I hope she does good kindling! When the babies are here please send some pictures! I'm absolutely obsessed with baby rabbits!

 

[BunnyCrazy]

Okay I know what you mean...baby rabbits are so perfect and tiny and special and-I'm gonna stop here, lol.

This is Patty, sitting in her nest... I took the image today, still no babies

It's fine for them to use whatever hay/straw is available. It doesn't have to be a particular type, as long as it's clean and dry it's good.

Patty’s kits were born this morning!!! There are seven and they all seem healthy except for one who is very tiny and skinny... I will try to post pictures later

 

[Mariam+Theo]

Congrats on the new litter! I hope the little one will eat more soon.

 

[BunnyCrazy]

Thanks The little one seemed a lot stronger this morning I brought the mama in and held her so he/she could eat some more and he/she seemed a lot stronger after that The rest of the kits are fine and already look bigger! They grow sooo fast! I haven't been able to get any pictures yet but I will soon!

My house rabbit had a litter today, she only started pulling out fur minutes before she gave birth. I didn’t even know she was pregnant. We now have 4 dear little bunnies.

Can’t wait to see pictures!
