4 days till babies!!

Nest box goes in tomorrow night!

Last night while feeding, we were feeling Sage's tummy and we think we felt a couple kits!!

 

[minirexmama]

Awesome-I hope it works out for you I'm hoping my does are pg too, but I am so rusty at palpating!

 

[BSAR]

Thanks. I know how ya feel! I can't palpate at all!

 

[Becca]

I can't wait LOL

Good Luck - Hope she has a healthy litter

Yeah I've felt her belly about 4 times now, throughout her pregnancy. Palpated her on the 9th and 11th days and couldn't feel anything. Then again sometime last week, couldn't really feel anything. I also feel for babies kicking, because I've felt that before...I'm actually asking for a stethoscope for Xmas...I've wanted one for so long and it will be awesome to finally get one

When I palpated her yesterday, I just had to put my hand on her abdomen and move it around and I felt a lump that hadn't been there before. I think she's gonna have probably 4 babies...she's tiny though, so I just hope everything works out. I'm sure it will, since Ray is about the same size as her.

can you use a regular stethoscope or do you need a special one for rabbits? like can you use a pediatric one? just wondering. i'm thinking of upgrading my stethoscope. mine is a good one and cost me almost $100 but i'm looking to get a special cardiac one for work. let me know if you don't get one for christmas b/c when i get the one i want i can give you mine. it's a great scope but i need one that i can hear all 4 parts of the heartbeat. with the one i have you only hear the "lub dub".

4 days till babies!



When my sister and I go out to feed the buns in a bit we are going to get the nest box ready and than tonight when we feed the buns we are going to put it in Sage's cage.

 

[BSAR]

3 days till babies!



The nest box went in yesterday! I plan on staying home on Wednesday (its a half day anyway) just in case anything could go wrong. If she has already had the kits than I most likely will be going to school though.

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

Question: How do we keep her from laying in the nestbox and using it as a toilet? She stays in there all day unless she's eating! Sometimes she goes potty outside of the nestbox...

I just dont want her to potty in there when the kits are there; at least she'll already be in there when it's time to give birth, though! lol.

Emily


ETA: I checked the nestbox yesterday, she isn't using it as a toilet. I will be cleaning it out tonight, as well as the front part of her cage, for tomorrow!

 

[BSAR]

Sage is due tomorrow!



I am so excited, execept for the fact that its supposed to snow this weekend. Just the time when I didn't want it to! When we had babies! grr.
