worried to death

[iloveallrabbits]

well the reason why i am so worried is becauselast night about 10:00 i went out to the building where i keep therabbits, well anyways i notice that there was a bunch of fur thatroxanne had pulled, what i have been told is that they do that whenthey are pregnant, but when i went out there this morning there were nobabies, i dont know if she did that last night so she would not have todo it right before she gave birth

Please help me i am so confused!!!

PS

She seemed to be very aggitated last night and this morning.

Doe's pull fur at different times. My doe Fergibuilt her nest days in advance of having her kits. Although most doe'stend to pull right before they give birth I wouldn't worry. Just keepan eye on her.

that was what i was thinking because when she hadher last litter she pulledher fur out a few hours before she had thebabies! so yall think there is nothing to be worried about? my momthinks that she will probably have them tonight or tommorow!

I wouldn't worry too much. Do you know when she was bred? Are you sure that she is pregnant and this isn't a false pregnancy?

If she is over her due date by a few days then I would start to worrythat she is retaining a kit and it isn't able to pass. That would be asituation where you would need to involve a vet.

she has had a buck in her cage for about 4 months now?

Would this be her first litter with this buck or has he "proven" himself already?

Do you know how to palpitate to confirm pregnancy? I am not sure whatelse to say. If she is far along then palpitating her will be of no usefrom what I have read.

Hope someone with more experience will answer this post...I am all out of suggestions!
