I'm new to rabbit breeding. Just got my setup and rabbits last week. Got 1 buck Flemish and 2 doe New Zealand. Both of my does are already pregnant. Previous owner told me the one doe would be ready mid week this past week. Still no babies and she's not even pulling any of her hair out. Should I be worried?? That's my first question. Second question is..... My other doe is also pregnant and not suppose to be ready til the first couple days of June. She started to pull her fur out 2 days ago and I wasn't ready for that because I didn't have her nesting box in. Wasn't able to put the box in til the next morning so I just put some straw in til the morning. When I woke the next morning she had a big pile of fur in the straw. I moved the straw and fur gently and put it in the nesting box. Now she will not even come close to the box. Did I mess up her nest by touching it? And she not due for at least another 7-8 days and she's already pulling her fur out. I didn't think they did that til a day or two before.
I'll take any help or suggestions anyone has to offer. I've done a lot of reading on breeding rabbits but remember I'm very new to this. Thanks for the help.
