I have a doe mini lop that I have rescued from a neglect home. She is pregnant and starting to nest and pull fur. Is there anyway to tell when she is about to give birth? Thanks
 
She is about to give birth very shortly. If you have a vet, please call and ask their opinion. They are the most qualified to answer you
 
Ok thank you so much Bam Bam!
 
She is starting to bleed out of her "female part". Should I be worried? Does this mean she is about to give birth or is their a problem?
 
Is she going to be ok?
 
Quite likely, yes. Rabbits are pretty good at that. Good luck :)

Keep an eye on her, when she's done check if all kits are in the nest and covered with fur, and offer her unlimited food.
 
Ok thank you
 
Should I be worried if she hasn't gave birth yet? She's only pulled out a little bit of fur so far but the blood kinda has me worried
 
Would start to worry me too. But I have no idea what to do in that case other than wait or see a vet.

Farmers here say that putting the doe to the buck might induce labour when she's due anyway, but well, that imho is wrong on some levels. What I would do is get her moving, nag her to hop around the garden (or whatever place she can move) for 10 minutes now and then.
 
No. Sorry for not replying earlier. We think she was having a false pregnancy, because two months down the line she still didn't have any kits. We don't even think she was bleeding actually. She has this mineral lick in her cage and it drips and so we're pretty sure that's what happened
