My bunny is officially 33 days pregnant. I'm a little worried because she still hasnt had her babies yet. 2 days ago she frantically stating making a nest and panting and breathing really hard. She also pulled her fur out. I thought she was going to have them then but still hasnt. It's not a false pregnancy because you can feel the babies in her belly. Any help?
 
She may need to be taken to a vet, I think pregnancy can last 35 days maximum and then there is a chance there's something wrong and she'll need medical intervention.


Keeping my fingers crossed for you
 
I would take her to the vet he may be able to give her something to induce pregnancy.
Edit: I meant to induce labor lol
 
Right, many does don't go near the nest when they feel watched, they are prey animals after all. Best thing to do is to give her food, rest and privacy. Also, it can take up to 24h (in rather rare cases even longer) for the milk to drop, no problem when the kits are in a dry, warm nest, check that, and remkove soiled or wet hay.
 
Mother rabbits usually only go in to see their babies when it's time to nurse, and that only happens usually once or twice a day. If they are getting fed they should have nice round bellies. Almost looks like they swallowed a ping pong. You'll usually see a white splotch from the belly being full of milk. She will nurse them usually in the early morning or late evening, and it should happen within the first 24-36 hours. If not you may need to intervene or they will get dehydrated and weak.
