It definitely sounds like she is ready! Our girls have tended towards giving birth during the night and the wee hours of the morning. I've been thinking about Oreo a lot lately too, and dearly hope that delivery goes smoothly and that the little ones will make their appearance before the end of...

Ah, the last days of pregnancy! Those can be some of the most nervous days in owning a bunny. It's good that you separated the pregnant doe from the others. Not only will they harass her, she can potentially harm them as well. Pregnant does are extremely territorial. They feel that if you are...

All of our mama's have started to get irritated with their babies by that 2 week mark or so. They think that the babies should just stay in the box, and having them suddenly mobile feels like a complete loss of control for them. I've even seen one of our mommy bunnies try to nudge one of her...

Thank you everyone for your condolences. Thirteen was a beautiful, adventurous, happy little guy. We may never know the exact events that led to his death, but can only hope that he went quickly. We frequently use cardboard boxes with our bunnies, and the lean-to had been an attempt at...

Glad to hear Oreo is doing ok! Sometimes some of our girls have had "heavy breathing" moments, and usually it happens when they are uncomfortable or angry. Hopefully Oreo is just experiencing some discomfort from being so close to her due date! :)

I'm very sad to announce the death of one of our 10 week old babies. He never really had a name, since I was trying not to get too attached to him, knowing that he would have to be adopted. I affectionately nicknamed him " Thirteen", after his number on the adoption listing I posted in the...

Depending on the rabbit, that should be fine. You want something that she can stand in to nurse the babies and feel secure, but not something that is so large she wants to lounge in it or use it as a new litter box. We have used medium sized cardboard boxes with our girls when they had babies...

I agree that there might be a little reaction, but nothing too major. The thing that gets our bunnies freaked out is brooms. You could be sweeping up some random poop on the other side of the room and it would cause a mini stampede. :P I think that they are mostly upset with the vacuum because...

Please do put the female in the hutch, and don't let the male near her. We found out the hard way that it is a VERY bad idea to let the male be near the female when you are unsure if she is pregnant or when she is due. Our first rabbits, Fred & Ethel had their first litter on 1 Nov 2011. We...

It sounds like she is doing well! Begging for yummy lettuce is always a good sign. :) It is a bit early to tell by feel right now. We have never felt them that early, and it could be that it's harder to tell because of their (dwarf bunnies) size. When she starts getting into her 3rd week, it...

This obviously is an extremely upsetting situation. Just reading about it made me feel heart sick. First of all, I strongly suggest bringing the pregnant female indoors for observation. It may just be that her system is extremely stressed from the heat and dehydration, but I must strongly...

I'm glad to help Maria! If you ever need any advice during Oreo's pregnancy or about any other wacky behavior, feel free to ask! I'm sure Bugsy and Oreo will make beautiful babies. It will be interesting to see how the cuteness of a Mini Rex will mix with a Mini Lop. Our Mini Rex mommy bunnies...

Welcome! Glad to meet another local member! I'm located in Rock Hill, South Carolina, just 30 minutes south of Charlotte. We raise Mini Rex's, a dwarf breed. We actually have babies up for adoption right now, so if you change your mind about having giant rabbits and want some cute more...

Hi Madison! Sorry if there was a misunderstanding. The mother bunnies had 22 babies total, not each. Augusta had 5, Luna had 6, Nova had 3, Ramona had 6, and Dora had 2. Unfortunately Dora did not want to care for her babies, and we had to give them to Nova to raise. The babies were larger than...

Welcome to the forum! Such sweet looking bunnies!

I have Mini Rex's too! :D It depends on the rabbit, and their age, but generally a rabbit can handle temperatures around freezing (32 F). Whenever it has started to get below freezing we bring them inside. Keep wind chill in mind however! It can make things feel a lot colder for them! I have...
