Okay so Sherbert has insisted on making a nest every single night for over a week, I woke up this morning and she has now started to pull fur. There is no way she is pregnant, although apparently she wants to be. Silly rabbit.
My question is how long can this go on? I just palpated her again to be sure and I felt no babies but she is getting milk. Is this unusual?
Do you think if I found her a baby to foster that she would nurse it?Would that be a good idea? it would allow her to care for a baby, and she obviously wants to be a mom again.
Is there anyway to get her to stop pulling fur and producing milk, Could she get Mastitis from having milk but no baby to nurse?
If you haven't noticed this is the first time she has ever had a false pregnancy, and the first time I've ever been around a rabbit having one. I just don't know what to do. She also hasn't been eating hardly anything, I feed them 1/4 cup in the morning, 1/4 cup at nightand when I go to feed her at night she hasn't eaten allher morning food.
Should I be concerned?
Sorry this is so long, I just have alot of questions.
