Question
pregnant rabbit like snowflake
pregnant rabbit like s  
QUESTION: she eats a 6x20cm container of food each night she has been in the nesting area mainly all day without coming out only to get a drink and her food which is pellets, hay grass dried carrots and other stuff. shes been eating a little bit of wood is that good or bad? every time i go to feed her she bites me and every day i have to give her more hay. i brought her a water drip thing 1 for her and a smaller 1 for her kittens but she doesn't seem to use it. i really hope she has THEM SOON BECAUSE I REALLY CANT WAIT TO MUCH LONGER LOL i have the father of her litter with another little boy and they don't fight at all so thats good but do u think her litter will turn out good or do u think they will die or she'll eat them? plz get bak to me soon and ill tell u how shes going tonight or tomorrow morning. shes this colour with pink eyes but shes lop eared a bit more fatter and alot cuter (this isnt her)

ANSWER: Hi Hope. There is no way to tell how her litter will turn out at this time. Some does are real good mothers and some are not. Can you feel the babies moving in your does tummy when you put your hands firmly on her sides on the inside of her himd legs. If you can feel them rolling and kicking you should not have to wait much longer.  Pat

QUESTION: sometimes i can but shes got really really big nipples and she bites me really hardly how long do u think she has left? because shes only like 3 and a half or 4 months old how many do u think she'll have. i cleaned out her hutch and put in some more hay please wright back ASAP

Answer
Hi Hope. I'm glad you cleaned out the hutch. I don't understand when you say she has really big nipples. Does do not normaly have really big nipples. Are you sure you don't have something else going on? This concernes me that all is not as it is supposed to be. Can you have your bunny checked by a vet?   Pat
