Question
hi again, my belgian hare still hasn't had her babies. she is definitely not distressed, her breathing seems normal and shes acting normal. is there any chance she could be having a false pregnancy even though she was with the male and is still showing signs of pregnancy on her 34th day? her vagina is still redder than normal and i'm sure i can see her babies moving. otherwise the only thing i can think of is i got the dates of her mating mixed up. shall i leave her another day and take her to the vets? and is there anything i can do to bring on labour or make her feel relaxed enough to have them?

Answer
hi natalie there is nothing you can do to help her -leave her another 24 hrs and see what happens then get her checked over.they normally pluck fur off the chest 24 hrs prior to birth.
it could be a phantom but from what youhave told me I dont think so.
