Question
My rabbit has bn pregnant for 35 days now and she hasnt had the babies when she was 2 wks pregnant she had a scan and they saw 3 in there and today i saw the babies moving around but she hasnt had them any idea y? thanks

Answer
Belinda, I do two things when this happens

first I give the doe a good handful of fresh parsley and wait 3 hours.  If nothing happens I put her with a buck - sometimes mating will provoke kindling.  If this does not work in one hour I would take her to a vet because most likely she has a fetal giant stuck in the birth canal.
