TONIGHT???

Question
I haven't any real children.  Just my bun Ashanti.  TONIGHT!  OMG!!!  Does she need any help???  Should I keep her in the cage and not let her out or what????  And rolled oats, what is that?  I've been putting oatmeal in her food the past two weeks.  Is that the same as rolled oats???  Should I stay up all night in case something happens???

Answer
Calm down, calm down Heather - you are going to make Ashanti nervous !!!  Your making ME nervous !!!

No help, except maybe putting the kits in the nest when she is done.  Yes, oatmeal - the kind you cook for breakfast is rolled oats.  Is she fat ?  Usually rolled oats are not given to a bun unless she is lactating - or it makes her fat - which is not a good thing.

If she is not used to being locked up in the cage you would stress her if you did.  Right now you don't want to stress her at all.

Birthing takes all of 5 minutes usually.  You will turn around and there will be a bunch of wiggling wee bits of bunnies under your futon.  LOL !!!  Some first time mothers make a nasty bloody mess - but most are very clean about it and you will not see any blood more than on her back feet if that.  How old is she ?
