Question
what are the signs of a rabbit going in labor . do they pull there fur of around the boobs ??? and tail  

Answer
Evelyn, the signs of hormones surging before labor are pulling of fur, gathering nest material, not eating as normal, and sometimes mood swings ( sort of like human mothers to be )  This can happen right before birth but it can also happen weeks before - depending on the bunny.  Sometimes it all happens and nothing is ever delivered - which is called a false pregnancy.  Don't panic - give her a nice warm  nest box full of dry hay, and peace and quiet.  You should also make sure she has at least 1 liter of water in her cage at all times.
