Question
Hi elizabeth im starting to get a little worrid now as my rabbit is pregnant and should have had them two days ago.Ive only had one litter before and they were on time,so a little in-experienced.Is this normal and is there anything i should do?thank you lindsay

Answer
Hi Lindsay,
 Well first,if she's a couple days late,she may have bred a little later than you think...that is if she was with her mate for a while after...
  There really is nothing you can do for this,just wait to see if she starts to make a nest ect..If you know she's pregnant definately,and she's extremely late and starting to show signs of illness or lethargy,seek a vet right away..as this is extremely dangerous for her.
 I'm sure she'll deliver soon,and I wish you luck,Elizabeth
