QuestionWe think our rabbit is in labor. Normally, how long is the first labor? She has been demonstrating all the signs that she is in labor, but it has been almost 3 hours and nothing yet except some orange discharge.
AnswerDear Aerial,
A first time labor can last 8-10 hours, but if the bunny starts to show signs of undue distress and pain, be sure to have a good rabbit vet on call:
