How do you tell when a rabbit is having birth?

Answer 1

when rabbits start coming out the rabbit!

CHARLA -

i agree with person above. and also you know when she keeps jumping in and out of the nestbox (you do have a nestbox don't you? or else babies will be born on wire and die) anyway, she keeps pulling hair ourt of her chest line it in the nestbox. she may also line the nestbox with hay or straw. TIP- when this is happening give her a raspberry leaf or two it helps with labor.

idk how rabbits go in labor but i have rabbits my self and there cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is ugly when they push them out!!!!

Answer 2

She will start pulling hair from her belly(another rabbit if she is in the same cage with one) and building her nest. You can also gently pick her up and touch her belly to see if she is starting to form milk in her mammory glands. If so get her a box to build her nest in.

Answer 3

if babies show up, it is giving birth

or, watch her. give her a nest box and straw. if she moves the straw around and starts pulling out her fur, she's about to go into labor. when she starts giving birth, her belly will roll during a contraction.

You really should leave her alone if you suspect it is her time. Watching her could cause her to get nervous and either string babies on the wire instead of in the nest box OR jump in and out of the nest box stomping on her babies as she gives birth. She should really be in a secluded dark place as soon as you see she is building a nest.

Answer 4

If the bunny is close she will begin to pull hair from her body and make a nest, it is advised to furnish a 4 sided box for her to jump into but the babies can not wiggle out of.

Answer 5

Rabbits give birth extremely quickly, normally only taking about 15 minutes or so.
