One of the few natural ways to stimulate labor that actually works is sexual intercourse. Seminal fluid contains prostaglandins, the same hormonal substances used by doctors to for cervical preparation and stimulation of contractions.

Sexual intercourse should be avoided if the membranes are ruptures (bag of waters has broken) or if there has been a problem with bleeding in pregnancy (placenta previa, etc.). If you are not sure if it is safe, ask your doctor or midwife.

Folk remedies should probably be avoided. Castor oil generally just causes diarrhea and abdominal pain without actually bringing on labor. It can also cause dehydration, which is not good for either other or baby. **Actually, while castor oil causes all of the symptoms above, they have been used by mid-wives for decades and are effective. The castor oil stimulates the intestines to contract which stimulates the uterus to contract as well.**

Packaged herbal supplements are not regulated by any agency, and one never knows what is in them. Sоme have been shown to contain the wrong herbs, dangerous herbs, different concentrations than those listed, and (especially those from China) heavy metal and pesticide contamination.

Other folk remedies/suggestions include walking (not been shown to be effective, but useful as a comfort measure), nipple stimulation (minimal data, generally does not support, but may be helpful), and acupuncture (no data). They're all probably safe alternatives, although not necessarily effective.

A very hungry rattlesnake might eat a jackrabbit. But normally, they don't. They will usually attack mice, shrews, and other small mammals.

As often as they are bred. It takes approx. 30 days to have babies and a doe CAN be rebred the same day she kindles. (This is not a good practice besides having tons of babies it will shorten the life of your doe.) A more realistic breeding program is breed doe, kindle in 30 days, start weaning babies at 6 weeks, rebreed doe between 7th and 8th week. Wean all babies by 8th week and the doe will have babies again 30 days from the day you bred her.

Rabbits can survive in a wide range of climates, they will adapt. I will go so far as to assume you want to know what temperature range they can survive in? The perfect range in temp for a rabbit is 40 degrees to 75 degrees. They can survive in higher and they can survive in lower with proper housing and protection from the elements.

The Angora Rabbit is a domestic breed of rabbit, usually raised for their wool. They are not a predator, and are herbivorous. So, they could be considered "prey". But they are not wild, so they are not naturally hunted by any wild predators, as a wild rabbit would be. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

Some does will by accident and on purpose. First time mothers may not build an adequate nest, or simply don't use the nest, and the kits may die of exposure. Some mothers will abandon their litters and again the kits will die from exposure or starvation. And yet other mothers may eat their young. This may happen for various reason as well, but the most common is because the doe is not getting enough nutrients and must eat the kits to stay healthy.

Well the most common would be a cat or a dog however you can also have the following animals depending on if you can care for them and have the time for them: Types of fish; Types of birds (my Nan had a parrot); Gerbils, Rabbits, Hamsters, Snakes, Rats, Mice, Tortoise, Types of Spiders; Frogs (they sell tiny ones at our fish local shop but you would have to look up what types you coulod have); Lizards (my cousin has one). There is probably alot more but that is all i can think of right now. as long as you have a the animals suitable environment requirements and you check with a proffesional before getting a pet you should be fine. Hope that helped! :D

Rabbits were brought to Australia on the First Fleet but, for whatever reason, they did not breed prolifically or cause any problems for the first few years of the colony's settlement. There is absence of any evidence that they were either eaten or hunted for sport in the Sydney area. Rabbits were popular as pets and for sport around Sydney in the 1840s, but again, there is no evidence that their population proliferated. It is believed that the carnivorous marsupials of the mainland, such as quolls, were able to keep rabbit numbers down.

Rabbits were also introduced into the Tasmanian colony where, by 1827, they were noted to be in their thousands.

A farmer named Thomas Austin who had a property in Winchelsea, Victoria, was responsible for introducing rabbits into Australia, leading to their current plague proportions. Austin was a member of the Acclimatisation Society, a group which believed in introducing exotic species into new locations around the world. In October 1859, Austin imported 21 European rabbits for hunting, releasing them on Christmas Day that year. Within a short period of time, it became evident that Victoria provided the ideal climate for the rabbits to breed and become a national pest. Rabbits have since spread throughout Australia.

A "buzzing" sound in a rabbit probably means the rabbit is content -- usually, this sound will be made when you're petting the rabbit. This noise is made by the rabbit gently chattering its teeth. Some people call this behaviour "tooth-purring" because it sounds somewhat similar to a cat's purring and is made for the same reasons (happiness).

Rabbits scream, grunt, growl, and buzz at times. They are expressing their pain, fear, discomfort, or pleasure just as a cat may hiss or purr depending on how it feels. There may be many reasons for the buzzing sound, like grinding of teeth if it is nervous or in distress, or it could be purring because it is happy to be petted. Humans sometimes have difficulty understanding the sounds until they become very familiar with their pet, but such sounds should not be ignored so the owner can look for the problem if the rabbit is in distress.

Different rabbits "vocalize" in different ways. Some rabbits are very vocal and make noises all the time; other rabbits are very quiet and hardly ever vocalize at all. The key to understanding what your rabbit is doing (and why!) is to read about general rabbit behaviours, and spend many hours observing your individual rabbit. See the link below for more information about rabbit communication.

Yes, it is called survival instinct. Survival of the herd is based on secrecy, if man has touched babies they are not a secret anymore. Dead babies likewise are eaten, Dead babies smell will attract predators.
