How big does a hole need to be to fit a staling in a bird box?

A hole in a bird box for a starling should be around 1.5 inches in diameter. This size is suitable for starlings while excluding larger birds that may pose a threat to the nest.


When do rabbits bleed?

Not always but quite often. Like most mammals bearing live young, giving birth is a painful process for the mother and often is accompanied by at least some bleeding. Often long before the babies are actually born, contractions and the movement of the babies along the birth canal can push out blood and mucus first.


Your guinea pig is about to give birth any day what can you do to help her?

There is really nothing you can do to help her. Make sure there is a box for her to give birth. The box should be big enough that she can turn around in it. Make sure she has plenty of fresh water.


How will you no when your rabbit is going to give birth?

It is easy to tell when the last week of the pregnancy is. A pregnant doe (a doe is the female name for a rabbit) will not usually show until the last week of pregnancy. During the last week it is best to place a nesting box in so she can build her nest and give birth to her kits (name for baby rabbits). Without a nesting box the babies will end up scattered as they learn to scoot within a few days of being born and may end up dieing if they don't find their way back. The mother doe will never move her babies. So if you want them to survive I suggest placing the stray kit back in the group of kits for warmth and eventually food. On the day of the pending birth the doe will gather large amounts of hay or litter into her mouth and arrange it into a nice pile. Some does may build their nest a few days early. The doe will not usually eat, drink, poop or urinate on the day she will give birth. She should resume these activities shortly after giving birth. She will then pluck her fur from her upper and lower chest and sometimes legs. The doe will then use this fur to line her nest of hay. Rabbits are anxious creatures by nature since they are a prey animals. The pregnant doe will appreciate a quite and secure atmosphere without an audience, though it is best to check on her shortly after she gives birth to remove any dead or stillborn kits. If she is frightened or disturbed while giving birth she may end up abandoning her kits or worse eating them. After the birth which usually takes around ten to twenty minutes check to see if there are any dead kits and remove them promptly. Be sure to offer some form of calcium immediately after the birth since her calcium level will drop. A half of a Tum will do just fine. The mother will not stay with kits and will only feed them one to two times a day. I suggest checking on the kits within two day of her giving birth to insure that she has not abandoned them. Do not worry about your scent she will not care. But I do suggest not wearing any lotion or perfume on your hands or wrists when handling the kits. The kits should be warm and very plump looking, like a frog's belly. Place the kits back in the nesting box with the fur on top and offer the mom a treat for letting you handle the kits.


Do pregnant dogs use the bathroom where they are giving birth?

"Use the bathroom" is a human euphemism. I assume in the case of a dog that you mean "urinate" or "eliminate" and that your dog does not actually use bathrooms. In any case, it is normal for a pregnant dog to urinate (and defecate) while puppies are being born. Try to clean up any elimination quickly without disturbing the dog.

When should you clean out the box the cat gave birth in?

You can clean out as soon as she is through giving birth to her kittens. It should be changed daily. This will help to keep every one clean and healthy. Be sure to put the Momma Cat on Kitten food as she needs to make lots of milk for her kittens so she could use the kitten food as long as she needs to nurse them.
