[notts 0]

mate my jill was exactly the same i waited 7 days after her due date and then took her to the vets and she had a phantom pregnancy, now she is back in seas.

let nature do its thing...

jazz, did yours show all the signs of pregnancy?

my jill has got the fatish belly,(although not massive) niples showing,and has been nest building

but like you say....i'll let nature take it's course!

thanks for eveyones help,puts my mind a little at rest..

I have been keeping a close eye on her and she really swelled up a few days ago and looked ready to burst, iv been keeping an eye on the days and at this time she still hasnt dropped, by my working out she should of dropped a day or two ago.i know it aint clock work but she was f*****g massive and now she looks a bit smaller.im thinking the worst and thinking that they are dead inside her and she aint going to drop them but can anyone tell me from experiance how long they have waited for the kits.I dont need people telling me why didnt i just take her to the vets and things like that because its only been a couple of days overdew just need a bit of advice if anyone can help.cheers.

just an update of the jill, shes had about 10 kits i think maybe more not rearly disturbd her much but shes doing fine and at the minit the kits look alright to.

are you saying she went almost a week over? at the moment my jill is 5 day's overdue.....

cant see owt happening at the moment.

from the days i counted yeah but the hob might of mated a few times or not done the job straight away,i moved her to a smaller box aswell and this seemed to make her more relaxed.

ok mate, i'll have to see what happens over the weekend......

 

Glad things worked out .Mother nature can't be rushed

start lamping the rabbit in for them from around 3 weeks onwards & you wont have a problem handling
