can someone help me?


I googled "rabbits kindling in extreme heat" and found this;
FAO Rabbit Info wrote:High temperatures also seem to affect female rabbits negatively. The lower prolificacy attributed to does reared in hot climates (30° to 31°C) would appear to be the result not so much of the temperature itself as a reduction in body weight caused by a lower feed intake in the heat (Figure 14). It would seem, however, that embryo mortality increases when the temperature exceeds 30° to 33°C, although here again decreased feed intake needs to be considered as a possible cause.

HLRSC Official Guidebook wrote:To decrease litter and maternal mortality due to hot or cold temperature extremes, I move the does into my basement approximately one week before their due date with no ill effects. Moving the does at this time does not seem to stress or upset them in any way. Cold temperatures slow down the birthing process, making it difficult for the doe. Likewise, extreme heat may cause heat exhaustion in the doe or result in a dead litter.

Hope this can help! Basically it all says that you'll need to move her in as soon as possible, if she's not yet inside.

k thanks if she does not have them this weekend i will brign her in.

I swear Timber is the biggest slob that ever lived. She loves to kick the litter out of the litterbox, pull down the mangers, flip over pellet bowls, flip over the water bowls which have those refil jugs at the top, rip up anything she can reach through the sides of the pen (though she never ever chews anything when someone is around that might see her), and rearrange the entire pen. Oh Timby, you're lucky you're adorable xD

I had to have my friends hold the rabbits while I cut their nails this month. My friend was so scared holding Lennox xD

i need help with my pet rabbit.

he won't move and he'll just stay in the same place for hours, I'm concerned because he isn't eating as well. I searched on the internet and it said he might have a broken back and rabbits don't last long with broken back (that just makes my day worst) so i run my finger down his back and i don't feel any broken bones. My mum thought he just tired because he just wouldn't move, can anyone help me?

Take him to the vet if this isn't normal for him.

I agree with darkvoodoo. Take him to the vet, don't wait. This could be very serious and time is of the uttermost importance if he is sick or hurt!

Some people can't afford to go to the vet. I need to get my rabbit Neutered but this one place wanted over 400 bucks for it...pffffft heck no. My dad use to neuter cows on his farm, it doesn't cost that much. If you know anyone who has experience with rabbits, I'd ask them first because you know them. Some vets just like to rip people off and the bunny doesn't get treated properly and dies because the vets just wanted your money and doesn't care for your bunny/do their job properly, and others do nothing and say they did tests and then charge you like $200 dollars for a dead bunny.

Some rabbits just go through a phase where they're feeling lazy. For my bunny the older he gets, the lazier, which is normal because when you get older, you don't want to do as much.

Bunnies are due tomorrow! :D Veronica pulled hair on Sunday a few hours after I put the nest boxes in, kept thinking she'd have them early because of it, but I guess not. xD /isabunnynoob.

And yeah, I agree with HCA on this one.
