how do I know if my rabbit is in labor

I bred my female mini rex rabbit about a month ago, I have been watching her close because I haven’t been totally sure if she is pregant or not, today when I was out talking to her and petting her all of a suddon she hopped away from me and then closed her eyes and kinda layed down but it wasn’t like normal her tale went straight out and it looked like she tensed all up. is that a sign of her going into labor? or what do you think this could mean? she does have a nesting box and it has hay in it and I also noticed that she was taking some hay out and and digging at the box, then I again saw her lay down in the cage and start panting really heavy. what does all of this mean?

Answer #1

My bunny was like that and then the next day I woke up and checked on her and she had new born baby bunnies.So that means your bunny is about to have babies.

Answer #2

When a rabbit is getting ready to give birth, she will make a nest. Abdomen will be rock hard if she is nearing the birth of the babies. She will also pull her fur when she is ready to birth. & don’t clean any of the newborn with your bare hands, you’ll scent them..
