Natural Rabbit Cures - For Pregnancy

Through many reliable resources and my own experiences, I've accumulated a fair bit of knowledge as to some natural rabbit cures for when your rabbit is pregnant/in labor. 


These are all herbs.  Some are easier to find than others. This is not 100% guarantee that it will work, but hopefully it will help your rabbit if she's having issues while pregnant/in labor.

Blackberry - both the leaves and the fruit are good for your rabbit.  It will help keep your female cool in the summer heat.  Not only this, but after she's had her kits, it's a good was to introduce them to greens

Blue Cohosh - do NOT give to your female until she is in labor!  It is meant to induce labor and help if she has any stuck kits.

Borage - It helps with the increase of milk in the nursing female.  It's a good treat for the female after she gives birth and it will help keep her calm.  Careful though as it does act like a laxative

Comfrey - This is a way to get your pregnant/nursing female some extra vitamin A.  Not only that, but it's one of the best herbs for rabbits ever

Dandelion - Helps increase the milk flow of nursing females

Goats Rue - Helps increase the milk flow of nursing females

Fennel - Helps increase the milk flow of nursing females

Lavender - Induces labor and helps expel the placentas.  You must use VERY sparingly as it acts like a tranquilizer to rabbits!

Mint - This helps STOP the milk flow of a female who's trying to wean her bunnies.  NEVER feed this to lactating females!

Nettles - Helps increase the milk flow of nursing females

Parsley - This just helps productivity in your females but is also good for helping with the males in their fertility

Raspberry - This helps to prevent any birthing problems for your female.  It helps the condition of the pregnancy and ensures a good birth. 

Strawberry - The entire plant is good.  It helps to prevent miscarriages in your females and keeps your female cool in the summer

Then I cannot remember where, but somewhere on the internet I found this:

Pregnancy Tonic - You combine the following herbs: dried raspberry leaf, nettle, and goats rue in equal parts and half part milk thistle.  (ALL ORGANIC!)  Feed 1 Tbs. each day during feeding time.  Do this starting a week before your female is due and continue for a month.  This will help with the birthing process and give the female extra nutrition and increase the milk flow.  Remember though, only ONCE a day.
