Thanks for reaching out about Spot. This is not normal. Is she actively contracting? Usually parturition (birthing) is fairly quick in rabbits since the fetuses are very small. Spot should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. In the meantime try to disturb her as little as possible, to reduce stress. Good luck.
