How to Tell if Your Rabbit is Pregnant

[@gachapinxx8727]

I have a little love story for you guys about my rabbits. So a couple months after I moved to Denmark I got two rabbits. They got along so well together and they would snuggle together. We later found out it was a female and a male. We thought she might be pregnant and we waited 5 weeks, and nothing. We never thought much if it after that and let them stay together. One Sunday morning we were getting ready to leave for a race and I run down to feed her before we go. Behold, I see a bundle of fur in the corner so I closed a gate (they have like a yard and then a house type of thing) and pulled out the tray and looked under the fur. 9 healthy babies! All were alive and healthy and a nice pink Color, there was a little blood around but I am pretty sure that’s just from giving birth. It was a really big litter (extra info, mama is a dwarf ram and papa is half dwarf ram and half dwarf rabbit) and I ran over to my mum and we were all so surprised. They are all gone now in their new families! We kept one though! Her name is angel and she is about a year now (yeah it was a long time ago!) and her mom and her didn’t get along so they have separate cages and a middle cage they take turns in being in (they both have a tunnel they can crawl through to get there and there are gates in that tunnel). Now we know that one of my neighbours has a male rabbit (oh btw papa rabbit is no longer able to make babies) so we today will go down there and ask them if they would like to lend us their male so we can have a proper planned pregnancy. My mum is home now so that’s what I will be doing now! Cya!

[@Slightlyrednecked]

Awesome. So glad to hear that they all did well.

[@gachapinxx8727]

Slightly Rednecked aha thanks for reading it all but yeah! The person we just visited gave their bunny away but my mums friend knows someone that might have a male so we will see how it goes!

[@crowleywebb7132]

I have a black lion head who about 4 months ago got pregnant. She was always very calm till she got pregnant by my white mini rex. It was her first pregnancy and she’s about a year and a half old. She was always very friendly till she got pregnant. You’d stick your hand in the cage and she’s growl, stomp her foot and bite you. She ended up eating her first litter. Which is normal for a new mom. But she’s pregnant again by a different mini rex and I’m so excited:)))

[@wardrobelion]

Good rule of thumb is always assume they are pregnant😂! And if she is pregnant and you put her in with your buck she will attack him…another way to know. Good video.

FOR EVERYONE WONDERING: no she didn’t give birth sadly 🥺 She could’ve had a miscarriage idk But as sad as it is, the boy rabbit died and I was rlly hoping she was pregnant as like a last goodbye from the boy if that makes sense. So I could have his babies to remember him by. Anyways she’s still alive and thriving and she’s gotten super sweet and less shy so idk if she was maturing and she got sweeter getting older or if she did get pregnant and had a miscarriage and it left a mark on her personality.

[@bennieben2252]

My rabbit gave birth to two kits last month without us knowing ,but sadly they passed away. She got pregnant AGAIN by the time we realised that the “girl” rabbit we bought (because our other one died and we wanted a friend for her) was actually a BOY. So now she is pregnant and I am feeling around 8 grape sized things in her stomach. My question is, why is she not moving for her position? Like,she is not very lively and she looks very tired. Thanks,enjoyed the video!

[@Slightlyrednecked]

it could be that she is pretty tired. Chances are she got pregnant right after giving birth to the other babies and that can be taxing on any animal. Don't worry though, she should be just fine.

[@bunnybun5602]

If a female mates twice in the time frame of about a week, is it possible the babies will die? I thought I read somewhere that they might. My male rabbit has been getting out at night which is when we let our female roam and it's happened about two times now in the past week. They're not hostile to each other and are quite friendly so I'd assume they mated both times.

[@caramelbilquees]

My rabbits stomach was hard when she was pregnant, also she grunted a lot if you went near her. She did eat a lot and put on weight. And picked up lots of grass in her mouth to help her build a nest

[@Slightlyrednecked]

some rabbits do that. But most of the time there is very little change in a rabbit when it gets pregnant.

[@chineka421j6]

I really enjoy your content. I need your help. I bought a rabbit and was assured she was expecting. I am inexperienced but I'm excited to learn more. We were given a date as to when she would have babies; we gave it an additional week and still nothing ☹. The guy we got her from said we could bring her back to mate, but we're not so sure cuz his rabbits have mites (so did ours, but you taught us how to treat that, and it worked 😊😊)... I'm so skeptic to return to his place, but I'm getting anxious... Advice?

[@Slightlyrednecked]

Thank you for watching my videos. If the rabbit has gone more than a week past her due date she probably isn't pregnant. If you want to get her bred again and don't have access to another buck, I wouldn't be too concerned about taking her back to get her bred. If you do end up with mites again you can just treat her for them. Chances are, she will get mites again eventually anyway. It is a very common thing for rabbits to get. I hope that helps.

Great tips thanks! I couldn't quite feel but I know I breed her well 28 days ago and the last week she has been eating hay like crazy. She use to go through one fill up a day or two now almost every 12 hrs the hay is gone....eaten not played with. She also is more friendly letting me pet her where before it was more skittish. Lastly she is visibly fatter around the gut. She also tried using her hay for nesting material so on day 23 I added the nest box which she angrily accepted and I gave nest material which she added inside. First time satin mom btw so any day now! Thanks for the tips sounds like a pregnant woman lol. Wants weird food, mood swing, and big gut 😉😅

Hi. I bred my doe on sep 9th and it is now the sept 27th and my doe has been building her nest for 2 days...i know this is really early to build a nest , shes even pulled fur , does this sound like false pregnacy ? Do the ever build a nest 10 days early?

It is unusual for them to build a nest that early but it doesn't necessarily mean anything. I would just give her some time and see if she has babies by day 30 or not before I started making any assumptions.

Idk if my bunny is pregnant, i mean the last couple of days she has been like running/jumping around and she always runs after me and sits on my foot :/

[@emmanueltodo5954]

Thank you for the video Chris!! Answered a lot of questions. My female started packing her cheeks with straw about 2 weeks into her pregnancy, so i gave her the nesting box when i saw her pacing and panicking with straw in her mouth. She would take the alfalfa and try to use it as bedding and only ate her pellets. She would keep the straw in her mouth and not eat so i thought giving her the box would help. The next morning, i came in and saw that she had created a nest and pulled tons of hair. over the next 13 days, nothing happened. She also got extremely aggressive towards other females to the right and left of her cage. have you ever experienced a pregnancy that lasted over 36 days?

[@Slightlyrednecked]

I have not personally but I have heard of that happening. If it goes over 40 days it is probably a sign that it was either a false pregnancy or an aborted one (for whatever reason).

[@haydenm634]

I woke up yesterday and my bunny had a huge nest. She’s had babies before, but she hasn’t been with our male bunny.

[@Slightlyrednecked]

Maybe she is going through a false pregnancy. That does happen from time to time.

[@charissaharvey8430]

My rabbit just picked up a heap of hay and has made a nest with it. She is usually a pig with food but only ate a little today and is busy making her nest. Im not sure if it’s her first litter as I found her running around the streets (she is very friendly tho) I was just curious as to how often they have failed litters? I’m really hoping that everything goes well.

[@Slightlyrednecked]

It isn't that uncommon for a rabbit to have a false pregnancy. If she hasn't had any babies in the next day or two I would consider it a false pregnancy for sure. Good luck with them. I hope it all goes well.

[@charissaharvey8430]

Slightly Rednecked, she had babies! Another important thing I should have said is that there was a male with her too, (I have him now) so I kinda knew she was pregnant since she was very fat and was living with a domestic male rabbit. I was more so asking how often they have trouble with birth/ keeping the babies alive but she’s doing an excellent job so far.

I’m very confused :(

[@bunnybun5602]

Has your rabbit recently experienced change in habitat or something else? Does she have toys to play with? That may be why she's knocking over her food and water, she might be bored. I've read that female rabbits tend to become shy of males when pregnant, but I can't speak from experience. Rabbits usually don't enjoy having their bellies touched, so it makes sense that she would run away from you when you try to touch it. Has she been in contact with an un neutered male? Is she spayed? I'd wait to see if she begins to try and make a nest. If you see her pulling out fur and collecting hay, she's probably about to have babies in a few days or so. She could be stressed out or sick. Just keep an eye on her for a while.

[@Slightlyrednecked]

I am sorry to hear that you are having problems. First things first, you should never take the male to the female. Always take the female to the male. Females are very territorial. That alone could be what is stressing her out. If she was with a male there is a good chance that she is pregnant though. Make sure you have a nest box in there and see if she starts building a nest.

Don’t worry it’s absolutely fine, I have 3 rabbits all siblings and the female gave birth to 3 babies. One was born dead already but the other two are completely healthy and they are 3 weeks old now.

[@pyrofful]

Rabbits are fine left outside with babbies as long as it's around -5 to 90ish degrees outside. Obviously if it's hot add an ice pack and or a fan if it's cold give extra warm bedding material. They could be more prone to illness being so closely related or other complications but not necessarily. Just don't breed or let those babbies breed anymore with any rabbit IMO. You just created a weakness and if you breed the inbred rabbits to any other rabbit those future babbies will still have the weaknesses of the inbred parent. Worse case scenario they die but that's not always the case. If you lucked out like really well they will appear just fine.....still don't breed them later in life since they are inbred IMO. I'm still learning though and it's your rabbit do what you want

The last week of the supposed pregnancy, sit with your rabbits. Your pregnant does will be tired and lying on their sides. You will be able to see the babies moving around in there. That is the only way I’ve 100% been correct on calling a pregnancy. Every other method has been sometimes correct and sometimes not. Haha!

[@Slightlyrednecked]

lol. I know what you mean. That is why i use the straw in the cage every few days method. :)

yE MINE WAS GRUMPY YOU KNOW WHY MY BUCK KEEPS HUPING HER AND SHE IS SCARED NOW!!!! oh wait I was on caps oppsieee 😐😑

[@crunchyrollser]

My two does both start grunting when they are.

[@Slightlyrednecked]

They usually grunt when they are unhappy for feel threatened.

My doe's first successful birthing experience was about 2 months ago. I saw my buck on her on april 2nd and I've been keeping track of the days and she has the same place she gave birth in last time but I noticed she dug a really deep tunnel under a tree and started putting grass and leaves in there instead of her usual spot. She's only 18 days in 😓 ive tried feeling if there are any babies inside her but im no professional 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@salmahazem9156]

Is she 18 days old?

[@Fortnitegirl0131]

@@salmahazem9156 nono, she's only been pregnant for 21 days unless it's a false pregnancy. She's 10 months old. She lives with her mate and i usually see him on her a lot. She covered up her den she made and started making a nest in a another spot yesterday.

SOME ONE ANS MY COMMENT my male rabbit breeded like 3 weeks ago to the female and shes gone kinda heavy and i puted her in a cage and she jusr stands at the coner looking back What do i do?

[@bunnybun5602]

Maybe take her to the vet if possible to see if there's anything wrong. She may be bored and that's why she's staring at the wall, give her some toys and such to entertain herself and wait to see if she makes a nest

[@Omar_93925]

I breaded her again 3weeks ago and i gave her toys shes happy i put a nest box in but she dosent make her nest?

[@bunnybun5602]

@@Omar_93925 Rabbit pregnancy only lasts about 30 days and my rabbits didn't start nesting until a few days before birth. Make sure she has a nesting box and hay to make a nest with and wait a few more days EDIT: I now see that you gave her a nesting box. Ignore that part 😅

[@Omar_93925]

Lol so she has a nesting box and hay in it so i will need to wait a few days till she builds her nest

[@enderstar5464]

My rabbit just lost her buddy (my buck rabbit) and so she got a little easier ( not sure if that is from The lost or not). But she was a skinner rabbit when she is well taken care of but all of the sudden over two day she got really fat. Is she pregnant or is it some thing else?

[@Slightlyrednecked]

It is hard to say for sure. Rabbits don't usually gain a lot of weight when they are pregnant. But if you had her with a buck, there is a very good chance she is pregnant.

[@ΑντώνιοςΚοτσυφακης]

ah shit my rabbit is pregnant

[@mollywhitmore631]

so if you feel two little sacks on a doe cause I do and its kinda squishy, so is it pregnant? please tell me I need help

[@Slightlyrednecked]

maybe. That is a good sign but palpating is very hard to do and you may just be feeling organs (like the kidneys). Rabbit babies should be about the size of a grape and kind of hard, not overly squishy. I would say to assume your rabbit is pregnant and put a nest box in at 28 days. I hope that helps.

[@EmergencyDrawings]

Can you feel them moving? I palpated my rabbit and I feel something but it's hard, but if I hold my fingers there for a few seconds I can feel it moving but idk if it's actually babies or just poop but I felt it towards the very back

If you had her with a male rabbit she is probably pregnant.

[@xneovy5037]

is it ok if my rabbit mates when having false pregnancy??

[@Slightlyrednecked]

If you are sure it is a false pregnancy then it is fine to go ahead and mate her. It is very hard to tell for sure that a rabbit is pregnant though so I would give her at least 34 days after her initial mating just to be sure she isn't pregnant before mating her again.

[@aaravbhargava298]

Can I put a 2 month female rabbit with a male rabbit

[@gacos2325]

Not a good idea, they reach sexual maturity at 3 months.

[@priscillawagner6205]

2 months is too young to breed. Males and females should be separated

[@haych9803]

Hi @slightly rednecked, I have a question, would you mind assisting me . I have Netherlands’s dwarfs and attempted to get them to breed which I’ve been trying for the last 2-3 months , this time round which was Saturday they managed to breed however the doe was being a little hasty and not lifting her tail but let him grip on to her , he still managed to breed but without her lifting her tail , this was repeated 3 times, how would I know if she is pregnant ? many thanks

[@Slightlyrednecked]

It is very difficult to know for sure. If you experienced fall offs from the male, I would assume she is pregnant and plan accordingly.

[@haych9803]

@Slightly Rednecked thank you very much for the reply 👍🏻

[@Slightlyrednecked]

No problem.

[@benisle2629]

My rabbit has got a huge belly and I can feel something in it do u think she is pregnant mate

[@Slightlyrednecked]

it is possible. It is really hard to tell for sure.

[@benisle2629]

@@Slightlyrednecked what else would it be do u think I should take her to the vet's

[@debrabarnett7511]

When do you replace your Does? Mine were borne 10/17, I breed then only between October and February due to the extreme heat in Texas, so I will not be breeding again until 10/19. They are giving me 5-10 kits per litter currently. I have plenty of Does to choose from for replacements, so wanted some suggestions from someone that has more experience than I.

[@Slightlyrednecked]

I can generally get about 2 years (some does will go for 3) out of a doe before she needs to be replaced. I just replace when the litter size starts to dwindle or I start having false pregnancies or high mortality rates with the babies.

[@Aishaisthebest]

or take it to a vet

[@exotickeeper4181]

This is good advice. The onky downside is not all rabits show.. In my experience with jy NZ Flem and giant lops is they do get pudgier and my girls usualy lay on thair side. Or back alot.. Also I have a female who aint been bred in many months (last babies was born july) and she loves making nests randomly i give her shreded paper hay and straw to play and potty in (shes inside) and shes ALWAYS walkin ariund with paper or straw hanging outbof her mouth and i dint mean 1 ir 2 strands.. I mean like 15-20+ lol. Behavior is the biggest ine tho imo spot on chris!

[@Slightlyrednecked]

I guess that doe is telling you she wants to have some babies. :)

[@itsjustrenee1320]

that is so cute

[@akeemfindlaytor2679]

hey Chris my rabbit have five baby today there are 9day when can I put the mother bake to the father?

[@Slightlyrednecked]

It depends on when you want to have more babies. I would wait until the current babies are at least 3 weeks old.

[@aireadysent1626]

what do you feed them sir? my rabbit is very small.

[@Slightlyrednecked]

I feed my rabbits a 19% protein rabbit pellet i get from a local feed store. The size of the rabbit really has more to do with genetics than anything else though.

[@pyrofful]

Yup and if yours isn't considered a meat rabbit breed they will probably not get as big. Pet rabbit breeds are usually smaller

[@TranquilSequoia]

If your rabbit is a mini and/or dwarf it won't get very big (under 10lbs for sure unless you over feed it).

Sorry to hear about the problems you are having. I would give her another few days but if she doesn't have them by day 40 I would consider her not pregnant. I hope that helps.
