How to Tell if Your Rabbit is Pregnant

In this video I discuss several signs to look for that could indicate that your rabbit might be pregnant. I also demonstrate how to palpate a pregnant rabbit.

    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!

    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:)))

    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 😉😅

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. Tysm for you guys’ interest in her and concern.

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.

    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.

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.

    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?

    I had two rabbits and my family didn't know the other was a male rabbit until my dad checked recently. The male rabbit was on top of my female rabbit and my mom tried to take him away but he was just frozen. My mom picked up the female rabbit and she had some blood from her genital area. Is that an indication that she got impregnated?

    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

    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.

    I would still plan on her being pregnant just in case. I have lots of videos on how to take care of rabbits. The biggest thing to do is to put a nest box in at around 28 days (from the time she was with the male) and wait until about day 35. Just stuff a bunch of straw in a box of some kind and stick it in the cage. if she hasn't had babies by then, she probably won't. If she does, there isn't much you need to do. She will take care of them.

    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.

    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.

    I am sorry to hear that you are having these problems. If you had her with a male rabbit (not a wild one because they can't interbreed) then i would just consider her pregnant and put a nest box in when she is getting close to 30 days from the date she was bred. Sounds like she might be a little stressed and it might be best not to handle her much until she calms down.

    There is a very good chance that she is pregnant. If you left her alone with the males she is almost certainly pregnant. But pulling fur doesn't usually happen until about the time they are ready to give birth. I would get a nest box in her cage just to be sure.
