  1. If you don't know this, you shouldn't breed her.

    You're gonna end up with dead babies if you keep up this ignorance.


  2. if she is pregnant then she will try to protect her young. but how ever it could be a false pregnancy where she thinks she is pregnant and she isn't. she will show all the signs of being pregnant ie. pulling her fur out, making a nest going into a corner when she is approached or showing aggressivness. it is really hard to tell, the only way you can tellis if u take her to the vets and get her checked out or just w8 and see if she gives birth. hope i was a little bit f help to you..... good luck!

  3. Do not do that if they mate they will not stop and you will have a thousand bunnies in one year!

  4. If she is pregnant then she will grunt at the male warning him off that she is not interested! Also did you put the female to the male or the male to the female, because females are more territorial so she will have a fit if you put the male in her cage anyway, if she is pregnant or not!

    Keep an eye on her, hope this helps!!

  5. Yes she is just showing a sign of protection.

  6. Remove the male from the females cage. Rabbits are territorial by nature.  If your rabbits are not spayed/neutered they should not be housed together. After she has the babies, the male will only mate with her again and you will have an endless cycle.  

  7. You should not be putting a possibly pregnant doe in with bucks if she is due to having her babies.

    You are putting her under un necessary stress and this could lead her to killing her young.

    She should be allowed to exercise by herself and give birth in peace if she is pregnant.

    Does will fight off bucks if they are not in the pink or if they are protecting their territory if you put the buck in with the doe. Also if she is pregnant her aggression will be as twice as fierce.
