How do i know my rabbit is pregnant?

Question

I dont know if my rabbits pregnant and i dont want to go and spend a hundred dollars for nothing so how do i know my rabbits pregnant what are the symptoms??

Answer 1

She should get bigger. You can do a feel in her abdomen and if you feel some things that are grape sized then she is pregnant. Rabbits are very hard to tell if they are pregnant but about two days before birth they will make a nest and hours before giving birth they will pull some of their hair out.  

Answer 2

Okay you should be able to tell when she is about 12-14 days when  she was "mated" so from the day you found her. When this time has come you should be able to feel marble sized lumps/objects in side her(feel right between her hind-legs.)  " Plucking fur" she will start when (if she is pregnant,) about a week before she is due to give birth,rabbits gestation period is about 31 days.(give or take a few day either side). If you have wild rabbits in your area then,it a very good chance she is pregnant,there has been stories of people keeping indoor rabbits & having a cat flap,which the does(female rabbits) have gone through into the outside world & mated with a wild buck(male rabbit) & then the does have come back through the flap into the house & a month later the owner has found half wild rabbits born! If you don't have any/many wild rabbits in your area then i doubt it shes pregnant. It sounds like you like in America? If so then just to inform you that European Rabbits(The domesticated rabbit) CAN'T breed with the common American Cottontail rabbit. You might have a few of the species living by you. There aren't really many signs of rabbit pregnancy as they might not appear it in size.

Hope this helps. x*x

Answer 3

I am a bit confused about your question. First, how could it cost a hundred dollars whether she is pregnant or not? Also, how could she have gotten pregnant? If she ran away, where did she go? Were there male rabbits present?

You can easily palpate a female rabbit's stomach to determine if she is pregnant. Pregnancy can be detectable as early as a week.  It feels like a line of marbles in her abdomen.  Gestation is 31 days. Most rabbits will show noticeable increase of girth when pregnant.  It will not be long before you know if she is or not, but it does not sound to me like she is unless you have placed her in with a male.
