Answer 1

i dont know, but i'll give you a star

Answer 2

okay well there is no babies because you have to wait about 6 months with rabbits and theres like 10 babies.

Answer 3

It seems there is a missing factor in this equation. Rabbit+x=babies. What could x be? What else? x=male rabbit!

Answer 4

Sounds like she had a false pregnancy. Did you palpate her on day 14? Could you feel kits inside her? Sometimes something will stress the doe and she can absorb the kits up until day 20 of the pregnancy.

A doe that goes longer than 35 days most likely will have kits that are delivered dead. They will also get too big to be delivered correctly.

I would try breeding her again to see if she will accept the buck.

Does do not just pull fur to build a nest they are going through a false pregnancy when they do this.

I would say she is not going to deliver any kits that will be viable(alive)

Answer 5

First, even females who aren't bred will pull out their fur to nest, so maybe she just built a nest even though the pregnancy didn't take.  Second, I have heard about rabbits who are pregnant one day and not the next, because they ate their babies after they were born.   It's actually kind of a common occurrence.  

Answer 6

Okay. Rabbit's normal gestation period is about a month, but sometimes it can be a little bit longer. It's a good sign that she's pulling fur, because she making a nesting site for the babies.

I once had a doe that went to 39 days before finally giving birth to 13 kits. A really big litter.

Like I said, it can take longer. You just have to wait, it can be any hour now.

Congrats on the babies coming, and Good luck. :)
