Rabbit babies?

Question

Hello, I have a rabbit who I believe is pregnant. Can you feel the babies in the females stomach? I have a rabbit who hardly has any fur which it makes it look fatter and its **** bigger. So im kinda wondering how big should they be? Also beside the question how do I award a best answer?

Answer 1

Like the above answerer stated, you can feel for the young, though it can be dangerous for the young if preformed incorrectly.

You can also look for behavioural ques such as fur pulling, nest building, digging...Mine almost made a warren in the garden when she was pregnant! The day before giving birth she made a nest made from her own fur in the bedroom area of the hutch.

Answer 2

you can palpate the doe.

Which is putting your arm under while she's relaxed, and use your index and thumb by pinching them together with the does belly in the middle... If you feel anything like a marble or mass, she's most likely prego... She will have to be at least 2 weeks pregnant to feel them, its easier around 3 weeks.. but avoid doing it a lot, because u can damage the babies

Answer 3

No, you can't. It sounds like your bunny is sick and needs a vet. Hair loss is not normal. You may be feeling cancerous tumors, not babies.

Please spay your rabbit and don't breed
