HELP!!! I dont know what wrong with my rabbit!!

[nicolaleigh]

My female rabbit recently came in contact with a male rabbit about 28 days or so ago im not sure if she is pregnant because she has not pulled out any fur but the last two days she has spent all day lay down with her bum in the air being really lazy and hardly eating she is normally really active i sat with her last night watching her stomach as it seems to be slightly larger than normal and sort off hanging down i swear i keep seeing her stomach move as if there is kits in there i have tried palpatating her but i cannot feel anything but i have noticed her nipples and ive never felt those before could someone help iam really worried!!

It has been warm and rabbits get hot easily so maybe she was resting and panting a lot? My rabbit used to do this in the summer (obviously she was in the shade, but they got hot easily)

Or she is pregnant! I love baby bunnies..

Maybe take her to the vet? Or if you think that would be too stressful for her, you could give the vet a ring and describe the symptoms, if it is pregnancy, they can tell you what to look for.

Don't panic!

A rabbit's gestation period is approximately 30 - 31 days so I would imagine she is definitely pregnant. Please do not 'palpate' her as you can damage the babies. If you are so worried why did you let her get together with a male?

Any babies yet?
