Magic possibly pregnant

[Sabine]

As I just got another rabbit and after a few unsuccessful attempts to mate magic I had abandoned the idea of breeding her.I just palpated her earlier and she certainly feels different around the middle. She is not a bunny that puts on weight and I am pretty certain what i felt was an advancing pregnancy.
I am slightly in shock as I had almost forgotten I tried to breed her. I am also confused as to who the daddy is:?
The buck we were trying to mate her with she showed no interest in for three consecutive days. When i examined her girlie bits they were all pale pink and I concluded that her frolicking around with Benny (our neutered buck) may have induced a false pregnancy - or could it be real???? Benny was neutered on 19 December and the incident occured at the start of March,

After the three days of Mgic rejecting the bucks advances we tried her with another lop buck but again she wasn't interested. I wonder now though did they mate without us noticing? But her girlie bits were light pink all the time.

Thankfully we have enough spare hutches and from tomorrow on I'll put Magic into a new hutch and will restrict her outside time to the run

I've had does conceive after being bred when their vulvas were pale in color. I think it just decreases the likelihood of the breeding taking.

Are the possible sires at least different colors? Hopefully you'll be able to discern dadihood by the color of the babies. Of course if she was successfully bred at different times with different bucks...this could get complicated.

The only actual mating I saw happening was with Benny our neutered buck, but as he at that stage had been alreay neutered for about twelve weeks it is very unlikely...
The buck I had intended to breed her with is a broken black like herself. The other younger buck I tested her with (and she also showed no interest in) is a lop as well but with more atypical features. I would discribe his coulour as black sable if there is such a thing. I expect the outcome would be brokens too. I think I should be able to tell but if the babies have a lion mane I'll take Benny in for a check:?

I doubt it was Benny if she is pregnant, how long did she spend with Nightshade? Maybe he got her at one stage when you weren't there.

I agree, The only way that Benny could of gotten magic pregnant would have been if he wasn't neutered properly. Witch I find to be even less likely.

It could be possible but I didn't see any evidence that she was only remotely interested. The did hang out for two consecutive afternoons and maybe she was just playing hard to get.
I wonder if a false pregnancy could induce some swelling of the belly?
