[kookookachoo221]

Hi all again,

My whole family thought my bunny was pregnant and now we are kindaleaning toward NOT PREGNANT. This weekend is the due date forthe mommy. Well she is not pulling fur and she does not have any signsat all of being pregant. Should a put a nesting box in theirjust in case? I tried palplating and I did not feel anything,I might of just been doing it completley wrong so, I dont know what todo. Could she still be pregant and not pullfur?

I would put the nesting boxin because sometimes they pullk fur just hours before they give birth!hope this helps ...if you have anymore ?'s please feel free to PMme...My rabbit gave birth 3 weeks ago!!

Thanks forthe information, does the doe have to be bigger in size ofthe whole body to beable to be pregnant, because she isntbig. Also do they let you hold them when they arepregnant? What do you put in the nesting box? i'mreally new at this so thanks for the help!

Each Doe is different when it comes to being pregnant. I have does thatget HUGE, and some you cant even tell when theyre pregnant. As ageneral rule....my does DO NOT like to be held during pregnancy. But, Ido have two that wants ALL the attention they can get pregnant or not.I use about one inch of pine shavings in the bottom of the box, thenhay to finish it off. The doe should pull fur to line the nest box, butshe may not do that until right before she has them. Good luck.
