She could be having another false pregnancy. Justincase she is pregnant, add a nest box, it wouldn't hurt. Did youactually see them mate? Did the buck grunt and fall off backwards?that's a sure sign theymated.

Is her belly large? Does she seem like all she wants to do is lounge around?

yes because usally when i go to feed them sheusually run s and sprints toward the bowl but not lately now she walksto the food andwhen i take her out for her exercise she runsfor a second and the sits around and you cannot get her up. yes i sawthem mating

Ok, if you saw them mating, she could be having afalse pregnancy, that can sometimes trigger it. What's more importantis if you saw the buck grunt and fall off backwards.

IM alsoconfused about my doe! She just had a litter, her fist litterandi think sheis having a false pregnanacy as well, but before i knewto take away the father,Thumper mated with her twodays after the kits were born, which was feb 17th! Wouldntthe babies have been born already? Im very confused, cause she is verysluggish and she is round in nature and although i dont feel any peap

pods in her belly, like they say,she is eating and drinking more! Sheis laying about alot! Andshe is making her nest! she has a litter box in her nest!@ and alittlenesting cave, will she use that if she does have another litter ofkits? The male is with her, cause she goes crazy and refusesto eat her meals every time i try and seperate them both!?? what do Ido? The little baby is 6 weeks old tomrow! this ischipperluv

Bottom line is that you need to seperate them, wecan't risk having her get pregnant again, there are too many unwantedbuns. They can get pregnant the day they give birth. She may as well bepregnant. Please seperate them, they need to be seperated anyways ifshe kindles!

chipperluv,
you could seperate them but place their cages side by side so they could still see and smell each other.

I think it would be irresponsible to let them breed again. Breedingshould be left to those people who consider it a serious hobby and doit for show and to improve the breed. I agree that there are alreadytoo many unwanted pet bunnies sitting in shelters waiting for homes.
I don't want to make you feel guilty that your rabbit is having babiesbecause I understand that accidental litters do happen, but I think itcan and should be prevented from happening again.

If you would like to keep them happily together in the future, Irecommend that you get BOTH of them neutered and spayed. Getting themboth fixed will allow you to house them together, and they will makebetter pets with fewer behavior issues.

Good luck with the babies.

Leave it. Just in case.
