FLOPPY EAR RABBITS

Question
HOW CAN U TELL IF A FEMALE IS PREGNANT AND HOW LONG DO THEY CARRY?

Answer
It is hard if you don't have much experience with this, you can do a palpation. This is where you feel the rabbits stomach near the back legs to see if you can feel little hard grape sized bumps in her stomach.  The best time to do this is around 12 days along.  However you have to be careful doing this and it might be better to try to find an experienced rabbit breeder in your area to check for you or take her to your vet, they can usually tell for you.

Rabbits carry about 31 days. Since they ovulate when bred this needs to be counted from the day after being bred, although most breeders give their does a time frame of 28-33 days.
