Question
Hello,
I have a rabbit, that i got for free. it all started of when my uncle's wife asked me if i wanted rabbit food, then she came home with a rabbit, you see i no nothing about this rabbit,and it does not really like me, even when i touch it, it goes away.the is a bit fat and im not sure if the is girl/boy. maybe the owner's gave it away because the could not afford it. i think it is pregnent im not a 5 % sure though! could you help me! and it's digging in the bedding, and makeing a sort of hole. i really need help, but if nothing happens in one month then il take her/him to the vet. Thankyou alot if you can help me, and spending your time to answear me
thankyou heaps
it was scared of me at the start :)

Answer
hello hayley

have a look on the internet at pictures to find out if it is a boy or a girl. then go from there,as he/she could just be a big rabbit instead of being pregnant. however the 'hole' can be the nest. i would take her/him to the vets straight away, as they can see the sex and if she is pregnant or not if she is a girl.
