Pregnant Lionhead bunny

Question
I think my lionhead is pregnant, if she is she should be due on April 5th. I really wanted to have one litter before I fixed her and my male. I have my boy scheduled for neuter on April 4rth. Figured I could be around for both of them alot next weekend. I really want to make sure she is pregnant since he will be getting fixed. I did try to feel around 14 days. I didn't know how hard to press, or really what I was feeling for. I know I felt at least a lump. But I really don't feel confident about what I felt. Any suggestions? thank you angelique

Answer
hi angelique -its veryhard to tellby feeling her -one very good sign is she may get aggresive and try to bite you.
24 hrs prior to birth she may pluck fur off her chest -make sure she has plenty of hay to make a nest and keep the buck well away.
