Question
we introduced the female to the male about 2 weeks ago and he has been at her several times a day everyday since. i was just wondering if i should remove the male from the cage and put him in his own away from her if i suspect pregnancy or will he be alright in the cage with her.

Answer
Hi Amanda,

remove the male to a separate cage. Give your female the bigger cage if the cages differ in size.  She is pregnant.  You can't keep a male with a pregnant female (fighting, bad for babies).

Check out the house rabbit society web site for info on babies. Type 'newborn' or 'babies' into their article search engine at the top of their main page.
