how long before my rabbit will have baby bunnies

Question
hi,about 3 week ago we saw our rabbits 'making love'.The doe has started to make a nest how long before she will have the baby bunnies or isn't she pregnant?

Answer
Hi

Well it can take anywhere from 28 - 33 days.  You need to give her a box and line it with newspaper, then aspen chips than hay.  If she is nesting outside of the box then move the box to where she wants to nest and put her fur on top of the hay.

She could be pregnant or she could be having a false pregnancy.  Chances are if you let the buck and doe run free together than she is pregnant.  If he only got to her once then it may be a false pregnancy.  The only way to tell is to wait the 33 days.

Good luck and I hope she does ok
