Question
we think my moms rabbit is pregnant and she is very agressive and wants to attack the male even when he is in  a different cage she is getting a big belly and eats twice as much as the male and she was shaking this morning
what does that mean she shook the whole cage my mom seen
them mating at one point .
my mom wasnt planning on breeding them she just wanted a mate for the other rabbit and didnt realize till after that they where doing it and all that and thinks she is pregnant now for at least a month ago or more
where kinda of confused

Answer
Hi Pauline,
first make sure that're dealing with a male and female...both sexes will mount eachother,even 2 females. It takes 32 days to have her babies...she will make a nest 1 day before kindling...and line it with her fur.  A male and female wouldn't usually fight together,especially after mating,the female would reject the males attempt to breed with her,but they wouldn't fight,this is why I'm not sure if you have a male and a female. But good luck just the same,Elizabeth
