Question
I bred my lionhead rabbit over the weekend, and all seemed well until the male jumped the fence so to speak, 2 days later. Anyway what worries me is that I know the initial breedings are ment to take place no longer than 24 hours apart, and I'm now worried that she could be impregnated in both uteral horns, even though the time difference wasn't that big. What are the chances of this happening?

Answer
Hi Faye,
 This is possible,but I wouldn't worry about it until she delivers her young.  There shouldn't be any complications with this,just make sure that you now seperate the male and female.  Also remember that she can get pregnant again after she delivers the same day!  
 As long as they are seperated from now on in...she'll be fine...Elizabeth
