Question
hi there thanks for answering my question!
Please could you tell me the first sighns of pregnancy and ways you can tell when a rabbit is pregnant.
thanks a lot aly :)

Answer
No problem.

Well first signs of pregnancy could include a number of things. A change in attitude, a doe that becomes a little grouchy. Then and increase in food and water intake. They also begin to weigh more. Checking the weight about every 5 days is a tell sign especially if they are gaining at odd intervals. Then around 15-18 days of pregnancy you should be able to feel babies, about the size of a large grape or bigger in the abdomen.
But some are oddballs and show no signs until they are nearly ready to pop.
Hope this helps.
