Question
how long does it take for a female rabbitt to get pregnant?

Answer
Dear Vanessa,

Rabbits are induced ovulators.  That means that the act of mating causes them to ovulate, and pregnancy is almost a sure thing if they mate.  It takes less than a minute.

Gestation lasts 28 - 31 days.  Please be sure to read:
