A couple of weeks back I posted that there was a possibility that my Evie bun could be pregnant after her partner Daphne was mis-sexed by me, my family, the vets and generally everyone.
They were seperated straight away, and we hoped that there was minimal chance of pregnancy due to them both being young. All was fine and I had her checked out by the vet who even didn't think she was. She's shown no hint of nest building yet, and I appreciate that rabbits are known as showing no signs of pregnancy due to them being prey animals etc.
However...I picked her up last night when I was sat in the run with her, and I'm either paranoid or her nipples are definately more defined and raised than they have ever been, I know that in other animals this would be a definate sign of pregnancy, however I've been unable to determine if this could be a sign in bunnies.
If they had mated the very last few days they had been together then this would be the week that she is due so I'd rather not stress her by taking her on a long journey to the vets again.
She has a lovely big home and I've provided her with loads of nesting materials if it does happen, I'm just wondering if there are any signs I should be looking for.
Thanks so much for any input, I've had such a stressful time lately with poor Remus that I'm a bit nervous about poor little Evie.
