How long for pregnant rabbits...

Bean got into Belle and humped her for a split second this morning.. Turned out they were infact boy and girl. They're booked in to be neutered in 3 weeks time. Any chance she would be pregnant?? How long is a bun pregnancy and would the vet realise if she was pregnant before doing the op? I was cleaning them out and set up the run so they had half the bedroom each, but it wasn't as secure as i thought. I was keeping an eye on them as i was cleaning and i saw bean sneak through and immediately rushed over to split them up but he definately got about 3 little humps in before i pounced on them :(
 
Yup there is a good chance she is. Rabbits are pregnant for about 4 weeks only.
My Mo had his wicked way with Freezy for a split second. I didnt think much of it because right at THE moment, she chucked him of his back and certain stuff went flying! :shock:

Imagine my shock about 4 weeks later when I was in bed poorly and my ex came upstairs to say Freezy had babies! Sure she'd been building a nest but she'd do that at odd times throughout the year and I never thought anything of it. I would definitely make the vet aware of the posibility.
 
thanks guys that page is really helpful. I'm a bit scared i don't want her to be pregnant as Belle & Bean are brother and sister.. what complications does this involve?? I feel so guilty. Txting vet as we speak (she has to translate before she gets back to me). If i took her to the vet in a week or so would she be able to tell?
 
There is every chance she is pregnant - only takes seconds. If you waited 2 weeks, it would mean that she would be half way through her pregnancy.
