pregnant bunny

Help! I have two bunnies, a doe and a buck . I was a bit slow dicovering his sex but at 16 weeks old had him neutered,i was just about to get the doe done but noticed strange behaviour.She now does an impression of a guinea pig when you go near her.Suspecting she was pregant I have delayed getting her spayed,now she's pulling out fur a definate sign i think.what i want to know is how long has she got approximately,just from this sign?
 
no idea :shock: if its fantom she could be about 17 days gone (gestation is around 30 days (between 28 and 32) when were they last together?

i would take her to the vets and se what they say they may still be able to spay her in time!
 
The chances are that your doe wont be pregnant. They normaly only pull fur when there ready to give birth. This would mean she has carried for a month, this would only make her far to young to get pregnant. val

mine pulled fur and made a nest two weeks before she gave birth!
 
mine was an accidental litter i didnt know for two weeks thats when her behavior changed it may be different for each rabbit but it sounds like she is a couple of weeks or if its phantom near the end i would think? dont take that as gospel thou xxx
 
its nigh on impossible to tell if a bun is pregnant without putting her back in with a male - if she accepts him she's not... but thats not really a good idea. :lol: , every bun shows different signs of pregnancy some show none, some pull out fur and build a nest almost immediatly, some leave it till after the babies are born and build it around them.

a vet can still spey her if she is prenant so if you don't want babies, i'd get her done to be safe.
