HELP ME! THIS TIME LEXI!

Ok this is going to sound real bad on me.
But when i went to get Lexi and Leroy there was one other rabbit with them that the owners were not rehoming.
It was a boy and at the time because Leroy is neutured i never thought anything of it.

Now after time Lexis belly has gotten quite big and her nipples swelled up.
Could she be pregnant?
she has had 2 litters before i got her... never came to my mind that she may be pregnant now?

I need serious help!
 
:shock: Sounds like she could be! Has she started making a nest or anything?
If she is you'd better seperate her from the buck soonish. Hope it all works out ok :D
 
How long have you had Lexi Amy?

Gestation period for a Bun is 30-32 days.
A bun having a phantom pregnancy can 'swell up' and even produce milk :shock:
There are 2 ways of trying to establish if she is pregnant or not:
Wait and see.....if you have had her for more than 32 days and no babies appear you can assume she is not pregnant
Take her to your Vet and ask if he/she can palpate her uterus to try to feel any babies.
Personally I'd go for the latter option. If babies are on the way its best to know sooner rather than later.

Aww poor you! Lots of hugs for you :)
If she is pregnant just think of all the cute little buns at the end of it :love: Would you be able to keep them?

Didn't know that :shock: I just thought it was them thinking they are and making a nest. Learn something new everyday! :lol:
 
Ive had her for like 3 weeks.
And i know this sounds bad but i just cant afford anything BIG at the vets untill i know for certain as of millies bills :cry:
 
Hmm, then I'd say prepare for bunny babies rather than just wait and see, just incase she is pregnant.
 
I dont think she is pregnant. Just a feeling-and I hope I am right!!!
Also, since you got her about 3 weeks ago, you should have seen signs before this point right. And that is if she mated the day you picked her up (which is unlikely)

The odds are in your favor, but you still have to be prepared!

IF she is pregnant she will only have about 1 week left of pregnancy so yep i think it is too late.
But she will be spayed straight after!
 
if it is true pregnancy, pre-plan now by asking other members here to take your baby or line up some rabbit rehome around your area. Plan ahead. Post notice in bulletin board in grocery store and at your vet's office saying you want to give away upcoming babies.

Although i wouldnt charge much for them i dont want to just 'give' them away.
I want to make sure they have lovely suitable homes lined up for them. :D
 
You don't necessary see signs when a doe is pregnant. I had a bun that made a nest 30mins before she gave birth.
Good luck Amy and lets hope she isn't but I am sure we will all be able to give you advice when you need it. You will have all this to deal with if you go into rescuing, so at least you are getting a taster before you decide :wink: :D :lol: :lol:
