On of my friends rabbits managed to get together with the other overnight(a 1 week neutered boy) so we think theres a fair chance shes now pregnant. Apparently shes already nest building (including fur plucking) and it's only been 2 weeks since the unfortunate encounter. Does this mean she is pregnant or could it be a false pregnant (what there hoping for).
Also she's a mini rabbit and the father is medium sized, could this cause complications? I did advise them to spay her back when they first suspected she was pregnant but they said their vet refused as she was too young (only 13 weeks - i did say this was old enough but they didn't want to go against there vet). Anyway they've decided to leave it to see if they're going to be lucky or not.
So what else should they look out for, will she grow much in size (she is tiny and so far no growing). Does the nest building mean she's deffinaitly pregnant and will the baby's be big like the father causing complications.
Any advice i can pass on would be great, they seem reluctant to try this forum so i thought i'd try for them.
Thanks
