Hi my doe made a burrow under her hutch that I never noticed and it went under back of hutch and under neighbour fence. Neighbour has a buck. This happened exactly 3 weeks ago. We were unsure if they bred as neighbour was just as shocked as me to see the 2 of them and we had a good laugh. Today would be day 21 and I have seen her hay stashing and pulling out some fur. Is this too early and could this be a phantom. She had no other symptoms before this

She probably is pregnant. If she’s still very young and/or has never had a litter before she is likely to nest early, she’ll probably make another nest nearer the due date. But don’t destroy the one she’s already made.
You need to prepare for her to kindle by about day 32.

Thank you, kind of freaking out. I love my bunnies but have no idea about babies. My other rabbit didn't appear to go next door and isn't showing any symptoms. I had check on them just half hour before. They are due to be spayed in 4 weeks time. I will keep an eye on them and read up on pregnancy and birth just incase. I have also purchased chicken wire to now put under the soil to prevent them from digging and have brought them indoors to prevent any further mishaps.She probably is pregnant.

It’s always a bit of a gamble when you’re unsure about a rabbit's pregnancy! Just like in a casino, sometimes you need to take a closer look and gather all the information before making a move. If you need any help with science homework while learning more about rabbit care and pregnancy, there are plenty of resources to guide you through it. Best of luck with the bunnies!
