Well I got two rabbits from the pet store. For Valentine's day gifts from my Fiance. They had told us before we took them home that they were both males.So I named mine Jack and My fiance named his Daxtor. Well I noticed after they were comfortable in their new home. My jack started to hump Daxtor. Well I looked online what this could be and how I could check the sex myself. And I found out that Jack was a boy and Daxtor was a girl. Soon fter this Daxtor started to grow alot faster than Jack. She's starting to act different and when Jack tries to mound her again she refuses him. And she won't let me or my fiance pick her up anymore. Could she be pregnant? She's alot heavier and her stomach area feels different.

A big chance she is pregnant - I'd take her to the vet just to confirm and ensure that there isnt something else going on, but I used to work in a petshop and beleive me the saying is true 'breed like rabbits'!

the odds are very good that she is breed and you need to get a nest box for her. there are ways you can palapitate her and know for sure . email me with a way to contact you and i can try to explain how and what you can expect to happen over the next few weeks.

If she is refusing to be picked up this sounds to me like she might be pregnant

If she is pregnant ,which is highly possible, lay her tummy down on the table, and fell her lower stomach gently. You should be able to feel the babies inside her by her 3rd week.Separate the buck now from the doe as he will kill the babies when they are born. Also get him neutered.gestation of rabbits is around 31 days sometimes up to 33. Make sure she had a hideout she can go into and make her nest and try not to disturb her bedding but clean out her toilet.If she does give birth do not touch the babies for up to 2 weeks as she may take offense and kill them. It is not unusual for a doe to kill and eat her first litter anyway, this is natural. if you do find dead put some rubber gloves on and rub your hands in her mess and remove them. Be careful she does not get aggressive with you when you put your hands in to feed her or clean her toilet.
