Today i was out with the rabbits and i saw one of the female bunnies sniffing the grey bunnies ***.About 3 hours later i went out and the grey one attacked me none of the other bunnies did and im worried she might be pregnant.
We took them to the vets about 3 days ago and the vets think that there is one boy..the boy is going tomorrow.
Is it possible that he could have made the grey bunny pregnant?
Answers:
Absolutely! Bunnies multiply, well, like rabbits! They don't have to be very old, and it only takes one male one minute and you will be the mom to a few kits. You need to watch your young bunny, take her to the vet, or ask the vet if she is old enough or if it will cause her any problems. She may eat the young bunnies if she is too young when they are born, or they may be stillborn, but bunnies do it so well, you may end up with healthy bunnies. If so, you need to find homes for them right away or you will end up with a house full of rabbits again.
yes. any time you have a male around a female this can happen .
yes because they breed whenever they get the chance to. So it is possible that it might be pregnet. And they always protect themselves when they are pregnet so that could be the reason why u got attacked
i dont think so as rabbits tend to reach breeding age at 5/6 mths depending on the sex.they are getting to the age where they will fight over territory, especially males.i would split them up cos the more there is, the more they Will fight over space,that's more likely the reason it attacked,mine use to do it when i put my hand in to feed mum plus babies.
if the male organs of the rabbit are formed he might as well got her pregnant, rabbits are known for their way to multiply easily, take the female rabbit to the vet so that things will clear out instead of making assumptions because if she is pregnant them you must seperate them.
it is unlikly, but it is possible.
normally bucks genitals haven't dropped at such a young age, making it impossible for him to be able to reproduce, its normaly only around the 11 - 13 week that the males are able to reproduce, but that doesn't mean there aren't exceptions to the rule. however, you say your vet THINKS there is a male, if his genitals had dropped it would be obvious whether you had a boy or not, so you either have a bad vet, or he is generally too young to be able to reproduce.
the females however, are sexually viable from as little as 6 weeks old. they can be impregnated from anytime after this. so its more than likly that if you do have a pregnant bunny, she was caught by the father, rather than the other male you might have.
she is however far to young to breed, normally you shouldn't breed a rabbit until she is 6 months old, that way you know her bones are able to withstand the strain she will be put under.
i breed rabbits myself, and have fond that most rabbits don't become aggressive with their owners until around the 25 day of pregnancy mark, they will however be aggressive to the male rabbit within 24 hours of mating. so the fact that she attacked you, isn't likely to be from pregnancy hormones, more likely that she was scared, either by you, or by the other rabbits that she apparently lives with.
there is a possability that she maybe pregnant,but you will have only 30 days to find out!
good luck with that!
its a strong possibility that the female is pregnant... they usally only become aggressive when they are pregnant. your vet would know if it is pregnant. rabbits multiply like mad thats why people say the expression.. rabbits only have to be about this old to start having babies because they dont have to be very old at all.. so this is a strong possibility. id take her to ur local vets to get it confirmed.
