know if your rabbit is pregnant..

STEP 1.Wait for 10 to 14 days after the rabbits are bred to check the doe, or female rabbit, for pregnancy.

Step 2.Use your thumb and forefinger to gently feel the lower abdomen of the female rabbit. This must be done during the 2 week time frame mentioned in step one so you do not risk injuring the developing kittens later in pregnancy. It is best to practice this prior to the breeding so you will know what is normal to feel and what is not.

Step 3.Feel for small, marble sized areas in the lower abdomen. These bumps are normally found very shallow or at mid-depth. If you feel two or more of these bumps, your doe is carrying kittens.

STEP 4.Watch the doe very carefully each day. You are waiting to see when she starts pulling fur from her belly or carrying grass or straw in her mouth.

STEP 5.Place a box in the cage immediately when you see her behaving in this fashion. The nesting box can be anything from a small cardboard box to an old crate. Once this behavior is exhibited, your doe will be giving birth within 3 days.

STEP 1.Know that rabbits come in many different breeds. See the website in Resources below to learn more about the various breeds.

STEP 2.Consider that bunnies are ready to be adopted by the time they reach eight weeks of age. There may be some exceptions to why it may take longer, but this is the average.

STEP 3.Consider getting a bunny as early as possible. They are much easier to train when they are young. It gets more difficult as they get older. In fact, bunnies are most aggressive at six months of age.

STEP 4.Searching for a healthy bunny and take a good look at her eyes and nose. They should be free from crust and not runny.

STEP 5.Know that bunny urine should be clear. Rabbits tend to have a strong smelling urine, but it should not be cloudy. Pellets should be firm and hard, not runny.

STEP 6.Be aware that rabbits can be spayed or neutered just like cats and dogs. This is a good idea because rabbits multiply quickly. Neutering also reduces aggressiveness in male rabbits, just like in dogs and cats. Bunnies require vaccinations, so setting an appointment with a veterinarian doctor is a good idea.

STEP 7.Take proper care of your pet bunny to ensure a long life with the family. Rabbits do have the ability to become attached to their caregiver, so they can return their love.
