How to Tell if My Rabbit is Pregnant?

Check whether your rabbit has been with an intact male in the past 28 to 33 days

Watch for nesting behavior, such as gathering hay, fur, or bedding

Notice increased territorial or protective behavior

Look for a fuller, rounder abdomen as pregnancy progresses

Feel for small, marble-like fetuses only if you are trained or guided by a veterinarian

Observe a sudden increase in appetite

Watch for fur pulling from the chest, belly, or sides

Monitor for restlessness or changes in activity level

Check for weight gain over time

Have a rabbit-savvy veterinarian confirm the pregnancy

Avoid stressing or handling the rabbit excessively if pregnancy is suspected
