I know that to paulping the rabbit is dangerous if she is 3 week, is their any other way to tell if she is pregnant other than waiting till she nests. And i dont wanna handle her too much.

A rabbits gestation period is only 28-35 days anyway, so you'll know for sure in a week or two I would definately remove the male for now, as he can impregnate the mother immediately after she gives birth, which puts an unfair strain on her. Some bunnies start making a nest up to a week before giving birth, though some wait until later. This can also be a sign of false pregnancy of course. ____________ Georgia, Honey Bear, Rosie, Obi, Timber, Mia, Oscar and Mango XXXX Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2007 12:12 pm Beckyess Grooming Expert Joined: Oct 20, 2006 Posts: 535 Age: 38 No.Of Pets: 4 Pet Types: dogs Karma: 11 Thank Location: Somersetshire! Medals: None 1712 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Well if you have a male then the simple way is to put her in with him, if he mates her she isn't pregnant! However, that could cause her to miscarry so I'd wait, you've only just got her so let her settle in first before mating her.

Karma: 14 Thank Medals: None 2168 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Fielding wrote: Ive got 7 i cnt keep another one as long as they go to a good home ill be ok Do you have any idea how HARD it is to find homes? There are TOO MANY rabbits already, and therefore any not sold will be handed straight back to you, and this is very likely if theres a biggish litter. Also, to assume the local shop will take them, is a VERY big mistake, as they already have their own trusted suppliers, so what makes you think they would they take yours? Please, please reconsider what you are doing, you clearly have very limited knowledge in what you are doing. Offloading them to a petshop is totally irresponsible as they could end up in a very neglectful home, as many rabbits, particularly fluffy lionheads who are bought on impulse. 1 in 3 rabbits live in inhumane conditions because many people assume they are very cuddley, short lived and cheap, non of which they are! There is no 'nice way' to put it, other than you are a classic example of a backyard breeder. Also, what if they don't all sell, the petshop will hand them back to you, so what will you, dump them or break their necks? I can see why you want to breed for the sake of fluffy little babies, but if we all let in to our selfishness, we'd have an even worse overpopulation of rabbits. Please, please just don't bother breeding, you are 17 and don't have the independance that allows you to breed more responsibly. You said yourself you have no room, yet you are prepare to breed without any thought of what will be done with those who don't sell or are bred with a deformity. The last thing rabbits as a whole need are more backyard breeders. Prehaps you should voleenter at your local rabbit rescue and see what I mean. I am sick and tired this exact situation happening all at the expense of the poor bunnies. Too many have to be killed in rescues to make room for more. If you consider yourself a true rabbit lover, you will understand, if not, I guess you will continue to breed, so if the latter, do some proper research.

How many rabbits that are sitting in rescues WITHOUT a home? How many rabbits who have life long illnesses caused by breeding ANY two rabbits together for 'cute little babies'?

Some breeders are,to put it, bastards but because of my age i am not incapable of being a good breeder, people work from the bottem trying thinks, taking risks and dealing with the consicuenses, if i dont get rid of the litter i will keep them in order to try get them a new home i would never kill them. I have the room my dad has 32% shares in microsoft, this means we are "well off" so therefore i can care for my rabbits alot better than most, they have the best food and a great amount of space, judging me with my age is like judging a book by the cover. I am capable of having extra rabbits and this "phase" of breeding is to see if i can do it correctly.

Medals: None 1712 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: The only problem I have with this scenario, i.e. the original poster, is that it appears to be breeding for breedings sake. When you breed animals, any animal, then the sole aim should be for the betterment of that particular breed/species and not simply for sale. I used to breed rabbits for sale to the public, I sold direct never to pet shops, but once I realised that people simply couldn't look after their rabbits properly I stopped breeding them. It only took me a couple of years to work that one out and I simply wouldn't do it again. I breed Miniature Poodles but I do so only when I want a puppy, I also donate puppies to Hearing Dogs for Deaf People. I would say if you don't have room for any more rabbits then don't breed.
