How can you tell when your rabbit is pregnant -- do they get fat?
Only very experienced rabbit handlers can gently palpitate the rabbit's abdomen to feel the little baby rabbits. If you do not know what you are doing, you could hurt the mother and kill the babies by doing this. If you think your female rabbit might be pregnant, provide it with a nest box so it can start building a nest. A few days before she is ready to deliver, she will start pulling out her own fur and padding the box with hay. Be aware however, that some female rabbits have 'false pregnancies' and may start to build a nest even though they are not pregnant.

What does the term 'the rabbit died' mean?
It means, after a pregnancy test, the women is found to be pregnant. Around 1927 it was discovered that if you injected the urine of a pregnant woman into a rabbit, there would be corpora hemorrhagica in the ovaries of the rabbit. These bulging masses on the ovaries could not be seen with out killing the rabbit to inspect the ovaries, so invariably, every rabbit died, even if the woman wasn't pregnant. The phrase, "The rabbit died," came to be a euphemism for a positive pregnancy test after the late 1920 and early 1930s. Source: About.comIt is slang for saying someone is pregnant - the original test involved injecting an actual female rabbit with the urine of the woman who suspected she was pregnant. If the woman actually was pregnant, the rabbit would react to the pregnancy hormones - this did not kill the rabbit, but when scientists first invented this test, the only way to examine the rabbit's ovaries was to kill and dissect it. People misunderstood this whole process and thought that the rabbit died because of the pregnancy hormones. Nowadays, of course, you just buy a pregnancy test at your local drugstore.
My rabbit might be 2 weeks pregnant- she is plucking alittle fir and make a nest- but she was with the buck when she wasn't in heat- is she pregnant?
It's possible that your rabbit is pregnant if she is plucking fur and making a nest. However, the presence of a male rabbit does not necessarily mean she is pregnant, as mating can occur even when the female is not in heat. The best way to confirm pregnancy is through a vet check or by observing signs of pregnancy and behavior changes over time.
Why are your female rabbits nesting when no male present?

False pregnancies are physically and emotionally stressful on rabbits. A rabbit who thinks she's pregnant may also become aggressive and territorial and will be difficult to handle. Putting an end to false pregnancies is one among many reasons why it's widely recommended that you spay your rabbit.

They will start to pull fur from there stomach and bottom area to make a nest, They can be temperamental too, (eg. Grunting when you go near them or not wanting to be touched) It is quite common for bunnys to have phantom pregnancies but generally it is better to get a vet to check them over just incase. Do not try to feel for the babies yourself as this can severely damage and even kill them. The vet will do it professianally. Or if you cant afford a vet then you will have to wait and see.

Will rabbits build nest if not pregnant?
Yes, male and female rabbits have nipples, although they may be hard to find because they're very small under the fur; the nipples of a nursing female rabbit will be much larger and easier to find. Another word for nipple is "teat" but this word is usually only used to refer to the nipples of a nursing mother.
What are the dangers of keeping a pregnant female rabbit with the male?
You should never leave a male and female rabbit together, after she is bred he will continue to pester her for sex. She could get irritated and bite him even castrating him if she gets mad enough. Each rabbit needs their own space, they are very territorial. And if he is left in the cage with her when she has the babies he could, intentionally or unintentionally, kill the babies. Also she can breed again the same day she has the babies and that is not good for her, the babies she kindles or the babies she will then be carrying.
