Your rabbit has already had babies and 3 months later is pulling her fur out and you have no male could she be pregnant again?

Answer 1

Probably. A doe can get pregnant at 3 months. Pulling fur is a sign of nest making.

but it could be a phantom pregnancy.

I have 3 girls and 1 boy rabbit and my rabbits are all siblings. My girls started pulling out their fur and they gave birth, so ya, she is pregnant.

I have seen many rabbits go through "false pregnancies". They will pull fur and make a nest, but won't have a litter. FP's also only take about 15 days where real pregnancies take 28-32 days. 4 months is the bare minimum (not 3 as stated above) age for small rabbits. Certain breeds like dwarfs, Holland lop, Mini Rex to name a few fall under this category. Other breeds, like the giants, take 8-10 months before they are able to reproduce.

Pulling fur is usually a red flag for pregnancies, but is not a 100% sure sign of it. 4 months is very very young for pregnancies to take place. (And if she is pregnant, since she is so young the litter may be small... or she may have difficulties kindling/birthing the litter)

Answer 2

No, your rabbit can't be pregnant if she hasn't been near a male rabbit. There are other reasons that rabbits pull their fur out:

• False pregnancy - something female rabbits do because of their sex hormones, even when they haven't been near a male rabbit. False pregnancies are stressful for rabbits, and stress leads to a low quality of life and even illness, so it's a good idea to spay your rabbit so that it won't go through false pregnancies anymore. There are many good reasons to spay/neuter rabbits.
• Parasites or skin problems - your rabbit should see a vet with experience and knowledge in rabbits, because many of the treatments that are safe for cats/dogs are very dangerous for rabbits.
• Stress, extreme boredom - stress leads to a low quality of life in all animals, and can lead to illness or self-destructive behaviour (like pulling out its own fur and worse), so it's important to minimise stress in your rabbit's life. Sickness can also lead to self-destructive behaviour and stress, so you should look for other signs of illness in your rabbit and be prepared to bring your bunny to a vet with experience and knowledge in rabbits.

Answer 3

It could be a possible phantom pregnancy (false pregnancy) normally within a few days or even hours of pulling a fur out she'll make a nest and within a day or two again or hours she should kindle (give birth)

some signs of pregnancy are:

• Eating and drinking x2 as much
• Very aggressive towards the male (the rabbits i have had are always grunting at the male if they're pregnant and will bite)
• will attempt to bite you if you try and feel her stomach
• Shaking
• pulling fur out
• making a nest

Some rabbits go through this even when it is a phantom pregnancy, it is best to get her checked out at the vet

The short answer is 'Yes she probably is pregnant.' She will have babies or one huge baby (fetal Giantism, usually happens to first time does that are bred too young) within days to 1 week after pulling fur. Good luck to you. Rabbits should always be separated into their own cages (even if there are 2 bucks or 2 does) by the 8-10 week age range.

Does do not ALWAYS act aggressive when they are pregnant AND trying to bite you when you feel their stomache when they are pregnant IS NOT normal behavior. I think rabbit girl just has an aggressive doe period.

She probaly is pregnant and may be making a nest
