Can rabbit get pregnant twice

Answer 1

The rabbit has 2 uterine horns, leading to the urban myth a rabbit can be pregnant with 2 litters. This is not actually the case.

In extremely rare cases, while a rabbit is pregnant the 2nd Horn can become fertilized, however this will not lead to a 2nd litter. It will actually create a hormonal imbalance and cause the babies in both uteri to not form right, causing her to pass blobs instead of babies at the date of kindling. There is also a chance these "mummified" blobs could cause complications leading to the death of the doe.

Answer 2

absolutely. I have had rabbits who were purposefully bred and then (due to palpating difficulties) bred them again 2 weeks later. Of the few times this has happened, the doe has had the kits 31 days after the second breeding, with the first kits abnormally large, often causing a lot of difficulty with the birth. Many times the kits from the second breeding will die in utero because of the lengthy time taken to give birth.

Answer 3

Yes so if your rabbit is bring her to a great breeder or a vetranarian that is experienced with rabbits because this could hurt her! ( I have been breeding rabbits for 5 long years and had rabbits for 10)

Answer 4

Yes, it is recommended that the male and female rabbit should be separated as soon as they have mated. This is because the male rabbit can become aggressive towards the female and could hurt the babies when they are born.

Answer 5

Male rabbits can mate with female rabbits of the same or different species, if you were to mate, say, a Netherland Dwarf with a Polish, then you would have hybrid baby bunnies, or "kits".

Answer 6

Yes, in theory it is possible. This is not responsible breeding practice, however.

Answer 7

There needs to be both a male and a female rabbit in order to reproduce.

Answer 8

They can mate with several females but DO NOT put them in a cage with more than one female at a time any more can cause death.

Answer 9

A female rabbit cannot be pregnant by two males, because two sperm of a male rabbit cannot be stored in the female womb therefore one male can only pregnant a female rabbit.
