Can a rabbit be pregnant with more than one litter at once?
i truly don't believe so Correction: From my research i believe they can. This is because rabbits have two ducts leading to their ovaries. They can be pregnant with one litter in one duct and a few days or a couple weeks later get pregnant with another litter in the other duct. Improved: I've also heard that despite that the above correction is correct, the babies do not always make it. I'm not too sure why this happens, but I think it's because mal-nutrition, or some sort of deficiency or something. I think this only happens when they doe kindles tpo both litters in under a few days apart.
Will a mother rabbit mate with one of her male babies when its old enough?
Yes, because once the hormones take over she can't help it. It almost happened with my rabbits. A female rabbit is able to become pregnant again as soon as she's given birth to her kits (baby rabbits).
What if a male rabbit gets on a 7 week old rabbit could this rabbit be pregnant?
It depends if the female is going through her 'menstrual' cycle at the time of mating. Also if either the male or female is spayed it is unlikely the female is pregnant. A female rabbit is basically 'in season' all the time. As far as a menstrual cycle goes, I don't know where you got that term. It is not a rabbit term. Sometimes breeding with the moon is your best bet for large litters.
Is there any danger that a cats pregnant immediately after having kittens?
Yes it is possible for a cat to become pregnant again just after it has kittens. the person I got my cats off the mother got pregnant again with in about a week so yes it is possible. However, this causes a great strain on the mother as she will not have time to properly recuperate from her last litter. This could cause potential danger to the mother and the next litter of kittens.
How often can a rabbit have babies?
Does (female rabbits) can get pregnant the very day they give birth, and gestation lasts about 30 days; so, theoretically, a doe can get pregnant once a month (twelve times a year). Practically speaking, though, no rabbit could sustain this kind of activity for long, as pregnancy and nursing takes a lot of energy.
Your rabbit just had a litter of babies and now she is pregnant again will the privious litter harm the new babies?
no your rabbit that hade the litter before the ones your having now will not hurt the new litter because they are family as well they won't hurt each other. but when your mother rabbit has the new litter just try to put it somewhere else just in case that is what i did
Can a rabbit be pregnant but then not give birth?
Yes, it is very rare but can happen. The term for such a baby is a "mummified kit". Again, very rare and most often causes the doe to become infertile/sterile. Most people who "know" their rabbit is pregnant and then don't end up with a litter didn't have a pregnant doe. False pregnancies can also lead people to worry the litter is "stuck", but again, the doe wasn't actually pregnant.

Are you supposed to separate the male and female when the female is going to have birth?
Yes because the male sometimes eats the newborns and because if she gets pregnant again and has another litter before those are mature she will abandon them

Will your gerbils mate while raising their litter of pups?
they will if you don't take the male gerbil out of the cage after around less than a two weeks because if they mate after the female gerbil has her pups than they will mate again and she will not take care of the first litter of pups.
Should you keep a male rabbit in with the female when she has babies?
No, it'll be possible for the female rabbit to become pregnant again 12 hours after giving birth to her litter. Unless you want even more rabbits a month later... bad idea.
Why is your newly mothered rabbit starting to pull her fur out again?

Should you separate a buck and a doe when she is pregnant?
Once the doe and buck have mated you should separate them. ESPECIALLY when the babies are born. The buck can trample the babies when there still hairless or when they're older the buck will try to mate with the does of the litter.
What is the length of pregnancy in a rabbit?

If your rabbit has had lots of babies and you're worried that she might die what should you do?
If your rabbit has had a large litter of babies and is taking good care of them there is nothing to worry about. Having a large litter will not harm a healthy mother rabbit, just make sure she has plenty of good quality food, lots of hay and water to keep her fit and well to feed the babies. If you mean she has had many litters of babies over a few years then it is time to have her spayed. If she is living with a male rabbit who is unfixed you need to separate them before she becomes pregnant again.
What does it mean when your rabbit stops using the litter tray?
the litter pan is probably to dirty for him to get into it, but if it isn't what i do when my rabbits stop getting into their litter pan and it's not dirty is i move it to a different part of the cage and they start getting into it again. so maybe put it in a different spot and clean it. if your rabbit doesn't use it after this he could be sick.
