The lump you are referring to is probably her dewlap. A dewlap is loose skin that often develops on the neck of the female rabbit. They are found mainly on female rabbits in certain breeds, the males are also allowed a small one. Its purpose is to give another area for the doe to pull fur from when she is making her nest for her kits.

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.

Do rabbits feel pressured if you are watching them mate my male rabbit has been mating with my female rabbit for nearly a year now but my female wont get pregnant is it cause he is under pressure?

some rabbits do get under pressured when there is people watching them. some times it is better to turn your back on them or leave them in a cage together for the day and night ( if one of the animals share a cage then move that animal into another cage ) also if you took your rabbits inside then let them mate when you was not in the room that might also help, i am breeding my rabbits so i know how annoying it is when they don't get pregnant first time. good luck xx

What protein should you feed rabbits?

Rabbits get all the protein they need from their pellets. Baby rabbits, nursing and pregnant rabbits, rabbits on a no-pellet diet, and underweight rabbits (under the advice of a vet) need extra protein: they get that from alfalfa hay and fresh alfalfa (also clover, vetch, and other legume hays/greens). Other forms of protein are not healthy for rabbits. Do not feed your rabbit any meat products (including dairy, yoghurt, etc) or legume fruit (like beans, peas, etc).
