What are the signs of a phantom pregnancy in a rabbit?
The main sign of phantom pregnancy is nesting. The bunny will start to pluck out the hair on her chest and tummy to build the nest with. In the case of some rabbits they will pull hair out of a bonded mate to nest build also. You will often see a nesting bunny frantically running around with a mouth full of hay to take to her nest. If you bunny is nesting without reason (i.e. she has not been bred, she is spayed, she has not had any contact with a male) then you can pretty much be sure it is a phantom pregnancy. A phantom or false pregnancy can be detected in several ways. If you have not bred your doe you KNOW it is a false pregnancy. If she goes over 32 days it is a false pregnancy. You can palpate at 15 days and if you do not feel babies but she insists on nesting you will know it is a false or phantom pregnancy. A doe having a false pregnancy will nest just like a doe that is pregnant. I have witnessed some that tend to go overboard nearly stripping themselves naked because no babies come. The doe that you determine to be having a phantom or false pregnancy should be bred immediately. There should be no 'bonded mate' for a doe with phantom pregnancy every rabbit should have it's own cage.
Why is your rabbit nesting?
There could be one of two reasons.1. She is PregnantIf she is pregnant you will see babies within a few days.or2.

If she is already spayed she will most likely stop building and move onto some new project in a few days!

Will a female rabbit kill a desexed male rabbit if another male rabbit is around not in the same cage with the female and desexed male?
One Opinion: Yes! If you plan on introducing a new rabbit to your female, please respect the principles of bonding (i.e. putting their cages near, then letting one bunny at a time out to scent the other one, etc.; there are many websites that describes the process in length). If you do not do so, they can attack each other and seriously hurt or maim each other. The sex of your rabbit has no importance in this matter.Another Opinion: I am a rabbit breeder and have found there are zero issues but only IF the female is placed in the males cage for mating females are very territorial of there space.
