that will always be the female that is pregnant with her kits
It is difficult to determine if the rabbit is pregnant based on nest-building behavior alone. The rabbit may have removed the nest from the box to let it dry if it got wet from the rain. Keep an eye on the rabbit for other signs of pregnancy, such as nesting material being pulled from her fur or an increase in appetite.
No, the mother makes a new nest of grass, leaves, and her own fur 24-48 hours before she gives birth, she uses this nest until the kits are weaned. If she is a domestic rabbit, you must clean the nest away to keep her healthy, she will make a new one with the next litter. If she is a wild rabbit, she will leave the nest and make a burrow until the next litter is due, then she will build the new nest in her current burrow. Rabbits dig new burrows very often to avoid predators.
I am almost sure that my female rabbit changed to a male. There are 3 rabbits in that hutch, the mother and two of her daughters. I have noticed the mother mount one of her daughters multiple times. Then, yesterday, i went out to check on the rabbits and found a nest of 3 babies and the daughter that was mounted was giving them milk.
An expectant rabbit will typically begin to build her nest a few days before giving birth, usually around 28-31 days of pregnancy. It is important to provide her with suitable materials such as hay, straw, and soft bedding to help her create a comfortable and secure nest for her upcoming litter.
It is best to avoid frequent handling and cleaning of a baby rabbit's nest unless absolutely necessary. If the nest appears soiled or damaged, wait until the mother rabbit leaves to feed and quickly replace the bedding with dry hay or straw to prevent baby rabbits from getting cold or exposed. Do not remove baby rabbits from the nest unless there is a clear indication that they are abandoned or in distress.
it is not actually eating it's fur it is just making a nest for it's babies or sometimes it makes the nest for itself to keep it warm trust me i have a rabbit
A rabbit would not eat its nest, only rabbit food or food.
It is pregnant, give the rabbit extra bedding where she has made her nest, be expecting up to 10 babies.
To safely and effectively get rid of a rabbit nest in your yard, you should wait until the nest is empty before removing it. Avoid disturbing the nest while the mother rabbit is still caring for her babies. Once the nest is empty, wear gloves and carefully remove it, placing the nest material in a sealed bag and disposing of it properly.

No... shell have a nother nest to have when she has a next litter. Because she would want her bunnies that are born to have that nest.
If a doe has a false pregnancy she will build a nest.
A male rabbit would not make the actual nest for the female but he would be very happy for his fur to be pulled out for the babies to have a comfortable nest. Any rabbit in the pen wouldn't mind the mother rabbit pulling there fur out for a nest because rabbits LOVE to be respected.
Absolutely nothing. She is doing exactly what she should be. She will have her babies in the next couple of days! The best thing you can do is try not to worry!
Very seldom does a rabbit make a nest and then not have babies after 5 days. Your rabbit may have had a false pregnancy.
