Not always but quite often. Like most mammals bearing live young, giving birth is a painful process for the mother and often is accompanied by at least some bleeding. Often long before the babies are actually born, contractions and the movement of the babies along the birth canal can push out blood and mucus first.

No a rabbit really should not bleed before giving birth. Maybe a tiny bit right before the kit comes out. During the process, yes, some blood, some clots, some bloody fur, just move all of that out of the nest box after the doe is out and done having her kits. Leave the goof fur for warmth of course!

Rabbits do not bleed naturally. Rabbits do not menstruate like people, so any blood should be a cause for concern.

Depending on where your rabbit is bleeding from, this could be a very serious problem. Rabbits can break toenails and bleed from them, and that is not such a worry. However, if your bunny is bleeding from it's mouth, nose, ears or genitals or an open wound, then you should take it to a vet immediatly, as it could be very sick or hurt.

Can rabbits fart?

It is physically impossible for a rabbit to fart. That is why they cannot eat too much protein, they will get gas in their stomach, with no way to release it (because they cannot fart, belch, or vomit) If rabbits get too much gas in their stomach, they will internally bleed. Hope this helps!


Do bunnies menstruate?

Rabbits do not go in season, they are always in season (rabbits are induced ovulators). The only time female rabbits "bleed" is when they are giving birth, or if they are very ill (with an infection or cancer). If your rabbit is bleeding from the genitals (or anywhere, really), bring her to a vet with experience and knowledge in treating rabbits immediately. See the related questions below for help.
