If your female rabbit is pulling fur and can't be pregnant, she may be having a false pregnancy.

False pregnancies are stressful for rabbits. Spaying the rabbit will prevent false pregnancies, and ovarian cancer, and have other benefits.

There are other reasons your rabbit may be pulling her fur:

She could have parasites or other skin problems. Bring the rabbit to a vet for treatment.

She could be suffering from stress. Learn how to ease a rabbit's stress, and consider what improvements you might make to her lifestyle.

Is your rabbit is pregnant she rabbit has built a nest but she took her nest out of the box the day after it rained does this mean she is not pregnant or is she letting the nest dry since it is wet?

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.


When pet rabbits get angry?

If your rabbit is female, she could be experiencing a phantom pregnancy. This happens when she has been in contact with a male. She will show all symptoms and behaviors or a real pregnancy. Rabbits can also get aggressive once they reach sexual maturity so i would advise you to get him/her neutered I would suggest that you take your rabbit to a veterinary practice for a thorough check over as he/she may in fact be in pain which would make them stop eating and lose weight as well as become slightly aggressive.


What happens when a mother rabbit leaves five 10-day-old baby rabbits alone?

The mother rabbit will likely return periodically to nurse and care for her babies. It's important not to disturb the nest as this may lead the mother to abandon her babies. The babies can survive without their mother for short periods as long as they are kept warm and dry.


How long can the rabbits be left alone if somebody just visits them everyday for food and water?

If it is a baby rabbit (under 4 years) you should keep it inside at all times. But if it is over 4 years only keep it inside if it is raining or snowing. Keeping it the garage is only good if it has a light AND a heater. House rabbit - If the rabbit has been in a house when it was born, this is called a house rabbit, if you get it from a friend or the pet shop they will tell you this. In ALL cases the rabbit should be kept inside. Make sure it has a suitable cage that the pet can run in and out from. Only let the rabbit out for runs in the garden. House rabbits need : water, grain, carrots, veg, sawdust and of course, a cage (not a hut) I don't think this (previous) answered your question. A 'BABY' rabbit is UNDER 6 months of age!!!! A rabbit meets sexual maturity at six months. A four year old rabbit is rapidly reaching 'old age'. Rabbits will do quite well if left alone with only daily visits for food and water and weekly visits to clean cages, IF there is more than one rabbit in your rabbitry. Each needs their own cage but they do need a neighbor for company. You won't be able to stay away however because they are so cute and interesting you will be wanting to visit, hold and watch them all the time. Also, on the house rabbit info, any rabbit you bring into your house (young preferably) can become a house rabbit. Rabbits are very territorial and will 'housebreak' themselves rather quickly. They need a cage for their potty an d to lock them in when no one is home, (This is for their protection) they need water, pellets, an occasional treat such as carrot, dry bread or cheerios and a cage with potty that either has sand or sawdust. (do not use kitty litter, some rabbits will eat it and some kitty litters can be toxic.)


Can you raise a cat and a rabbit together?

Yes. Many seemingly incompatible species can be amazingly happy together, especially if you have them from babyhood. Though if it doesn't work out you might need to replace the rabbit occasionally.

Can you mate your rabbit though it has a false pregnancy?

A female rabbit can begin nesting and showing signs of preparing for birth after mating, whether conception took place or not. Mating will cause the female to begin spontanous ovulation so unless the male is sterile, she will most likely conceive on the second attempt.

How do you get rid of milk after phantom pregnancy in dogs?

The only thing you can do is leave it alone and let nature takes its course. Her body will reabsorb the milk. This is calling "drying up". Under no circumstance should you touch her nipples or try to squeeze milk from them, as this will just stimulate her body to produce more.
