I have two 7 month old JW rabbits. They live together in their outside run along with our guinea pig. I then noticed that Bun Bun (male) and Bonnie (female) were being very romantic and literally "doing it like rabbits". I researched and read every bit of information I could get my hands on. I moved her into a hutch inside with us where she is away from Bun bun and warm and cozy. I have put a nest box in however she seems to think I have supplied her with a private bathroom... I keep cleaning it out and she keeps doing it. she has played around with the straw a lot, not massive mouthfuls but always moving around pieces. She has pulled out random pieces of hair but nothing really to shock me into thinking its an actual nest coming together. She also seems to be doing it all over her hutch and not in one place. She is 31 days today and no sign of babies. I tried to feel if I could feel anything in her tummy last night but she was not impressed and let me know all about it when she bit me... I don't know if she is or isn't pregnant and if I should just put her back outside with her buddies. The little while i was holding her i didn't really feel anything in her tummy but i don't really know what I am feeling for and I don't want to hurt her or any potential kits. She is extremely fluffy and with her being so agitated i didn't go digging to see her nipples but they def feel bigger in my hand. She has put on weight but that could also be because she is not in the run and she is by herself so no sharing food.... Any advice here. I know rabbits can go longer than 31 days but i heard with the smaller breeds its unlikely....
Smaller breeds go just as long as bigger breeds in my experence. If she was bred in the evening you wont count that day, but would start the following day (thats what I do). Its not uncommon for first timers to feel weird and hold them in a little longer, but my guess is in the next 24-48 hrs you will see them if shes pregnant. Biting is a good sign, although it doesnt determine pregnancy
