OK our mini e lop doe has had 2 successful litters all 5 babies Grew out both litters.
Our doe got out a while ago and I found her just sitting next to our other bucks cage I didn't think anything of it at the time as the buck was nowhere near her and in his box of the cage.
But 2 weeks ago she started digging so I popped her nesting box in the cage and she made a nest then pulled fur 4 days ago but no babies yet the other 2 litters she pulled fur and had the babies straight away
Because I didn't write the date down that she got out I have no idea what day she should be at I have tried papating and sometimes I think I can feel babies and then a week later I can't
Any suggestions we just wait it out and see what happens? False pregnancy i just thought she would have had babies by now if she was following her last 2 litters. We would like to rebreed her soon but don't want to harm her if she is already pregnant.
 
I do not believe that re-breeding will harm her if she is pregnant.

BUT...I'd suggest leaving the nestbox in until you are sure that it's been at least 35 days since she was loose.
Better safe than sorry.
