How much does it cost to take a rabbit to the vet for a pregnancy test?

My sister (5 year old) will not tell the truth weather she did or did not put my male and female rabbit together!!! THe female is acting strange but I want to take her to the vet to see if she really is pregnant. Do ypu know how much about it would cost? Also do you know anything about pregnant rabbits or kits?How much does it cost to take a rabbit to the vet for a pregnancy test?
How long ago did she put them together? After about two weeks you should be able to feel for yourself, it isn't that difficult. Gently slip your hands under your rabbits stomach following the shape of her back legs and position your hands so they are pointing towards her tail with your thumbs on her back so you have a secure hold of her. Pressing her stomach, again gently, you should be able to feel grape size lumps if she is pregnant. Otherwise she'll be fine. If your sister might do this again I'd get the rabbits neutered. They'll be happier in the long run and this won't happen again!How much does it cost to take a rabbit to the vet for a pregnancy test?
Depends on the vet and what equipment they have available to them.


To find out if an animal is pregnant normally the vet will palpate their stomach and take x-rays. If they have an ultra sound on site they could use that. But it depends how far along the rabbit is, most vets will probably tell you just to wait and see what happens.


Rabbits are pregnant for around 30 days. If the female starts pulling out fur she is probably making a nest for the babies. Go to the vet anyway to get some information. It will just be the cost of a consultation if the rabbit doesn't need anything else.
five cents!
