What are the first signs of a pregnant rabbit?

She is only 6 month old dwarf lion head. I recently adopted her from a local animal shelter. I thought it was a male rabbit but I now know it is a female. She was paired up with our other rabbit, whom is a male. I just wanted to know what should I look for in the beginning of pregnancy, she eats alot and her stomach is getting rounder and harder.What are the first signs of a pregnant rabbit?
Signs of early pregnancy?


Morning sickness?


Does she accuse the boy rabbit of not loving her anymore? Does she say things like ';Will you still love me when I'm fat?';


Did the bunny promise to quit drinking and smoking for the next few months?


If any or all of these are true, CONGRATULATIONSWhat are the first signs of a pregnant rabbit?
Palpating and feeling the babies developing is usually the first sign of a pregnant rabbit, though if you aren't used to doing this then you could harm the babies. Usually during the week before they are born you can feel the babies moving around in the mothers tummy. A couple of days before they are born she will pull out her fur and use it to make a nest.





Rabbits don't really show too many signs of pregnancy during their pregnancy, some get quite cage aggresive, which means they will attack you when you put your hand into their cage.
They may become more agressive and not like you to touch them or pick them up. They may pull out fur. Gathering hay in mouth and gaining weight in abdomen, and movement in abdomen.


P.S. Thank you for adopting your rabbit.
The rabbit will start pulling its hair!
