If your female rabbit was burrowing and nesting and you thought she was pregnant but now there is nothing was it a false pregnancy?

Answer 1

Well, yes, while more details are needed for your specific case I would like to point out that, yes there are such things as "false pregnancies." There are many resons for this among whic include: 1. You have an UNspayed mature female rabbit, simply feeling natural hormones2. You have an UNspayed female and a Nueterd male and the female has been mounted by the male. While the female won't become pregnant, she may still instinctually go through the motions of *being* pregnant.3. You have a Spayed female and an UNnuetered male and the female has been mounted by the male. While the female won't become pregnant, she may still instinctually go through the motions of *being* pregnant.

If you have a female rabbit and don't know if she has been spayed and then she goes through a "false pregnancy" it is a good sign that she needs to be spayed. If you notice blood in the nest, or any other signs of health problems, seek help from your vet ASAP. Remember that a normal gestation time is 28-34 days. She may not have given birth yet. Do not disturb the nest she has made until you are sure she is not actually pregnant.
