She is also getting a dwalp imguessing its becasue she is 7 months old almost 8 but i just noticed it3 days ago.Im scared to pick her up and hold her.

The babies can be palpated within a fewweeks, they feel like marbles. You can have a vetcheck your bunny if you feel uncomfortable handling her right now.

You will need to change her diet if she is pregnant.

Sounds like you might want to see your vet for more info.

She can definitely get pregnant that quickly.

You'll need to be ready, just in case.Count 31 days from the days she was with the buck -- this istheday she'll most likely kindle (give birth) if she isindeed pregnant.

She will need a box (metal or wood boxes are generally used) -- you canuse a heavy cardboard box and is just large enough for her to turnaround in. Stuff it with hay or straw and put it into thecage a few days before she would be due.

Many does will start to gather hay in their mouths if they are pregnant-- try giving her a little and see if she starts any "nesting"behaviors. This can be a good indicator of pregnancy (after 2weeks) if the doe is suspected to be pregnant.

Do not change or increase her diet at this time -- it can lead topregnancy complications. You wouldslowly increaseher food after the litter is born.

To determine pregnancy -- you would have to "palpate" (feel) for thebabies in the abdomen. Two weeks after mating is the besttime to palpate because it is when the babies are easiest tofeel. I have posted a number of times onpalpating,so you can do a search of the archives. If she won't let youtouch her tummy, you're not going to be able to palpate her abdomenthough.

aww i hope she is ok too, i dont see why shewouldnt be, its hard to tell if shes pregnant by looking at the picsand not feeling for anything, especially at such an early stage. Lookfor other signs too, maybe aggressiveness ( mine didnt go through thatbut many do) nest building, although that wont happen for a couple ofweeks yet. If i think of anything else i will let you know
