I'm moving this to the Rabbitry section for you where you'll get more responses there.

How long has it been seen she was exposed to a bucck? Do you know any breeders in your area that can palp her? Do you have a rabbit savvy vet that can palp her?

If she only recently been exposed to a buck then her weight gain is probably not pregnancy related. They usually don't get much bigger until the last week and lots of them don't even then.

Any idea how far on she is? rabbits are pregnant for around 31 days. for this time usually most breeders leave them quiet though a lot of places say exercise as normal obviously don't put her anywhere near the buck! Keep her eating and everything as normal until she is having the babies. For a couple of days before you can offer her a tum or half a tum just to make sure her callcium level is not to low.

there was a good sticky maybe its in the libaray now about rabbits conception to birth maybe one of the mods knows where its gone. i will try and find out for you

How long has it been since they "met"? A rabbit doesn't really "show" a pregnancy until right before they deliver. Gestation is 31 days. If it's been a month, you should be ready with a nest box and nesting materials.

Just wondering- why did you want to breed her?

You're not a bad mommy, accidents can happen. You do need to make sure, though, that your whole family knows never to put the rabbits together for any amount of time, as obviously it only takes seconds for a doe to get pregnant. Are you going to get your buck neutered? That way (eight weeks after the neuter, not until then) you could try bonding them so they each have a friend.

Look on the calendar and mark on there the day, or as close as you can remember, that your doe got bred. She will be due to have babies 32 days after that. You will need to put a nestbox in her cage at about day 29-30. Don't do it any sooner, though, or she might jsut go potty in it.
