Hi all, today is day 30 from the only possible time Miranda and Sammy could potentially have done the dirty, and although i still have no idea whether i got them separated in time or not, i have a few questions about timing that I'm hoping some of you will answer for me. The info I've found online is mixed.
I know 31 days is normal, but how late can a rabbit pregnancy go? I'd like to know when i can safely assume no babies will be coming.
I've read a lot saying that right on the 31st day is the most common, and also that it usually happens overnight. Does that mean the night OF the 31st day, or the kits are FOUND on the 31st day and were therefore born overnight of the 30th?
Does the breed and/or size of the rabbit make ANY difference to the length of pregnancy, or whether they're likely to be on the early or late side?
Does it make a difference that it's a first pregnancy like it does in humans?
Ummmm, I think that's all for now. Thanks so much for reading and any responses! Logically I want there not to be kits, because it was not planned and I'm perfectly happy with my two, and it would allow me to get Miranda spayed next week. That said, now that we approach the day of finally knowing, a part of me is internally squeeing over the thought of teensie tiny little puddin's! I'm fairly sure that if there are babies I won't be able to let them leave and will be overrun by bunnies, so it really is best if she's not pregnant!
