Some of you may remember me posting in December asking about the possibility of my female rabbit getting pregnant between the sex change fairy visiting and me realising that Samantha was actually Samuel. It turned out to be a false pregnancy, which I am thankful for because aside from the fact that I didn't plan to breed them, Miranda was only 4 months and despite being a good size for her age I was very worried. She built an impressive nest, and then a couple of days later she went back to normal. It was interesting actually, because although she doesn't like to be ignored and will climb on people to toss phones awa y or put her face between yours and the TV, she doesn't usually like to be picked up or stay in laps for snuggles. About a week or so before she made her nest she got super duper affectionate, wanting cuddles all the time and was quite content to snuggle for an hour or more at a time. Then when she got past the false pregnancy she went back to being her snooty attitude filled self.
Sammy was booked in for his neutering and until then they were separated, with one little slip-up. One afternoon it was hot, so I came out to bring Sammy inside (he and Miranda trade out, one inside and one out at a time) and found that my 6 year old had already decided it was too hot and brought him in but hadn't set up separate pens. I split them immediately and hoped Sammy had still been too much of a princess to get the job done, but this time I think he may have figured it out.
If she is pregnant, today would be day 23. She's got a tubby belly on her (you can feel the big belly but not see it under her fur), though admittedly she does LOVE her food so it could be that! She's also again become super snugly, which is absolutely lovely but a bit worrying! At least she's that bit older now - she will be 6 months on the 23rd - but I am still somewhat hoping this is another false pregnancy and she has just been eating too much! She's been booked in for her spaying that week!
If we do end up with mini-Mirandas and mini-Sammys I'll be sure to put pictures up here. I still have no idea what a solid black with a chocolate buck would produce with a broken orange or potentially sooty fawn (her coat is changing) would actually produce.
