well if the bottom one was a female and the top was a male, and if the male "sighed" and fell over more than likely you will have babies.
now the case is diffrent if they were both the smae sex, obviously, look up a few websites that show you how to sex your rabbits.

now from what i remeber it is like 9 weeks or something close to that. you will need a nesting box, filled with a few shavings and you can use either hay or newspaper strips . you put this in toward the last 2 weeks of pregnancy, otherwise they will definly use it as a potty spot.
place it in there before they start pulling their belly fur out to line the nest.

you will need to make shure she is fed well and watered well, and i like to add a salt lick wheel to give a boost in vitamins and minerals

do not place her and the male back together untillo after the babies are weaned. but i wouldnt place them back together anyways.
rabbits can have form 1-10+ kits
if it is her first litter do not be surprised if they dont all make it. first litters are hard to keep sometimes. look up a few books in the liberary about rabitrys , and rabbits it will give you tons and tons of information.

good luck

Answer 2

i dont remeber exactly how long before it delivers the babies as i'm still very young then....but there's no need to do anything or avoid...just feed them as usual...when the rabbit preparing to born the babies, my dad used to get old clothes piled up in a box to prepare a warm place to put in the babies as he say the rabbit might eat its babies coz scare ppl will hurt the babies...make sure its warm enough and take them out for the mum to feed..

Answer 4

Yes, my rabbit got bred once and she had 8babies, shes a New Zealand, you need a rabbit box, you put hay in it and you can fix it up kinda like a nest or she should, they say not to touch the babies or the mother will not take care of them, but I have touch my rabbits babies and she didn't hurt them or anything, just make sure you don't touch another pet and then touch them, because the animals scent may get on the bunnies and she may not want to care for them, usually when I pick them up I clean my hands before, and they say it's good not to breathe on them while their young because if your sick. then you could get the babies sick, it usually takes 28-30days to be born, but sometimes they can run late, you should put the box in the cage a couple of days before the due date so she can fix up the nest and in case she has them early, my rabbit ran late on having hers only like a day or two though. We separate our bunnies at about 5weeks when their eating good from the mom and sell them at about 5-6weeks old, you don't have to give the mom anything special, just make sure she has water and you feed her like you usually do and she should be fine, she needs to be in a cage by herself, and she will probably have the babies at night or when no one is around, she will pull fur to put on top of them to keep them warm and I wouldn't touch them the first couple weeks unless you have too, just make sure your hands are clean, and as they get older and start hoping out the box which you will need to put them back in the box unless they are about 3-4wks and big enough to jump back in on their own then don't worry about them, put extra food in the cage when they do start getting out and trying to eat so their will be enough for the mom and the babies,it's not that hard though to raise bunnies it's pretty fun, well if you have any other questions let me know, I can't think of anything else I might of forgot to tell you, if I do I'll come back an add it, hope this helps.

Answer 6

hi
yes she could be. i have bred from my rabbit once i watched the mating happen then waited. i got a friends dad to fix up a nest box for her put it about a week before i thought the babies were due. if i remember rightly they pregnant for about a month. she popped out 4 bunny babies. one sign & it the final sign is she plucked all her fur out to put in her nest. i handled the babies form a few days old by rubbing my hands in the nest bedding 1st so mummy couldn't tell i had touched them. all her babies are fine & dandy still hear from the buyers.
