How does a novice know that a rabbit is pregnant?

The novice can use the male rabbit to check the female rabbit, caress the female rabbit to see the reaction, observe the female rabbit to pick the grass, observe whether the female rabbit scrapes the floor, observe whether the amount of daily intake and drinking water of the female rabbit increases, observe the glossiness of the rabbit hair, detect the pubic part of the female rabbit, detect the weight of the female rabbit and other methods to judge whether the rabbit is pregnant, in fact, the more accurate method is to touch the fetus, but it requires some experience and skills, and novices should not operate blindly. So as not to hurt the female rabbit.

First, use male rabbits to inspect female rabbits.

In the specific operating room, four days after mating, the female rabbit is placed in the cage of the male rabbit. If the female rabbit makes a cooing sound and refuses the male rabbit to approach, it means that the female rabbit is pregnant. This method is relatively simple, but it can not be judged accurately, and other methods can be used to further confirm it.

Second, caress the female rabbit

About 4-5 days after mating, if the breeders are close to the female rabbit or go to touch the female rabbit, they hear the cooing sound of the female rabbit, or do not want to touch it, which shows that the female rabbit is pregnant and needs to be observed according to the usual performance of the female rabbit.

Third, observe the grilled grass of the female rabbit

About 6-7 days after mating, the female rabbit can put grass on the grass rack of the cage, and wait until the evening when the grass of the grass rack is planed into her cage and stacked to one side, which shows that the female rabbit is pregnant, but it must be different from the false pregnancy.

Fourth, observe whether the female rabbit scrapes the floor.

About 7 days after mating, the pregnant female rabbit has the instinctive characteristic of building a nest to make a hole, and the pregnant female rabbit will intermittently dig on the bottom of the cage and do the posture of digging and stealing holes.

Fifth, observe whether the amount of daily intake and drinking water of female rabbits increases.

About 9 days after mating, the food intake of the female rabbit will increase compared with the usual. With the continuous growth of the fetus, the appetite and water appetite of the female rabbit will gradually increase, thus increasing the amount of food and water consumption.

Observe the glossiness of rabbit hair

About 10 days of pregnancy, the glossiness of the coat will increase, more than half a month will increase significantly, more than 20 days will be shiny, the hair root is loose, in order to be caught, the breast will have milk, this method is more accurate, but it should be determined early in favor of supplementary breeding.

7. Detect the pussy of the female rabbit

After mating for more than 7 days, the pubic part of the female rabbit can be detected. If the female rabbit is in the shape of a cherry, there will be redness and swelling, that is, the phenomenon of pregnancy. If the female rabbit is not pregnant if she is in estrus, this method can be combined with the reaction of the grass planing and cage floor of the female rabbit.

8. Measure the weight of female rabbits

The female rabbit is pregnant for about 20 days. With the growth of the fetus, the posterior abdomen of the female rabbit will increase obviously and the body weight will increase gradually.

Touch the fetus

In fact, a more accurate method is to touch the fetus, but this method requires some experience and technology, novices can not operate blindly to prevent injury to the female rabbit.
