Identification method of pregnancy in female rabbits

After 10-15 days of pregnancy, female rabbits will scratch holes, gnaw cages and pick grass, and refuse to contact and mate with male rabbits. once the male rabbit is chased, the female rabbit will make a "goo goo" cry to refuse. Therefore, the method of public exemption test can also be used for pregnancy examination, but this method is not very accurate.

From 10 days of pregnancy to prenatal pregnancy, redness and swelling can often be seen in the vagina. the more days of pregnancy, the more obvious the swelling of the vagina, but it is relatively dry and there is no secretion.

The more accurate method of pregnancy examination for female rabbits is to touch the fetus. The fetus can be touched across the abdominal wall 8-10 days after mating. Touch the fetus must not lift the pregnant rabbit off the ground operation, and do not force too hard, otherwise, it will cause female rabbit miscarriage. The correct method is to grasp the ear and neck skin of the female rabbit in one hand to make the rabbit secrete toward the human body, and put the other hand in a figure-shaped shape on the rear abdomen of the female rabbit, touching the area in front of the pelvic area (light action, not hard pinch, so as not to cause abortion). Touch the hand from back to front along the abdominal wall of the female rabbit. If you mate and conceive, you can touch a small meatball that is the size of a fecal grain, elastic and easy to slide. However, attention should be paid to the difference between feces and feces, which are rough and hard and not easy to slide. A string of meat balls as big as yolk can be touched at 12-15 days of pregnancy, and the rabbit can be touched at 18-22 days. After 25 days, the fetus, which can distinguish between the body and the head, can feel the fetus and movement by holding the female rabbit's abdomen with hands.

If you can't touch the fetus, you can also use the weighing method to check it. The adult female rabbit is weighed before mating and weighed again in half a month. If the weight is significantly higher than that before mating, it means that it has been conceived; if the weight has not increased, it means that it has not been conceived.
