Accurately estimate the rabbit's gestation due date and monitor the complete milestone timeline with our Rabbit Gestation Calculator.
Rabbit gestation periods vary by breed but typically range from 28 to 32 days.
Understanding gestation helps breeders prepare for the birth, monitor the rabbit's health, and provide appropriate care during pregnancy.
If unsure of the breed, you can select "average" to get an estimated gestation period.
Signs include behavioral changes, such as nesting behavior, increased appetite, and palpable fetuses around 10-14 days post-breeding.
Ensure a clean, quiet nesting area, monitor for signs of labor, and have a vet's contact information ready for assistance.
Provide a balanced diet of fresh hay, vegetables, and limited pellets to support the mother's health and the developing kits.
Complications include dystocia (difficult birth), pregnancy toxemia, and stillbirths. Regular vet check-ups help detect and manage these issues.
Provide a warm, draft-free environment, ensure the kits nurse from their mother, and monitor their health closely.
