false pregnancy in rabbits

I've even bothered to put all my information together. Perhaps it can be helpful other holders.

trigger a false pregnancy

Although a castrato of course does not procreate more, mated the rabbit but it can with her a few hours after the act in the formation of egg cells in the follicles come. It is not fertilized, but the so-called yellow bodies form anyway. The corpus luteum produce progesterone (pregnancy hormone) are thus triggering the false pregnancy.

Possible signs and duration of a false pregnancy:

• the rabbit behaves at the beginning of the false pregnancy, both to her partner (or group) and possibly to the holder unusually aggressive. (Expulsion of common food and beds, etc.)
• you behave during the entire duration of very nervous, anxious and possibly more growl.
• weight loss (usually only minor) also occurs frequently, as the rabbit eats less.
• Sometimes swell to the teats and, finally, secretion of milk.
• Towards the end of false pregnancy, the doe begins to build the nest. Then she gathered hay and spread it out on the chosen nesting site. They also pluck their undercoat out of the belly fur to bolstering it.

These signs are not always available . It may be that they are just anxious, or eat less but the false pregnancy occurs without nesting. Some females is nothing of everything on it and "bitchy" about something. This is very individually and be able to make from time to time different.

The duration is approximately 2 to 3 weeks. Within this time the corpus luteum are reduced. The symptoms such as aggressiveness or nesting occur only late in pregnancy. We get so general with only the end of a false pregnancy.

way you can support his doe during this time:

run

Most false pregnancies very dangerous. With a few simple steps can make it to her but as pleasant as possible.

is important to make room . Due to the displacement of the party or the rest of the group should ensure that the enclosure open / widely, so that all animals as much as possible to avoid it. The female of the group or to separate from the partner is not recommended and has impact on the future cohabitation after the false pregnancy (the hierarchy).

nesting

the rabbit building a nest , it should never be put away . The rabbit gets this under massive stress , because they would already have finished the nest before birth and would always start a new nest building. The time is indeed up to the alleged birth of increasingly scarce and the effect of stress on the animal would be absolutely the opposite. Since the nesting begins at the end of false pregnancy and the behavior on the whole to a close, you should put it away only when the rabbit's nest is no longer observed. You notice the doe so also that it is again accessible and quiet. counteract

To the nervousness / aggressiveness , the doe can find high-quality forage also soothing herbal either fresh or - as a rich tea - if it is accepted. Here is especially chamomile, fennel, basil or sage)

Since the females eat less in general, should be paid to precious food. Important: Too fast or too big decrease in serious health risk to the female rabbits should therefore means - if possible precaution-weighed, so you can act quickly when exposed to great loss. Possibly. you can with Critical Care (Aufpäppelfutter which is generally very much) to feed on.

How many false pregnancies are normal?

If a false pregnancy no more than 2-3 times a year occurs shall be deemed harmless. Only when the course of dramatic or protracted, is a veterinarian, the animal must be presented, as there might be a serious health risk to the female. Mostly first time hormones are administered. The administration of hormones is not free of side effects and the long term not the solution.

The castration of females is only one solution when it comes to permanent false pregnancies. So it must first be balanced and should be undertaken only in otherwise healthy animals.

unique ceiling as a solution to future false pregnancies?

course, there are again those who claim that can prevent even cover the doe first appearance or future pregnancies. course is not! false pregnancies also occur when a doe has been thrown. There is the prevention not.

Suffers a doe often in complicated pregnancies, her appearance is not helped by a real pregnancy. In most cases this represents a disease of the uterus or ovaries. This should be investigated. The right pregnancy can lead to miscarriage or what is known as gestational. Because the female dies sometimes.

Such practices are not only grossly negligent but also immoral. It will possibly also lead to land again a few baby rabbits at the shelter because they themselves can not or will not provide.

arm Fienchen

had with horror this week, we find that our FIENI is apparently pregnant. A week ago I had found that Fienchen is extremely moody. Well she is a girl - this is still a very dominant, the girl has her Hazel under control - and now and also very moody. The little bitch has devastated the entire enclosure. No sooner had we all swept threw it back out the entire litter from the toilet, tore the good singing carpets that serve as a base and threw the food and hay through the area. On Sunday she added as I was also bitten in the enclosure. There was now no hard bite but she grunted and gasped. Since the enclosure but now I wanted to help again at the usual order and constantly gnawed me around, I read the two Wuselmonster explore the whole living room. So I could at least clean up in peace and create order. I meant nothing too wild. The only thing I noticed that she no longer knew how Monday and Tuesday with Hazel. The quite large enclosure was suddenly too small for both. They chased Hazel where they could. The poor Hazel did not know what hit him. But it was unstable, because after the evening feed both vegetables were cuddling each other again. That is why I put reverb on their normal Zickereien. However, I had also noticed that they ate less than usual, because she stopped eating but not completely stopped me I was not so worried.

Tuesday I saw a picture of horror. When I came home and the two feeding wish I looked like Fieni by enclosure and was rushed to the undercoat plucked from the breast area. Now it was clear! Fienchen is apparent pregnancy. Super, I have back then when I got the rabbit neutered just Hazel. The Art said that would be enough to neuter and the lady would be much riskier than a kid. This is our Fienchen after 2 years the first time ticket is pregnant I have not thought of.

Now I had to get again in a couple of people ask who consider themselves rabbits, which has implications for a false pregnancy and how long it lasts. The fur pulling is almost the end of pregnancy. In recent days, a female aggressive than anything else explains their behavior was the ultimate.

On the night of Thursday we had it right palaver! Fieni has Hazel ran so in such a way that I had to break down at 00:30 at night clock half our living room and cable pull had, so I could run the two in the whole living room and thus created the possibility of each other to avoid it. Hazel clapped wildly and I had the neighbors are afraid at some point before our door. They could go a little out of the way and after 2 hours it was reasonably quiet. Our cats did not like it they had to find it all in the bedroom to sleep. When I came into the living room in the morning the situation had calmed. Yesterday again was all the same. Fieni noticed her nest and we could not rid of it again. The two are also back, heart and soul.

I hope that Fienchen is not even apparent until pregnancy. I you would not like to expect a castration. We will continue to monitor.
