How old was Harlow when you got her? Baby rabbits can breed from a very young age but depends on breed (small rabbits 5 months but should wait til 6). They should have ideally been separated by sex not breed. Perhaps the breeder was inexperienced hence didn’t sex properly or the babies were too young (unless you’re experienced it can be hard to tell under 6 weeks).

As your rabbit is a lionhead she is part of the dwarf family who struggle to give birth to live young and almost always lose their first litter. If the father is a harlequin this would be very problematic due to the size difference, she may struggle to pass them. Do you know if she is a true or false dwarf? False dwarfs are generally speaking larger and don’t struggle with kits as much.

I would contact a local breeder of lionheads (failing that, a local breeder of dwarf breeds) and ask for their advice on the matter. If they’re really close and she doesn’t get stressed out by travelling, you could take her to them and they could even check to see if she is definitely pregnant by palpitating her stomach. Even if you do go ahead with the litter you may need to contact a breeder anyway if she rejects them so you can foster out the babies.

I would definitely not spay her. I seriously doubt she is pregnant, but to be on the safe side, I wouldn’t. In my experience, when the doe pulls fur early, (more than 5 days in advance) it is likely to be false. How old was she when you got her? I’m not saying everybody should start breeding bunnies, but it shouldn’t be that hard to raise baby rabbits if you have no other choice. The moms usually manage on there own for the most part. Hope this helps a little!

Why “mad mom’s boyfriend?
“Mad” he’ll get over it – or”mad” crazy dangerous mad??

Don’t tell him unless babies arrived and then bunnymom will look after them by herself.
It’s not like they’ll take up huge amount of room in the first month….. they will stay with their Mum.
I don’t think you should spay if you will feel forever guilty or put bunnymom’s life in danger.
If any of the babies die naturally or during birth then that unfortunately is life… and it won’t be your fault.

I’ll have to leave it to the pros on here to answer more medically.

This is a tough one. The BB forums don’t have a lot of members that are experienced with bunny pregnancy and birth and the risks involved. You could ask on the forum Rabbitsonline in their “rabbitry and show room” section. I can’t link from my phone but you’ll find it if you google.
The biggest risk I think is for the kits from a first time mom. She will need a little help from you because she’s likely to be a little bewildered by what’s going on. She’ll need a nest box and a little more food both now and as long as she’s nursing.

Vet told me not to spay the rabbit in the later part of pregnancy. Two week thing tells me false pregnancy or an early failed pregnancy. This could have been from a brother mounting her or simply being around other rabbits.

If she is pregnant just hope it was not with one of her siblings. Line pregnancies are not optimal (father to daughter, mother to son) but not a disaster.

If it was with a sibling just hope the babies are ok.

A real pregnancy you should see digging for 5-8 days (starting day 22), then nest building as progesterone drops (straw collecting and the like), then fur pulling, usually 1-2 days before birth as prolactin levels rise. If this is not the sequence you see, it is a false pregnancy if fur pulling occurs at days 14 to about 21.

If this sequence is not followed and it is past about day 22 you need to take her to a vet as something could be wrong (especially if she bred with a brother).

Hope this helps.
