Rabbit pregnancy questions - when to seperate the male?

my female rabbit (Moxie) is pregnant, and still enjoys playing with her mate (Toby, who is now neutered). they are in seperate cages, indoor, and she is due on the 14th of February. Can I still let them play together outside of their cages, or will that stress her too much? How long after the birth can I let her play with him again?Rabbit pregnancy questions - when to seperate the male?
Due on Valentines day- sooo cute!


If you normally let them play outside together- go for it. But keep a close eye on her because you don't want him to try to breed her when she's already pregnant. If you normally don't let them play outside together, then don't let them. Rabbit's can just absorb the babies into themselves if they feel like it's an unsafe environment to have them in, or if it's just a change of environment. Wait a couple days before letting Moxie play with Toby again after she had babies- just to let her get to know them well. =)Rabbit pregnancy questions - when to seperate the male?
I think that it might be fine but only for about a week or so more 'cause if he is in the same pen as her when she has the babies he WILL eat them! so its better safe than sorry. once Moxie makes a nest w\ her fur its time to seperate them!





good luck! :)





PS. I lOVE BABY BUNNIES!!!! SO CUTE!!!!
