Yes, especially if she has a male rabbit as a friend. When she starts to pull her fur usually from the belly area-does not hurt her much for the fur comes out easy, the within 24 but no more than 48 hrs. When they are first born leave alone until eyes opened--ASK A VET-a Exotic Animal Vet if you do not have one that gives your rabbits yearly check-ups- for if you touch and get your scent on them she will kill them------also should separate the Male ,take him out of the cage for she'll not want him and in the tussle babie can accidentally get stepped on-also Mom Rabbit needs not to be stressed so she'll produce milk and take good care of the babies-male being in the cage will stress the female--keep him out of the cage until babies are big enough not to get hurt-can also ask the VET This is also the time the female needs good food----the very best are Dandelion Greens- you are near or can get to a Farmer's Market get some, I get Organic for rabbits love them-near perfect food for them-makes the fur full and fluffy and is superior nutrition for them which the Mom and the Bunnies need.The Exotic Pet Vet should also have special food so the Mom will make good milk for the Bunnies. Have had several-the Bunny I have is going on 13 years-pretty old but still spry and I "ve been feeding her among other things-pellets,hay,apple,parsley,kale---dandelion greens and why sh is so healthy and spry. Female Rabbits can also have hysterical pregnancies-----think they are but not-usually female that does not have a male bunny with her and unless you get a male bunny-need to get her fixed for protects her from cancer-also protects male bunnies from testicular cancer.

yes...from what i have seen, usually within a week she has the babies. Don't be surprised if she starts pulling out her own fur to help with making the nest. Also, from what i have experienced, after the birth, mom and dad bunny don't get along very well. You might want to split them up for a bit.

Usually when she starts plucking the fur from her belly, its a 24-48 hour time frame that she will have them. 99% it will happen at night and please do not touch them, she will kill them.
