A female rabbit can begin nesting and showing signs of preparing for birth after mating, whether conception took place or not. Mating will cause the female to begin spontanous ovulation so unless the male is sterile, she will most likely conceive on the second attempt.

∙ 14y agoyes it can but if you are breeding rabbits it is less likely to have a false pregnancy if you put the buck in more than once for example put the buck in for an hour on the morning and then about another hour on the afternoon hope this helped

∙ 12y agoHormones alone cause false pregnancies in rabbits. It is widely recommended that you spay rabbits because false pregnancies are stressful. Ongoing stress in a rabbit's life will lead to a low quality of life, and possibly illness. Spaying your rabbit will also avoid uterine cancer, which is very common in young female rabbits. See the related link below for details about rabbit spaying.

∙ 11y agoIn rabbits, the term is "false" pregnancy, not "phantom" pregnancy. Hormones cause false pregnancies. False pregnancies are stressful on rabbits. If you have a female rabbit, please consider spaying her. There are many behavioural and health benefits to spaying your rabbit. See the related link below for details.

Can a rabbit mate at 13 weeks old?
The rabbit has to be at least 6 months before it can mate. Don't mate it though! Millions on baby rabbit are exterminated because too many were bred just like kittens. Instead, adopt one sad rabbit. Change its life and heart!
What are the signs of a phantom pregnancy in a rabbit?
The main sign of phantom pregnancy is nesting. The bunny will start to pluck out the hair on her chest and tummy to build the nest with. In the case of some rabbits they will pull hair out of a bonded mate to nest build also. You will often see a nesting bunny frantically running around with a mouth full of hay to take to her nest. If you bunny is nesting without reason (i.e. she has not been bred, she is spayed, she has not had any contact with a male) then you can pretty much be sure it is a phantom pregnancy. A phantom or false pregnancy can be detected in several ways. If you have not bred your doe you KNOW it is a false pregnancy. If she goes over 32 days it is a false pregnancy. You can palpate at 15 days and if you do not feel babies but she insists on nesting you will know it is a false or phantom pregnancy. A doe having a false pregnancy will nest just like a doe that is pregnant. I have witnessed some that tend to go overboard nearly stripping themselves naked because no babies come. The doe that you determine to be having a phantom or false pregnancy should be bred immediately. There should be no 'bonded mate' for a doe with phantom pregnancy every rabbit should have it's own cage.

Why is your dwarf rabbit pulling its fur out?
That mean that she want to mate or she is pregnant, or she is having a false pregnancy. Consider spaying the rabbit. Another reason could be the rabbit is extremely bored, to the point of being stressed out. Do some research into how to care for bunnies, and how to let them engage in their natural behaviours (like grazing on hay, and playing). See the related questions and links below for details.
Can dogs mate with rabbits?
First answer: They could, but they only mate with another dog. Not a rabbit. Disagreement: Rabbits and dogs absolutely can not mate. If a dog tried to mate with a rabbit, it would seriously hurt the rabbit! And, there's no way it could result in pregnancy. Do not let your dog try and mount your rabbit: separate them immediately, and don't let them together again unless they play nice. And never let them together when you're not supervising, even if they seem to get along well.

Will a rabbit mate if not mature?
