Rabbits experts, possibly pregnant rabbit is hiding

Hi all,

I was given a couple Netherland Dwarfs when they brought them to us they ere in transport box for over 2 hours, then we had them in the same hutch of the night untill we got the 2nd hutch then next day,

anyway that was around 5 weeks ago,...

the guy who gave us the rabbits said that he didnt think it was mating season anyway, which was a relief to me cause I have no idea on how to breed them anyway,

a few days ago I had to put them both together so I can clean out their hutches individually I saw the male rabbit trying to you know what lol she was refusing like crazy but he caught her my Goodness I felt sorry for her wanted to cry,

now I know why the saying says (at it like rabbits lmao!!)

anyway, heres my question,,, today again was cleaning time but before I could even get to the females hutch she was not in there, her hutch door was open so im thinking my 2 yr old let her out!!

she was hiding under kids cubby house,

we have not been able to catch her all day now all night,
its 11.30pm I keep checking on her she is just happily sitting there staring into the house sitting on the grass,
not even celery or cabbage is of interest to her right now she has gotten out before when I let them have a play for excersise but this time its been impossible to catch her!
im worried sick because I'm scared about possible cats also what if she digs a hole into our two neighbours yards where there are dogs ;-(

but I also noticed she had dug a pretty big hole under the tree, could she be pregnant about to give birth if so is it safe that these baby rabbits are left in the hole untill morning time, thats if shes pregnant if she goes tonight!

she does look quite big so im pretty sure she is carrying,

please help sorry so long!

thanks heaps :-)

Ok great,thank you so much for your help,
we have caught her by using a trap like you said, she is back in her hutch, still hasnt had her babies though,
I'll let you know when,
thanks again have a great weekend :-)

I do not know much about baby bunnies, but I do know that they are hard to raise on a bottle and almost always die. I would try and use a live trap to catch her. Maybe if you set it up she may go in it over night. If she has her babies in that hole I would leave them alone until you see them hopping around. I do think if you bother the nest the mother may not take to them. I hope you find the info you need. Good luck
