Can a rabbit be pregnant for over 36 days?

My rabbit is only about 15 weeks old, but she is much fatter than the rest in her litter. We kept two from the litter, and didn't separate them until they were 10 weeks old. Now they are in separate hutches, but I can see wiggling within her tummy. I have bred rabbits before, so I know what to do, but my other bunny gave birth at 31 days, so I'm not sure. I am sure that it is about 38 days since we separated them, is there a chance she got be pregnant??Can a rabbit be pregnant for over 36 days?
That is not normal. My rabbits kindle from 28-32 days ALWAYS. If it's been pregnant for 36 days, most likely she is not pregnant. A tip is, breed once early in the morning and once again later at night (cooler temperatures during summer) to ensure the doe is pregnant. When a doe is exposed to the buck, eggs are released, and if sperm is still present, the doe will be bred, but when you breed again at night, the eggs are present and you know for sure that the doe has been bredCan a rabbit be pregnant for over 36 days?
She's most likely not pregnant. If she was pregnant she would have given birth by now, and she would've made a nest. If you thought she was pregnant you should've given her a nest box. While you're holding her, gently but firmly rub her tummy. If you feel marble-like objects inside of her, she's pregnant. At 36 days, they'd be very hard to miss.

Usually at the 35th day of, what humans think, pregnancy and the kits haven't been kindled then the doe is definitely not pregnant. However if you are more than positive she is pregnant and she is not pulling her fur, take her to a vet. She shouldn't be pregnant so young, she is not even 3 months old yet.
No. 35 days is the maximum.
