Why is my pregnant rabbit shaking, grinding teeth, and not eating?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Female | unspayed | 4 lbs

I have a pet rabbit who I mated. She is on her 35th day after mating. She showed all signs of being pregnant. She should have kindled by now. She has been shaking and grinding her teeth for about 10 hours now which means she is in pain. The level of food in her bowl has not changed since yesterday and she won't eat her treats. She is a super friendly, cuddly, energetic bunny with a quirky personality. Now all she is doing is sitting in a corner with her eyes closed, shaking and grinding her teet

At this point in time, she should be physically examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating rabbits. Pregnancy can be confirmed or ruled out by the vet. Any underlying cause of pain can also be diagnosed and treated. Supportive care can be administered as indicated.
