Enter a doe's breeding date for the kindling due date, palpation and nest box dates — or reverse it to find the breeding date.
A doe's gestation averages about 31 days, with a normal range of roughly 28 to 34 days. Because it's such a short pregnancy, this calculator also gives you the key dates breeders track: palpation around day 14 (to feel for kits) and the nest box around day 27–28 — added not too early — before kindling around day 31.
Already have a litter? Switch to reverse mode and enter the kindling date. The calculator subtracts about 31 days to estimate the breeding date and shows a breeding window — useful for confirming the mating date and the likely buck.
Gestation varies by breed and individual, so treat this as a general estimate for your rabbitry, not veterinary advice. Source: average domestic rabbit gestation ~31 days (28–34 day range); palpation ~day 14 and nest box ~day 27–28 per common breeder practice.
