I looked and touched her from out side. I will let vet exam her today internal organs. Where there's Steral surface for exams. I clean but I don't want her to get an infection. I know some of it. But not enough to know when it might be to much for her.

Palpation is done from the outside.

No false pregnancy with ex rays. Only tissue from last litter.

And there was a lot of bloating and gases in her body.vet said its normal with kits starting to wean from mom.

It's a mixed blessing. I sad I can not breed my other rabbit for Easter. Because of vet costs. I sad because she doesn't have a litter. But I greatful for I can spend sometime with hopes my ducks and chickens hatch and the two baby chicken born alive. Vet said she may no someone looking for a couple if rabbits. So not all is lost. We will bread again in a while. I need to save I income for the habitats.it went on vet costs. I am happy she is ok.

Looks like I was right - the false pregnancy had ended almost a week before. While I have had dozens and dozens of does that experienced false pregnancies, I have never seen one that went past the "due date" with one, and your doe was "due" last Friday.

I'm sorry, but I don't see this as a "mixed" blessing at all - it's a blessing, pure and simple. This doe hasn't burdened you with yet more animals that you don't have adequate housing for. Since you now have your animals separate and you know what you need to do to prevent pregnancy, you can spend your time reading and learning about what is involved in properly caring for rabbits, and finding homes for the babies that you do have (which will need to be separated by gender by the time they are 10 weeks old, or the males will breed their sisters and you will have even more of a mess on your hands). When you have a good set up in place for housing your animals, you will be able to have intentional litters that you are adequately prepared for, and spare yourself and your animals a lot of stress and drama.

Smokey the dad seems depressed she wants to be near the older kits and seems to be worried.the older kits seem to be depressed without mom rabbit. I worried for them.

80o F is very warm for a rabbit. Your rabbits aren't "depressed," they are hot. They are not in danger of heat stroke, but they are just lying around and not moving much because moving around makes them uncomfortably warm. "Depressed" and "worried" are human mental states; these are animals, and you need to remember that. Animals do not have the same feelings that we do; they experience and respond to stress in their own ways. In this case, your animals are responding in a physical way (not moving around) to a physical stress (being too warm).
