I have a female rex rabbit we think she might be pregant but this morning i went to pick her up and she had really runny poo with blood mixed into it she also had spots of blood in her cage. What do i do plz help
A small of amount of blood is normal during a birth and so is a small amount of mushy poop. How long ago was she with the buck? Rabbit pregnancies last an average of 31 days but can go 28-33 days. Did you offer her a nest box? A doe will try to make a nest, gathering hay and pulling her own fur from her chest and belly and line the nest and cover the kits with it. There's more info on my breeding page.
She may have internal bleeding, or she had her kit (s)! Make sure there aren't any kits that have escaped the cage! It may sound impossible but I have heard of newborns that have crawled through the bars on cages, so please do check around!
If you do not find any babies, the best thing would be the vet, as expensive as it is.
Is she eating and drinking? Does she seem active, or is she lethargic?

Get her to the vet ASAP, she should not be pooing blood. Rabbits have very sensitive digestive systems so if there is any slight problem it could be fatal to them. Trust me, if you don 't want to loose your rabbit you need to get her to the vet.
sometime s this happens well this happened to my kitten she had a scab in her bottom and when she went to do her business there was blood it might have been something sharp in her cage that scratched her
Shes on her period, leave her alone for the next few days.
