What is a false pregnancy in does?

  1. When a doe miscarries

  2. When a doe gives birth to only one kit

  3. When a doe builds a nest when she has not been bred

  4. When a doe shows aggression due to hormonal changes

The correct answer is: When a doe builds a nest when she has not been bred

A false pregnancy in does is when a female rabbit exhibits behaviors and physical changes similar to that of a pregnant rabbit, even though she has not been bred. This can include building a nest, gaining weight, and exhibiting maternal behaviors. Option A is incorrect because miscarriage refers to the loss of a pregnancy, not a false pregnancy. Option B is incorrect because giving birth to only one kit does not necessarily mean it is a false pregnancy, as a doe can only give birth to one kit if that is all she was impregnated with. Option D is incorrect because while hormonal changes may cause aggression in a doe, it does not necessarily mean she is undergoing a false pregnancy.
