Actually you don't even know if she's pregnant. If she is it takes approximately 31 days until birth. Maybe around Feb.23rd would be due date if they mated immediately. Since she never had babies before that maybe the male doesn't get interested very often and she's not pregnant. But just in case you will want a nextbox in there by maybe the 19th of February. Fill it with straw or hay. She should put fur in it right away or the night before she delivers. When she's about 2-3 weeks you should be able to feel little grape size lumps, could be two rows of them just inside her hips on each side of her stomach. If you want them back in the same cage you must get both of them fixed, or at least the male so he doesn't mark, the female so she doesn't get uterine cancer.

well my rabbits have never gotten hay. the only thing they eat is the pellets, lettuce romaine, carrots, brocoli every now and then, also kale once in a while, radishes, and water. that is it. there is no place to but hay in my area. so they don't get it. they also get the food that has the little treats in them. like the gourmat rabbit food. mostly regualr pellets though.

Hay is the most important part of a rabbits diet! Rabbits need lots and lots of fiber. You can buy small bales at a pet feed store and give them a large handful a day. It's really important for their digestive system, also plenty of water to go with it.
