Cameron just had her babies, can I touch the mom?... or hold her? or bring her out, or is that not advised? I am notsure of the answer. One of the babies is all spotted its so cute, ohgoodness, pls help.

I'm not sure on that one, most does are verynervous and protective of their litters. if it's okay with the mom, idon't see what's wrong with holding her for a short time.Congradulations!

lol...

I know how you're feeling....I felt like my head wasn't quite attached, I was so excited. Breathe.....hehe

I would holdoff picking mum up for a couple days (just me,though), but petting is fine unless she tries to take your arm off.

Yeah the mom is really good, like she wants me topet her, she comes up to the front of the cage and nudges me andthings, and she has been letting me pet her babies, She knows i wonthurt her or them i think?... She also let me give her some milk (just ashot glass full) , she really likes it, but I was told it is not a goodidea to give it to her often, does anyone elses bunny drink milk?thanks

I thought I heard nursing moms could get a bit of milk, but maybe someone can confirm that for you!

oh ok, she moved the nest again! well, we have atowel draped over half the cage to prevents drafts, and keep them calm,well the nest was in the corner that wasnt covered. she moved all thebabies into a small nest in the corner that is covered on all 3 sides,so there isnt drafts. The nest doesnt look very cozy, should i dig it,to make a deeper hole, than push the sides up so theyu cant climb out?i thought the does dont pick up there babies, she definatly did, shemoved all 4 to this hole, well all 3, one of the grays was with hernursing i think, or just sitting next to her about a foot away from thenest, i dont know how he got there lol. and when she hopped away after5 minutes, i put him in the nest.

 

[rabbitgirl]

Weird! How on earth did she move them? Did she just push the nest itself? wow....that's unusual!

Make sure there is something blocking the edgesof the cage so no babies wonder out and get through. (theycan fall through little wire places)

Congrats on the new babies

it is plastic on the bottom half, than wire, but should i make the nest deeper.
