more a curiositypost than anything. When a mum rabbit is pregnant and givesbirth i know you have to seperate them to protect the babies but thenwhat happens? how do you re-introduce them and do they recogniseeachother? I know common sence says you have them all neutered andspayed but how does the father bond with his kids?intrigued.

Here are a few pictures of Ben and his babies at two weeks. He loved tochin them all over and was really good with them. I would just makesure to supervise real well and make sure mom isn't around to getprotective of her babies.

Here is a link to the post I had about introducing Ben to his kits...

Those pictures always bring a tear to my eyes. It is so sweet to see Ben with his babies.

But we shouldprobably add for those of you who were not blessed with knowingBen...he was probably uncommonly gentle with the babies. As he was withhis people!

It probably wouldn't be wise to expect thisreaction from just any rabbit.
