Quick question on babies

[njpal]

Our nest box is home made and is quite large.The litter seem to be moving around andtoday when I checked 2were away from the rest. Is this natural or should I place everyoneback in the center again???

Riya (doe) is pure white in colour, but I noticed a few blackspotson some of the babies pink skin. Does it mean that theywill have colouredpatches in this area or something if notwhat do these patches mean.

The black patches means that they will havecolored fur there. As far as the babies leaving the center,how old are they? If they are younger than 10 days then youshould gently put them back in the center.

My doe Abby is a black rabbit, yet her skin ispink with black splotches (her belly was where it was shaved for herspay anyway).

Pam will be able to tell you more I'll bet.

Yes, mine are like that too. But asbabies that are just getting fur for the first time, this istrue. The black spots will be dark fur and the pink part iswhite or light colored fur. I don't know why an older rabbithas these spots too.
