Looking after baby bunnies

Gingypig

Hi

Boo had her babies 2 days ago and the nest she made was a bit rubbish so i could see them quite well and i think there was 6 of them. Now she has made a very good nest with loads of fluff and hay. Should I try and check to see if there are any dead babies in there? Or just leave well alone?

If i rub my hands in her poo it will be ok the touch them to see into the nest? I just don't want anything to go wrong.

Thank you xxx
 
rub your hand in her dirty pile and maybe move her into teh run while you check this way she wont know what your doing. but it is deffiantly time you checked for any dead and count how many there is and to see if their being fed.
 
Hi Well there are 7 of them, no dead ones and they are all wriggly and nice and warm. She has made a very good nest now. My best friend is having 3 of them :D xxx
 
you dont run your hands in the poo as this could pass on infection to the babies,you rub your hands in her bedding just to get her scent on your hands.
