Hi
Sorry to start a new thread but I need some help urgently.
I have put the poorly baby rabbit in with mum at the top of the hutch and the babies and dad out in the run and in his part of the hutch which is the bottom, they have always met through the hutch/run when they have been out.
Because of the circumstances I have now put all 5 of the babies in the bottom of the hutch with him, is this wrong? My gut feeling tells me it is? They are all fine and he is licking them and they are all licking each other, he was neutured 4 weeks ago and they are 7 weeks old.
They have been together for a few hours and I have shut the hutch up now but can see from the window where I am, I also stayed out there for a while after I shut them in the hutch. There is no stamping feet going on.
Am I wrong to do this? I feel I am and need to do something else with them but dont know what. Should I bring them in the utility room, we have a puppy now so that would be harder but if better I will get by and do this.
Thanks in anticipation, please advise me what to do???
