Young Bun
hi i need some help, my rabbit has just given birth and i dont know what to do!? i didnt even know she was pregnant! any info would be appreciated alot... thanks!
First of all you will need to separate her from the male. If she was with the male when she gave birth, there's every possibility that she'll be pregant again.
The kits will have to stay with their mother until they're eight weeks old.
Woah! Ok, first, relax, second, remove the buck from the mother and the kits if you have one, and make sure the mother and babies have plenty of bedding and water.
I think the advice to speak to your vet is good advice. There's usually an out of hours vet who can give you free advice over the phone on what to do next.
I'm sorry - I'm just guessing what the most sensible thing is and best you get advice from the vet.

I'm not sure but I don't think you're supposed to touch the babies at all for now? I hope someone with more experience than me will some to help you very soon.

Is she an outdoor or an indoor bun? If she's outdoor I would try to add more insulation over the hutch-like a blanket as its very cold tonight.(I assume you are an adult and able to do this?)
