Hey,
I have two gorgeous rescue bunnies! And yesterday the female (i have a boy n girl) started pulling her fur out and making what looked like a nest. . . So to be on the safe side as i thought she might be pregnant, i went and got her a box to nest in (or to just play with if she wasnt pregnant) then a few hours later i went back into the room to find that she had given birth to at least 6 babies (maybe 7, but cant tell for sure as they dont stop moving!)
Now, here's the problem. I'm really scared that she isnt going to take to them. I got her just before xmas and she was fairly young then (not too sure as we weren't told exactly). I havent seen her feed them (i know u dont always). but how will i know for sure that they are healthy??
I've scoured the internet to find help and advice as to how to give them the best possible start in life! They are now almost 24 hours old and are squirming around each other.
Are you allowed to hold them?? some people say yes some no. My female has a real attitude (before babies and especially now) and she bites, growls and attacks anyone that comes near her cage. So should i risk holding babies to inspect them??
How can i make sure she is feeding them!?
Could you please get back with any and all advice you can give me! As I am desperate to know everything and anything! I would love to keep them healthy and happy! Please help! Thank you x
