My Babies bunnies

New Kit
Hi

wonder if someone can advise me:

My baby bunnies (6) - 10 days old now, are breaking the nest, the nest has been hemmed in by mum using shavings and hay. should i remove the shaving, and put more hay in? afraid of them burrowin into the shavings.

Thanks
 
Id say put more hay in for mum to reinforce the nest, they need to be kept together for warmth, and so mum can feed them all in one place, otherwise some may end up going without.
 
They're still very young, I'd take the shavings out of the nest, keep any fur mum has pulled and put it on top of some new hay, be very careful when opening the hutch, baby rabbits like to dive out!
