When can i stop worrying :(

Young Bun
Okay so my little suprises are 6 days old this morning and i'm suviving on about 2 hours sleep a night through woryying about them. There all fine and seem to be going from strength to strength. they now have ears and little stompy feet :)

What sort of age can you call "safe" from mum killing them and just dying.
 
Im afraid I cant really answer your question as I have no real knowledge about babies :lol: I'd say once thier eyes are open and they start moving they're pretty safe :wave:

Try not to fret, you'll just make yourself poorly
 
I've tried so hard to stop worrying but i can't, i have a real passion for animals and although they were'nt planned i love everyone of them :(
 
It's lovely that you are so concerned about them :love: Just try and relax, mummy bun sounds like she is doing her job :wave:
 
You only know baby bunnies have 'survived' when they get to about 4 months old. Worrying won't help you, or them, and it won't change anything either.

Currently, very much so far so good for your lovely ladies being mums.
 
Don't worry Bunnies mums, if they feel save and secure, tend to do a fantastic job.

Just make sure the mums get plenty of food as breast feeding the babies takes a lot of energy out of them
