New Kit
Hello All!!

I am a rabbit lover and have owned for over 9 years. I just recently started breeding. Here is my concern. My doe just had 6 kits and she did not make a nest!!!! I put a nest box in BUT she pulled no fur or anything!! I found 2 then looked and found 4 more in a corner. All are very pink, warm and squiggly!!!!! I put gloves on and put all of them in a nest box and made a nest w hay and bedding!!!!! Whenever I go near the cage they start to cry. Not all of them just 1 of them! Is there anything I should do? PLEASE HELP!!!
 
Hi Charris.

You're going to need to make a nest, including pulling fur from around mum's nipples.

If all kits are together it might be worth making this nest there. How old are they?

Often the voal ones turn out to be male, but it's something they do when they are ready to be fed.

How is mum doing? How old is she? Has she had a little before? How long have you had her?
