Urgent bunny help needed

Young Bun
After all my worries, my doe has just given birth....

She was due to have her operation in the morning, but ovbiously now i'm not taking her anywhere..

We had a tiny look and have counted 4...never touched any..

They must have been born within the last 12hours..

My question is, they all seem cramped, will she be able to feed them all like that?

I haven't seen her go in her box yet, when do i know shes not interested and when do i butt in and take over?

What would i feed them?

I'm gutted that it's happened, i now have 4 babies on my hands...

What do i do?

please help a worried new mummy
 
I'm sure some of the members with more experiance will be along to help you. In the mean time the best thing is just to leave her and them alone.

Its quite normal for rabbits not to spend lots of time with the youngsters. Mummy rabbits may only fed their little ones once or twice a day! This means you may rarely see her with them as its also normal for her to do this at night.
