Many illnesses share similar symptoms but require different treatments. A medical exam is necessary for an accurate diagnosis, without which appropriate treatment cannot be given.
You should always consult your vet before following any suggestions for medication or treatment you have read about. The wrong treatment could make your rabbit worse or mean your vet is unable to give the correct treatment because of drug interactions. Even non prescription drugs can do harm if given inappropriately.

Awww, congratulations on the litter! That happened to me, I thought I had two girls, and then a while later I had a boy, a girl, and 6 kits!
:shock: :lol: !!
As for moving them, I personally wouldn't until they are up and start forming into "real" little bunnies! Usually that stage is around 3-4 weeks, so you have a while to wait. If it is impossible to keep making that drive everyday, I suppose you can do 2 weeks at the least.
They will need checking on daily though to make sure they are healthy and getting milk. Also, they mum will need to be looked after to make sure she is still healthy after the birth. Hopes this helps

Aww how sweet! I look forward to seeing the pics!
Make sure you give the mum lots of extra food as she will be very hungry.
Spring greens are good for milk production (but be careful if she's not used to veg, as you don't want to upset her tummy).
If you get the dad bunny neutered now he will be ready to go back in with your doe when the babies have left.
Best of luck to you!
