as you all know my rabbit had babies and yesterday she moved all of her wood shavings into the nest and moved the babies near the door. is it normal to move the babies around and another thing 2 of the babies had dried stuff on there noses as if they had been running and the one that died last week had the same kind of stuff on its nose and im worried if theres something wrong with theses two. ive moved them back into the corner were they were so they can get warm again. so please could you help me with my questions
thank you
 
Hi, I'd leave mum to it, usually when its hot they uncover their babies, and when its cold they pluck more fur - they seem to know better than us.
The stuff on the nose will just be dried milk and very common, no need to worry. I wouldnt move the nest back you will undoubtedly stress mum.
HTH
 
All of my kits had dried milk on thier faces and all of them are still doing well to this day! They are almost a year old now too! I hvae heard of mummies moving their kits when the wheter changes. the babies keep eachother warm pretty good too. I don't think it is anything to worry about.

Best Wishes!
