Hello:wave:
Some of you may recall from my other thread that I am due to home 2 rabbits in a few weeks. I went to see said buns last night (they are beautiful - though my BEW is more a BEW with grey nose!:lol and all babies and Mum seem very "spritely" and in good health (Dad is currently being fostered until babies "leave home" so I didn't see him).
ANYWAY, I noticed that the hutch was more than a tad "wiffy" and the lady apologised for this stating that she was afraid to clean it and remove the nest until the babies left Mum. The babies are currently 6 weeks old - does she need wait until they are re-homed to remove the nest and give the hutch a good clean or can she do it sooner please?:?
ALSO, she stated that the Mum is a very good one and is worried how she will react when all her kits have gone (though Dad will return to live with her once neutering/spaying done)...can she do anything to help Mum out on that score? I don't like the thought of her all lonely...some form of soft toy??
Thanks for any help,
TP
