Hi, im new to the forum.
ive kept rabbits for over 20yrs and currently have 8.
2weeks ago, my otter female had 2 baby bunnies. healthy litter of 2. their 2wks old now and its was very cold lastnight. i uncovered the cage this morning and checked on the babies and they were cold! ive brought them in and warmed them up. mums fine with me touching babies, this is her 2nd litter.
the hutch is covered with a thick blanket and then waterproofing all night but its not keeping them warm enough.
has anyone got any suggestions? my husband says a hot water bottle may help?? but i dont want them getting ill from the rubber...
i would bring them all in (mum tutsie, big sister from 1st litter tootie and 2 babies all live together) but i dont think it will help as the mum & sister are out in the garden everyday.
im just totally stuck to what to do. i cant let these babies die from the cold!
