When I went to feed fudge today the babies had all came out of the nest and into the run which is on grass. this is the first time they have been out, i removed them and locked them away while mum was out in the run. is this bad for them? They seemed to be enjoying themselves jumping around they are nearly 3 weeks and are nibbling the food now. Mum seems to be enjoying the peace away from them.

Kits leaving the nest

Grass can be risky for such young bunnies. They need to be introduced to it gradually (like really graudally), like with any other food.
It is time for them to start coming out of the nest though, so ideally they need to have somewhere away from their nest that can explore, but that is safe (i.e. not on the grass) and still have the ability to return to the nest as and when they want.
