Hi,
I'm totally new to the site and hoping to get some advice, I have 2 Rabbits, A giant French Lop (Dizzee) 2+ years old female, and a Lionhaired dwarf (George) 1+ Years old Male, they live in separate hutches always have, George has a run to play in, and Dizzee has free run of the garden as she is too big to escape, every now and then George is allowed free run of the garden under supervision, he has always tried it on with Dizzee but has always seemed too small to mount the Gaint :roll:
Yesterday when cleaning the poo corner of Dizzee's hutch we noticed babies in the bedroom bit, with loads of fur, this must have happened over night as there was no fur the previous night and certainly no babies.
I'm totally put of my depth
Firstly Dizzee's Hutch is not very big and does not have an attached run, as mentioned before she is usually in the garden and goes away for night,
I rushed out last night and bought a huge hutch with attached run, can i move her and the babies into this hutch ?
im worried she is going to stand on the babies?
Should i check to see how many babies there are?
should i check to see if they are all alive?
Dizzee seems ok she is eating and drinking alot but has coped well with me going into the hutch to feed and stroke her.
she is generally a big baby herself loves cuddles and kisses.
i have not seen her nurse the babies either, will they be ok?
im sorry if i sound like a rambling mad woman, im 8 months pregnant myself so at the moment know everything about human babies and nothing about baby bunnies
any advice is greatly welcome
