Also if you bath a rabbit you need to keep it in overnight- or shave it, so if bunny is outdoors, the mother would be too cold- best not to bath her at all. It's not a good time to interfere with a mother who has just had kits, best thing you can do is take to the vets- as quick as possible, then get her back with the kits asap.

The bunny does need to see a vet :/
Pumpkin had an accidental litter of 5 bunnies and her bottom looked nothing like that at all...
She had yellowy paws at times but never a bottom like that :/
Doesn't matter really if your mum will flip... She should have known that you having a bun would mean vet trips etc...

right going at half 5 but man mum is megaoff
Well... she'll need to get over it tbh. Your bun needs vet attention.
Personally, I'd leave it at home. My vets were adament that Pumpkin's kits should stay at home and we were not to move them.
Some people may say different though...
Back from the vets, nothing major wrong, just abit of incontinance due to having a big baby and possible urine infection
shes had anti inflamitary and antibiotics injection
got marbocyl injections to give 0.5ml for 4 days and the incontance should just clear up on its own, I have to clean her twice a ay just water x

Absolutely not- don't touch the kits or take them away from the nest if possible.
Great glad you have got an expert opinion. There is only so far the opinions of RU can go. Although everyone is pretty experienced, it's always good to see a vet in the slightest thing that is untowards with a bunny as they go down hill so so fast.
Did you put mum straight back in with baby- i'd only take her away when you bathe her now, not at any other point as she needs to be with her kits. Glad she is on the appropriate meds xxxxx
I'm not sure where to locate the thread but there is one here somewhere all about the one kit, Mum only had one bub, he/she is ginourmous! So probably why there was alot of trauma during birth. It's 12 days old now
Hope you find the thread!
matilda dosen't bother with the baby much anyway only to feed it, shes sat just outside her cage, will get a pic, shes pretty stressed out x

Well done
if the size of the baby is anything to go by i'd say ses doing an amazing job its massivee lol! it opend its eyes today for the first time, but dosn't like the light so coverd them with it little paws!
