hi,
i am hopeing someone can help me??
the strangest thing has happened and i am not sure what to do.
i have 3 female rabbits who have been together for about 1 year. they all live happily together and are the best of friends...but i went out to feed and clean their cage about 1 hour ago and discovered 2 dead baby bunnies on the bottom level of their cage (their cage is on 5 levels!!) at first i was totally shocked as i had no idea any of them were expecting and i do not have a male rabbit and they have not been in contact at all with any other rabbits (i definately have 3 females also plus i have had them all together for over a year so if one was male, not that any are , but if one was, then this would have happened sooner)
anyway i am totally gobsmacked as i have no idea at all how on earth thids has possibly happened.....then i was sad coz the 2 babies had died
so i went to continue to clean them out and i discovered in one of the boxes underneath some straw, a little nest full of fur....i didnt know what to do as i assumed the babies had died anyhow then the nest started to move!!!!! so there are obvioulsy another baby in there!!
i have never had baby bunnies before and i do not know what to do!!
ihave heard if u touch them then the mum could kill or even eat the baby/s?? so now i am so so worried inj case i have disturbed them??....i also have no idea which of my rabbits have had the babies.....so i dont know weather to remove the other rabbits in case they hurt the baby but i dont know who remove as i dont even know who is the mum !!
and i was going to clean the cage out but now i dont know if i can?? and i have no idea when to seperate the baby from mum in case its male??....i have tried to re-search on the net but i cant seem to locate the info i am after...
please can someone help......there were no babies when i went to bed last night so they must have only been born within about the last 12 hours.
many thanks.
