Have a Pregnant Rabbit?

So do you have a pregnant rabbit and need some info? well than i can help. you need to make a nest box and i will tell you how later and put timothy hay in the nest box. the rabbit should pull hair. and to figure out what the due date is for her than you would think about a month after you bred them. its about 28 to 30, 32 days. you will need to put the nest box in about four days before the due date. when she has the babies make sure there is enough hair in there to keep them warm. if there isn't enough then you could try to pull hair from the mom or you could bring them inside, most likely in your bathroom. make sure it is always warm in there. and make sure no cats get a hold of them so i would always keep the door shut. and if you have them in the house make sure there in a cage or any thing big enough to keep the nest box and the mom in. you want to keep the mom in to so she can feed the babies. but if you want you can take the mom out at night and bring her back in in the morning when you wake up. in about ten days then the eyes should start opening. and in about two months it is time to wean them and if you have a lot of them i would sell them if you don't have enough space. don't keep them in there to long or they might fight or mate. and you will need to put them in separate cages if you have enough room. if you don't then you could put them together for a little bit no to long they would also fight and mate. oh yeah and when the babies haven't been in the nest box very often they've been jumping out and staying out a lot, maybe a month later it depends. then you can take it out.
