I work in a pet store and made a fewnice discoveries when opening the store this morning:
a) one of our Netherland dwarfrabbits that we thought was a male is in fact a female
b) yesterday we only had six rabbits, and overnight that number doubled!
c) putting a sign up that reads "Please do not disturb! I have babies!"reads to most as "Put your hands in my cage and try to lift up my nestbox!" *roll eyes*
Mommy and babies seem to be doing just fine, though I do have a few concerns. When I put a cardboard box and a couple handfuls of timothy hay in the cage, she went to work on a nest. All six kits are snuggled in the nest safe and sound, but mommy didn't pull any of her fur.Should I be worried about this? She's a first time mom, and about 6-8months old, as far as I can guess. I have an extra My First Home cage that I'll be taking into work in the morning to move mom and babies to the backroom to get some peace and quiet. What other things do I need to know? Should I be giving her a vitamin supplement? Are there certain veggies that I can give her that will give her an extra boost? Any other info or tips anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated!Thanks!
