My female rabbit (Leia) got out with my male (Wesley) recently and mated. About two weeks ago. I made a post about it and stuff. What I didn't know then was that Wesley had gotten out with her previously about a month ago. Her 30th day is the 15th of September (according to my brother, he didn't speak up before because he thought he might get in trouble). About 3 days ago I brought her outside to run around and such per usual. To my surprise, she started trying to burrow. At first I thought she was simply digging around, but every time I brought her outside she would go to the same place and dig. I quickly realized what she was doing and brought her inside so I could keep watch of her (this is when my brother told me she had gotten out with the male). I gave her a nesting box and hay but she doesn't seem to want to use it. Sometimes she begins digging in it, but she hasn't pulled fur our yet.
I know a rabbit's first litter usually doesn't make it, but I want to do whatever I can to try and save them.
I thought of putting a few dead leaves in her nesting box to simulate where she had been digging a burrow, but I didn't know if that was dangerous or not to the babies.
Any tips would be appreciated!
(Both male and female are Mini Lops. Female is 6 years old, male is 3 months old)
