My rabbit is preparing to deliver her first litter. I have a nest box with plenty of hay bedding in her cage. The nest box has been in her cage for several weeks. The problem is she's building a nest outside of the nest box. My question is if she should have the kits outside of the nest box and instead birth them in the nest she's creating outside the nest box, should I leave the kits there or move them to the nest box? The cage has a standard wire mesh floor. My concern is the kits would be very uncomfortable on the wire floor unless she builds a very nice, thick nest where the babies can't touch the wire mesh. I guess my answer is I would have to put them in the nest box otherwise they will crawl out of the nest she's created and onto the wire mesh floor. My other concern is if I move the kits to the nest box will momma nurse them or ignore them. I can't see that I would have any choice but to move the kits to the nesting box and hope momma nurses them, but would appreciate any answers from someone with experience with this situation.
