I have two holland lop does that have 7 week old litters. Of the two litters - we have two girls and five boys.
Both mamas have started humping their babies and are very "amorous" - unfortunately, I no longer have a herd buck for my hollands....so it isn't like I can rebreed them to help them out (unless I go with a lionhead).
Is it ok to take the babies away from them now and let them just live together (babies)?
I normally wait until mamas wean them (these mamas are still nursing them and grooming them - but also started humping them aggressively this evening).
I'm just not used to having mamas do this at this age....usually I wind up removing the babies around 8-9 weeks cause I tend to think the longer they're with mama - the better off they are.
