I am fostering a mother and her four week old babies for my friend's rabbit rescue in Essex (she may even be a member on here)
Anyway - Angel has just had her second litter. There are 2 in the nest.
Shall I seperate the 4 week old babies?
Also there isa lot of blood in a part of her hutch - how can I clean this up - I don't want to upset Angel.
They have a temporary 5ft hutch (only for fostering - they will all be rehomed to bigger hutches) and in the enclosed space is their toilet (all hay) and this is where the nest is. I would like to clean this out. How can I do that?
I have posted as I can't get hold of my friend and post on another forum but no one is replying so I have been directed here.
Here is some more info:
- Location: Essex
- Description (Breed, color., weight): Polish X
- Age: 11 months
- spayed/neutered?: No - will be when rehomed.
- Notes on Fecal and Urinary Output
- are the bunny's poops and pees normal?: yes
- When did they last use their litterbox?: today
- Any unusual behavior? : no
- Medical History -- has s/he been to the vet or been sick before? she went yesterday
- Diet - what does your bunny eat?: fresh hay and A&P Breeder's Pellets
- when and what did s/he eat last?: today
- movement - any unusual movements? Is s/he hopping normally?:yes
- are there any plants, chocolate or other substances within reach? No
- has the rabbit been outdoors? She is in a hutch outdoors but not on the grass since the rescue has had her.
Many thanks
