You guys havealready answered many of my questions. But here is the restof the story. . .
When my children and I came home fromspring break last monthmy DH informedme aboutfinding a dead "baby bat" in the rabbit hutch. Now thisreally surprised me and upon further investigation I discovered 8 moredeceased babies. Having had rabbits while I was growing up Itold my husband that we needed to separate the rabbits or we'd havemore babies. Famous last words. . .
While I was walking the dog tonight shewould not leave the hutch alone. When I looked in what shouldI see, but five little babies. I immediately removed the buckand placed him in a temporary home (until I can build a hutchtomorrow). I placed the babies in the nesting box and coveredthem with as much loose fur as I could find. OK, problemsolved for the time being? Yeah right, the doe is havingnothing to do with the babies. It is after midnight now so Ithought I would check them in the morning before I wake the family forschool. I did make sure both rabbits have food and water, anyother suggestions??? ~ Minnie Mouse
