My holland lop was pregnant and I had no idea. She had them the 18th of June.
She had last minute tried to make a nest( after giving birth) but it didnt go well. I helped a bit and it worked. They have pudgy bellies and light fuzz at day three now. She refused to keep them in a nesting box and would shovel them out. So now they are in a nest only of bedding and some hay inside the cage. We have a thin washcloth we could use, but is it okay to put that over them? The mother did pull fur but put it in her litter box and was wet and no good.Will that make a difference for the babies to keep warm and survive? There are five kits total. She feeds them very well and for a first time mother is doing well from what i read. In addition to consider to my questions is that my room gets pretty hot(muggy-ish) so i have an airconditioner on cool air and low fan at 73 degrees. i shut it off every now and again to make sure it doesnt make them cold because i worry. :nerves1 Any pointers would be great from people who know or have had kits before.The mother is a holland lop and the father is a dwarf hotot.
