So I got a surprise this morning, my rabbit has been acting strange for a few days and since I am VERY careful to not let her and my male together I assumed it was a false pregnancy. Just incase I put her in a quiet room and gave her a nesting box, well I woke up to six babies this morning. I've been readin online about their first litters and every site I've seen says she will be a terrible mother and abandon them. Is this true?! Is there anything I can do to ensure she will take care of them? I know to check their bellies to make sure they're eating and that she will only feed them twice a day. She finished having them about an hour ago so right now she's just eating and relaxing and acting like their not there (which I believe is normal) I don't want to see these babies die!
Also, like I said I am VERY careful to not let the male and female together (and he has an appointment to be neutered in a couple weeks) they have full run of the house but I only ever let one out at a time, he's a mini Rex, is it possible at all that this happened through the cage? They both have pretty large cages and I don't think that's possible, I have no idea how this happened!!
