Last night my female gave birth to a litter of 4 unexpectedly, she had the babies in the middle of the night on her cage floor. Woke up this morning to discover the babies which were cleaned, together, and covered in her fur. She is an indoor bunny with her own room. I moved the babies into an 8X13 shoe box (no printed images on the box) and filled with bedding on the bottom, hay and the fur she pulled out originally and cut an opening big enough for an entrance for mom to go in and out, with about an inch base to prevent the babies from crawling out. I went out and purchased another cage for the babies to grow up in, lined the cage sufficiently to keep them warm and safe, filled it with proper nesting materials, put that next to her cage and then put the shoe box I made in the new cage. She has free roam of the room and access to both cages so she can come and go as she pleases. My question "Is the nesting box sufficient size for her to be able to feed her babies and move around in or should they be put back where she originally had them on her cage floor". Overall, my girlfriend and I are new to baby bunnies and didn't expect to wake up to babies. Any advice at all would truly be appreciated and helpful. Definitely want to make sure we are doing the right things. At this point the babies are only about 16 hours old. Right now their bellies do appear full and they are warm/moving so I believe these are all good signs so far. Attached is a picture of the girls rooms current set up.
