URGENT HELP PLEASE

Have you sexed the doe that was living with her? You might actually have a buck on your hands, so I'd check just to make sure.

just get a dollar plastic tote from the store, like shoebox size, and put it in there with the 'nest'... that way the babies stay in the pile. Granted its not that cold anymore, but one baby bunny outside the nest will freeze... and they're just like human babies, they don't hold still.. they just go through the steps much faster.

All right I'm ging to make a nest box tomorrow and put them in there. Thanks for the help everyone. I took some pics, they'll be up here soon!

If you use a plastic tote - make sure to put something on the bottom of it (like a washcloth) so they have traction for walking on and don't develop splay legs. You can even use paper towels if need be....but I prefer to use a washcloth and change it every few days...very carefully!

Here's a pic I took 2 days ago. There's more to come too, I just did this one quick. I'm pretty sure there's 9 babies

Don't worry haha I have, I even got my dad's friend who raised rabbits for 30 years to do it too, she's a doe. We just took too long to separate her from her brothers.

I count 9 for sure, possibly 10. You may want to try to check them again and actually count.

On a very positive note, they have made it a week. In a few days they will begin to open their eyes!
