ang101 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 My bunny has give birth to 3 babies last week on tuseday, but since saturday she has taken them out of the nest and brought them down to the lower level. does anyone know why she has done this? all 3 babbies are all growing and are healthy. could it be cause its hot in the nest and she finds itcooler down at the bottom.

*Peaches* Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'm no bunny expert but I'd say its probably where she feels safer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminator Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Yes its quite possible she has moved them to the coolest place you will find she will take them back if she feels the need wouldnt worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teeny Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 If all three are being cared for then I wouldn't worry , as long as the babies are warm and nesting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornfree Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Mother rabbits remove babies from the nest if theyre not due to survive, but if shes taking care of them then there must be some other reason. Not sure abuot moving them into the cold as my baby rabbits just wriggled to the top of the fur to get cooler. But you probably shouldn't worry as long as shes taking care of them.

ferret face Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 why let her have babys in the upper level in the first flace....it spells disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mummysaz21 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 ferret face you cant tell a rabbit where and where not to have them, if she had them in the upper level, she should have realy blocked it off so it was like a single cage, but she couldent have stopped her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAVIA37 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I agree, and as long as the babies are thriving and she's caring for them, just learn from this how she behaves and anticipate for next time, and isolate her into which ever area she starts to nest, until the babies are up and running.
