Hey guys,
The last bunny that I expected to have babies today had them last night. She had six and didn't even try to make a nest. They were all scattered and cold I only managed to save 3 of them. They are still a little cold but wriggling, I had to use my tummy as a hot water bottle.
Anyway, I'm not sure what to do from here. I have doe that is currently raising a litter (she is taking excellent care of her own three babies), I was wondering if it would be a good idea to put them in there and how I could do that without disturbing her? Will the kits advanced age be a problem, they are about 3 days older.
Should I try to get the real momma to nurse them at least once before putting them in the other nest box?
Thanx for your help!
