Help with baby bunnies?

[Rachel Withers]

my bunny has given birth to her first litter this weekend (3 babies) and she has done a wonderful job with the nest and looking after them but she is still pulling out allot of fur and you can see her skin at the top of both legs now and all over her belly by her nipples. Is this ok? I want to make sure she is ok and I do everything I can for her..

Lots of does continue to pull fur for days afterwards, particularly during cold weather.

Congrats on the new litter!

Thank you that is a great help . It is only at night she is doing it and I have given her plenty of bedding and am making sure she is ok while she does her mummy bit. She showed me where the babies were this morning which was lovely but I don't want to interfere too much. Thank you again for your help - we cant help but love our bunnies!!

Marshmallow is the guy in my avatar. He's white with grayish spots. The doe is pure black.

I haven't bathed them but they wander the backyard sometimes, so they've gotten in the dew.

I'd been tempted, at one point, to wash our buck. He was smelling sooooo bad! But I procrastinated and the smell faded. I guess it's a good thing I didn't wash him...I didn't realize it would mess up his fur.
I appreciate that heads-up!
