I am so excited to tell you guys this! It took everything in me to keep this secret and not tell you as soon as I found out!
Oh my fuck what should I name them?
Information on the bunnies
The baby bunnies are safe in their nesting box which has a lid on it to keep the warmth in. Air can get in through the box as the lid has slight gaps, ensuring the babies don’t suffocate. The nesting box does have a hole at the front of it, however Simba (the mum) creates mountains of hay in front of it to stop anything from getting in, and to make sure they are warm.
As soon as we found out about the babies we immediately
separated the buck and doe, as the buck can impregnate the doe again which could ultimately take her attention off the newborns and onto the ones inside of her. Bucks can also eat the babies, however we believe he is past that stage now.
We put a long piece of wood down the middle of the rabbit run, both bunnies have a lot of space to move around and this is only temporary!
We also cleaned a lot of the poo and wee out of the cage (NOT THE NEST) and refilled it with fresh straw and hay. We feed both Simba and Skippy pellets and hay, and also give them fresh grass, carrots and other vegetables that are safe for bunnies.
At the moment i am not feeding the baby bunnies myself as Simba is feeding them. I would only intrude on their eating if i believed some of the babies were underfed or malnourished.
I believe the babies are about 8 or 9 days old, as they have not opened their eyes yet but they have fur and are a little bit bigger than a newborn kit!
