Question
hi noticed couple of weeks ago that my rabbit had babies and they had fur on them and couple of days later there eyes open. now there eating food and drinking water. the mum keeps banging her feet like in a temper. when shall i take babies from her

Answer
Hi

Babies need to stay with their mother for a full 8 weeks.  Their eyes open at about the 10th day.  If you can remember the day they were born that would help.  If you cant then try to remember the day they opened their eyes and wait another 6 weeks before you separate them.

Good luck
