Question
hi i have been to check on my rabbit today and to my supprise found a litter of kits in the hutch
it is the rabbits first time but she had made a nest with her fur in the compartment that is enclosed
i have not touched or done anything yet but on looking i have noticed thay are all pink but there is one that is blue i can see it moving so think it is alive just wondering why and what i should do next,

Answer
hi anthony-dont do anything it just means it will be a darker colour .
feed as normal and i put hay in the cage so the does can use it to make a bigger nest-after about 3/4 days remove the doe check the nest remove any dead babys recover them and put the doe back then just let her get on with it.
