pregnant rabbit--help!!

Question
My rabbit is pregnat, since I am new to this, I dont know what to do. I know that I need a nest box, but I dont know when to put it in to the cage. Also what to put in the nest box. Now it is getting cold outside and the cage is outside, should I put it inside. I herd that mother rabbits will eat thair babies, is this true? Thanks

Dear Riss,

A well cared for mother rabbit will not eat her young.  If y ou provide her with a clean, quiet, comfortable place and don't stress her, the mama and babies should be fine.  Please see:
