Question
my male and female rabbits are still in the same cage. and she has just given birth yesterday, they seem really happy and so do the babies, should i seperate them?

Answer
Oh yes, you should separate the two.  It's not likely that the male will hurt the babies, but mama can become pregnant right away after giving birth.  With the parents separated, mama can devote all of her time and energy to her babies.

The male may not want to be separated, so if possible, try to set things up so they can still interact between the sides of the cage.

Good luck
