Question
What do you do when your rabbit is giving birth?

Answer
Hello, Clayton.

The most important thing you can do for you rabbit is ensure she has a proper nest box and some peace and quiet. While rabbits are great mothers, they are both nervous and territorial by nature.

If you have not already put a nest box in her cage, you should do so immediately. Here is some information on nest boxes:

Aside from the nest box, give her some space and she should take care of everything on her own. Good luck! Let me know if you have any further questions!
