Question
hi i was really suprised to find that my rabbit had given birth to 8 babys as we didnt think she was preagnet i would like some help as i know nothing about breeding. how will i know if she feeds them? if she dont feed them how often do i have to? when do we put them on baby nugets?

Answer
hi denice -the doe will feed them but dont expect to see it happen they do it when all is quite
after there eyes are open 7-10 days i introduce bread and milk mixture and a week later i give them some bran flakes to mess about with ,
they should be on solids at about 4-5weeks old
