Question
well .. while my neighbour went on holiday i looked after her male rabbit .. as i also have a male rabbit we let them play together in our living room then i noticed my rabbit go up behind my neighbors rabbit so i put them back in their hutches straight away that was nearly a month ago ..and recently i realized that it is not a male it is a female!! my neighbor still hasn't had chance to get her rabbit back .. and this morning i checked on her and i saw that she had lined her sleeping area with fur .. then when i looked closer i saw that it was moving i am just leaving them for the moment but i think that there is about five or six baby bunnies .. the rabbit lives outside in a hutch and i don't have a clue what to do .. as i have never had babies before!!!!! please help !

Answer
hi danielle i-do nothing just feed and water as usual give some hay as she may want to build the nest up let the doe get on with it .
in 7 to 10 days the babys will have there eyes open and start to come out the nest.ths is the time to really check them over they need to be with the mother for at least 6 weeks
