Question
i have 3 rabbits in the same hutch together, i am not too sure on the sex but think one of them may be pregnant. is it ok to keep all 3 rabbits together or seperated from the other 2?

Answer
Hi Donna

If you don't know their sex for sure they should all be separated.  Otherwise you are going to end up with tons of babies.  The one the is pregnant definitely needs to be separated so that you can prepare a nest box for her.  

I will give you a site on how to sex them.  If you plan on keeping them all together they should be spayed/neutered.  Otherwise I would suggest keeping them separate.

Here are 2 really good sites that can help you understand the whole process.

Thank you and good luck

Pam
