Question
OK, just 10 minutes ago my rabbit had babies. I have 3. I kept 2 in one cage because they seem to not fight. I left the other running around. About 10 mminutes ago, i check back to see my rabbits and 3 baby bunnies were outside the cage and 1 inside the cage. There was fur everywhere. I immediately grabbed a plastic spoon and placed all 4 baby bunnies in a container filled with bedding. I took out some of the fur and placed it on them. I see the 2 are breathing and 2 aren't. I'm not sure what to do next??? are theses babies gonna live any longer? and also, i kept them inside my house. PLEASE REPLY ASAP

Answer
Separate the mom of the babies alone. Keep the babies in the box with the fur and place it in with mom. If the babies are really cold, then they are dead. Mom will nurs them. You can tell mom from the other because she pulled hair. You need to keep the other bunnies all separate, because one of them is a male.
