Question
Hi I am wondering if you can help me our Rabbit had babies last night and we don't know if we can touch them? They are all under her fur that she made in the corner of the cage we don't even know how many she had. Please help

Answer
As long as she is used to you handling here, there should be no problem with you touching them. In fact, you should at least check them all to make sure they are healthy and remove any dead or severely injured ones.

If you are worried about her being a bit defensive, tempt her to the far side of the cage with a favourite treat.
