Question
Rabbit gave birth last night unexpectedly, what do i need to do?

Answer
hi aaron- make sure the doe is on her own with the babies and ensure she has plenty of nesting matrial in the hutch such as hay or straw.dont be in a hurry to see babies or she may kill them.
feed and water her as usual in about 3 days time take her out and just check to see if babies ok .any dead remove then cover them up again and replace the doe.
