Question
Hi, sorry 2 bother u again, u might remember I asked u yesterday about my rabbits Dandy and Angel, and about weather I could keep them together while Dandy was pregnant. I also asked weather she could still have free run of the garden while she was pregnant. (U suggested keeping her in the whole pregnancy, but she'd die in our concervetry, it's so hot, and she hates being cooped up, so keeping her in the entire time's out of the question, really) Anyway, I was gonna ask, what would actually happen if I do keep Dandy and Angel together while Dandy's pregnant, would it affect the babies in any way? (Angel could put up with it if Dandy started getting a bit grumpy, they really are fond of each other, and I wouldn't wanna seperate them unless it was totally necessary) Also, if Dandy's running free in the garden, would it matter if Angel was running around too? (our garden's huge)
Thanks 4 your time, and sorry 2 bother u again.

Answer
Hi Kloe

OK, you could keep her out and both of them together until she starts making a nest (about day 25). Then you have to take them apart and keep Dandy in her hutch. If the conservatory is too hot, you'll have to put her somewhere else? Is the garden or another room feasable?

Hope this Helps
