Help my rabbit is giving birth to a surprise litter!

[Fallout4fan]

I had gone out to clean my rabbit out and had done half when I went to her bed and noticed she had pulled some of her fur out and made a nest. I put my hand in the fur and came across a baby so I withdrew my hand quickly and closed the box and ushered mum back inside her hutch. I've fed and watered her as normal and put in some extra hay but I'm at a loss at what I do now. This was at about 1pm and I've left her to it but I'm concerned I've done some damage by disturbing her. Does anyone please have any experience or advice on what to do now?
Thank you.

These bunnies are soooooo cute. Sounds like mum is doing a great job.

My previous bun was the last one of a litter that had been handled by the owners family regularly from birth - she was relatively okay with being picked up as a result (didn't like it, but would put up with it). So keep on handling the babies as much as you can get away with. My current bun was a rescue and not handled much at all - he's a kicking, wriggling nightmare and I have to allow an hour to catch him if we need to visit the vet (he runs away and hides under things!).

Aww sorry to hear about your hamsters purplehair.

Fernie, I'm glad you've said that because I love handling them and I thought it would help them get used to it 😊

I would carry on handling them as much as mum will allow. My previous bun was handled from a few days old by a 3 and a 5 year old, so was used to being carried about by the time we took her in. My DDs (then aged 6) could pick her up and although she gave them death stares, she tolerated it.

Your baby buns are so cute. Have you got good homes for them yet?

A couple are starting to open their eyes. I managed to handle them more today but mum kept nudging my hand to put them down so i did. Didn't fancy a chunk being taken out of my hand lol they are so cute.

They've grown so quickly!! super sweet :)

I think this is my favourite thread at the moment

Thank you mybunny

I am happy to provide pictures galore as it's nice to see other people enjoying them as much as I do.
I really don't know how I will be able to stand re-homing them as I've become very attached to them 😍

OH my! How they have grown! Aren't you just the proud Mum? Bunny mum seems like she is doing an excellent job with her babies. This really is the best thread..

This thread is my daily source of warm, fuzzy feelings

Aww...look at their ickle wickle fuzzy wuzzy noisy wosies...

Ahem

This thread is the highlight of my day. Thanks for the pictures op.

Congratulations!!!

I took one of my girl bunnies to be neutered some years back - when I went to collect her in the evening, the vet said "sorry, we couldn't do the operation". Panicking about problems, I asked why - she'd given birth in the travel case to 4 cutie babies!!! We had no idea she was pregnant!

By the time they were 8 weeks there was no way I could give them away so they all stayed with me

Best of luck with it all - they truly are gorgeous!!!!

We had two 'females' once. Until we woke up and found a litter of baby rabbits

Oh my goodness how have I missed this thread until now! They are so cute!
I neeeeeeed a baby bunny, or at least a cuddle of one please

Hehe baby bunnies are so cute I just want to cuddle them all day.
I will be posting photos every day as they change so quickly and I don't want anyone to miss anything

AWWWW they're so so cute!!!

I really want a bunny now!

Just spent a good hour cleaning up the mess made by my senior male bunny after he spent the morning shredding a cardboard box in the kitchen. I'm showing him the pictures of the baby buns for 'inspiration' as they're sooooo cute and he is not!

Ah, Fernie - CurrentBun might think you're buying him new baby bunny companions and get the next cardboard box ready to evict those "pesky pigs".

I bet he had hours of fun shredding too , who can deny him

mybunny I'm watching these photos, they're blossoming into goregrous little bunnies, especially when they open their eyes and start exploring.

Well this morning there are babies bunnies out of the nest! Happily exploring and with their eyes fully opened. My son even got to hold them even though they were rather wriggly.

Enjoy 🐰

I can only upload 3 pics today unfortunately. MN won't let me flood you with gorgeous baby bunnie pics. 🐰

They're so cute! Ahhhh

They are gorgeous, like tiny reindeer

Are you looking for homes for them or are you still planning on keeping them ( six bunnies + parents eek that's a handful, not to mention a lot of pooh)

Squeeeeeee! Gorgeous cutesy ickle wickle fluffely scamps. How do you get anything done with them around to coo over?
