no, when the young are born, the father should be kept away from them as it tries to kill them by sitting on them. The mother should also be kept away as she will eat them.

When the young are born, you should keep them away from the parents and feed them all seperately from them to prevent death.

Answer: Not true^^

Of course there is always the possibility of an accident, if the motehr eats the babies it is for a good reason. new mothers will take off a leg or an ear by accident, but if she eats the kits they are either usually already dead. She eats them and the afterbirth so that the scent doesn't attract predators.

The father is not involved in the kits normally, but there are known cases of the father helping.

When rabbits breed in captivity it is best to take the father away as to not only get the female pregnant again but he may kill them. Rabbits are extremely territorial and he may see them as a threat. Rabbits make no association to them being their kits.

Also, if he does choose to help he may accidentally kill them or hurt them.
