Does a pregnant rabbit need to be put in a hutch on her own?
Although you can keep a pregnant rabbit in a hutch with others it is best to remove her and give her a separate space a couple weeks before she is due to give birth. Pregnant females get really aggressive during the last days of their pregnancy and could possible harm other rabbits or even herself. During the last few days the rabbit will begin "nesting" by pulling out her own hair to make her birthing bed. This nest could be interrupted and destroyed by other rabbits inside the cage. In most cases a number of things can happen if the female gives birth with other rabbits in the same hutch: 1) Other rabbits will kill or physically harm the newborn rabbits 2) The mother will abandon the babies at birth 3) Because of the sharing of the cage the babies could get trampled on by other rabbits There is a blog on this site that provides more information on pet care Peticulous.com
