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

How do you keep your baby rabbit warm outside its got a hutch?
Baby rabbits should be in a nest with the rest of the litter, inside the hutch. The babies are kept warm through their combined body heat. The mother should be with them in the hutch because she needs to feed them (with her milk) - this also keeps them warm. If you have an orphaned baby rabbit, you should keep it inside with you because it needs special care. It's not easy to hand-raise rabbits. For the sake of the rabbit, contact a local wildlife rehabber or rabbit rescue agency and ask for help. Cold weather is a stress on rabbits, and so is reproduction. To limit your rabbit's stress, don't breed her in the winter - only in good weather. Pet rabbits are most comfortable between 50-75F (10-23C). If your rabbit gives birth in the winter, make sure they're all safe and warm. The hutch should be completely dry (protected from rain and snow), and it should face away from the wind. When it gets lower than 50F (10C), all rabbits benefit from having a "nest" box inside their hutch (even if they're not breeding). Put hay in it, too - here they can go to snuggle in and warm up. When it gets lower than 40C, rabbits need to come inside where there's artificial heating. See the related links/questions below for more details.

Do rabbits get lonley by themselves?
YES! Rabbits are very sociable animals and they love company and get bored easily. If the hutch is outside they should have a playmate and plenty of toys to keep them entertained. The hutch should also be big enough that they have roaming space and ca stand up if they want. The best pairing is a spayed female and a neutered male but males can get on well although they may need neutering if aggressive behaviour develops. When buying a pair it is best to buy two that are already used to eachother's company from the same pet store. Rabbits left on their own in small hutches at the bottom of the garden and forgotten are NOT happy rabbits. They need excercise and affection every day.
