Do you have to remove the male rabbit from the cage after the female rabbit has given birth?

The buck (male rabbit) should not be near a doe (female rabbit) who is kindling or newborn kits (baby rabbits). The buck will get too excited and the doe will get overwraught. As he trys to rebreed her (rabbits are capable of rebreeding as soon as she kindles) and she tries to get away and/or protect the newborns they probably will both stomp the kits flat. Even in the wild the male rabbit is not welcome in the nest until babies start to come out to nibble on grasses.(about 2 to 3 weeks). In addition, if the male is stressed or has not been fed properly it will kill the kits.

∙ 13y agoThe male and female rabbits should only be together in a cage long enough to breed. Every rabbit should have it's own cage after it reaches 3 months of age. YES TAKE HIM OUT OF THE CAGE AND NEVER NEVER NEVER PUT HIM BACK. When you want to breed your doe again take her to his cage and then take her out and return her to her cage. When your babies are 6 to 8 weeks old you will start weaning them. You can start selling them then. Any that you are going to keep need their own cage by 3 months of age.

YOU TAKE THE DOE TO THE BUCKS CAGE. You should remove the doe from the bucks cage immediately after you witness mating take place.
