How should a rabbit be fed when caring for its babies?
When caring for baby rabbits, it is important to feed the mother rabbit a diet high in fiber and nutrients to ensure she can produce enough milk for her babies. Additionally, provide the mother rabbit with unlimited access to fresh water and hay. Avoid feeding the mother rabbit foods that are high in sugar or fat, as this can be harmful to both her and her babies.

Can you breed a rabbit if she is nursing her babies?
It is not recommended to breed a rabbit while she is nursing her babies as this can put the mother and babies at risk. The mother rabbit's attention and energy should be focused on caring for her current litter before considering breeding her again. It is best to wait until the current litter is weaned before breeding the mother rabbit.
How long do you leave baby rabbits undisturbed?
Look most people say you can check up on the babies everyday your every second day just to see if they are dead your if they are getting enough milk little secret is that firstly before handling baby rabbits you wash your hands with water then pat the mother rabbit to get her scent on to your hands then there will be less Chance of the mother rabbit rejecting the babies you don't want to do this you should leave them for 3 weeks but that's if you want to.

What do you do if mother rabbit bites her babies?
If the mother rabbit dies take care of the baby rabbit like its motherfeed it the baby rabbit food.If the mother dies before babies are weaned you can get baby kitten milk replacer and a kitten baby bottle and feed the babies. IT IS A REALLY HARD JOB. The babies must be fed and then stimulated to go to the bathroom and then cleaned up just as the mother rabbit would do. (you can also feed them canned goat milk, I say canned because not too many people have a fresh goat on hand.)If the baby is old enough to be eating rabbit pellets you are OK, just give the baby extra grass hay and plenty of water (maybe put electrolyes made for rabbits in the water.)
Is it ok that a mother rabbit is stepping on her its or will this kill them?
If a mother rabbit is stepping over or around it's litter of babies, they should be okay. If the mother is acting aggressive or neglectful, it might not be okay. Sometimes a mother rabbit is not ready to accept a litter of babies, and she will kill them. If she is very young she sometimes does not have the ability to care for the newborns, and she will kill them. I had a rabbit who did this once. It is nature's way. If you think the newborns are in danger, you can remove them from the mother and try feed and care for them yourself. If they are very young you may be unsuccessful. Try calling a responsible animal store, or your local vet for advice. Some shelters have people who are very well trained in these situations also. You will know if the babies are in true danger. Good luck.
What should you do if your rabbit is not taking care of her babies?
If possible, put them in with a different does babies and let her adopt them.
