What else can I help you with?
Does a rabbit protect her den for the kittens?
yesNo.If your rabbit was wild, and there were rats around, she'd move her babies to a safer nest, or she would abandon them. It is very unlikely that she'd stick around and fight the rats. That's just not what rabbits do.Because they're your pets, your rabbit can't move her babies to a safe place. As their owner, that's your job to make the nest safe. If the babies are newborn and there are rats around, your rabbit might eat her babies. If the babies are more grown than that, she may let the rats steal them or she may try and fight the rats. Letting your pet fight a wild animal probably counts as criminal negligence (although laws differ from place to place); either way, it's terribly immoral.
Will a pregnant wild rabbit return to its nest if scared?
probably not.
What does it mean when a rabbit gets rid of its nest?
With domestic rabbits, the owner takes out the nest box when ever she/he wants to. In the wild, cottontails get rid of their nest when their babies are weaned (done nursing for their life). When close to giving birth, a mother rabbit will make a nest of dried grass and fur from her underbelly and give birth to her litter there. She will nurse them for about 5-8 weeks and then wean them. This is when the babies are on their own, and the mother goes off to regular life!
If a female rabbit gets pregnant by her brother do you have to kill her?
No! The babies will be semi-wild, but still sweet! Wild rabbits do it! Don't kill the rabbit!
Will a wild rabbit use the same nest. we found a rabbit nest and the bunnies grew up so will the mother use the same nest for her next litter. thanks?
No... shell have a nother nest to have when she has a next litter. Because she would want her bunnies that are born to have that nest.
Does the wild rabbit mother stay with the babies once they are born?
yes
Do wild rabbit babies have a tail?
No, wild rabbit babies, also known as kits, are born without a visible tail. Their tail will start to develop and become more noticeable as they grow older.
Nests are rabbit holes that are...?
A wild doe(female rabbit) will make her nest inside a hole underground. Where her kits are warm and safe.
How can you tell when a wild rabbit is ready to give birth?
It is really hard to tell. If she makes a nest then she is prob. having babies. But stay away from them please, unless you absolutely know the mom died. They don't come to feed their babies often and they wouldn't feed them around you anyway.

What are some interesting facts about cottontail rabbit babies?
Cottontail rabbit babies, also known as kits, are born hairless and blind. They are typically weaned by their mother after about 3 weeks and are able to hop around on their own by the time they are 2 weeks old. Kits are very vulnerable to predators in the wild, so their mother will only visit them a few times a day to avoid drawing attention to the nest.
Can rabbits live together?
yes they can, cause they help take of their babies Every rabbit should have it's own cage (space). In the wild rabbits compete for territory. There has to be enough space for everyone or fighting will start. Does do not take care of each other's babies unless you foster them to a doe and she doesn't realize they are not hers. She will kick improperly fostered babies out of the nest.
