Sadly this happens a lot but is quiet bad. First go to your vets and check that the mum definatly doesnt want the kits. Beacause if the mum does want them but you follow the next step things coloud be worse. The vet will give you some help, but from what i've heard, you will have to bring up the rabbits yourself, this may be hard but worth it, rabbits can be your best friends, you can buy from the vets a kit that has little milk bottles and other key things, you will just have to do what the mother would. Remember to be very gentle as you dont want to hurt them. and please dont blame the mother rabbit, she will need as much love as the baby rabbits. Please check with the vets if anything seems wrong even the slightest thing. ANd believe me you will have years of fun with rabbits!
Bunnies will be there when your friends arent! :D
The mother rabbit will likely return periodically to nurse and care for her babies. It's important not to disturb the nest as this may lead the mother to abandon her babies. The babies can survive without their mother for short periods as long as they are kept warm and dry.
no, but the male rabbit will impregnate the female baby offspring when they mature. so young rabbits will not kill the baby rabbit.
No because it will attack the mother and might even attack them.
The doe, also known as the mother rabbit, would look after the bunnies.
baby rabbits are called kits
You probably touched the kits when the mother rabbit was looking. That's when she will kill her young. First remove the baby rabbits, then bring it to the vet. The vet will examine them to make sure that they have any wounds, cuts, or bruises. The vet will give the baby rabbits some medicine and milk.
baby rabbit food
Yes, but not after 3 or 4 months. Every rabbit should have it's own cage. Rabbits are very territorial.
it is not dangerus but you need to make the mother rabbit feel extra comfortableand try to keep the baby rabbit safe and not let them fightbelley9743- There is no danger to the baby rabbits at any stage of their life. Although if YOU get too close to the mother she might become aggressive and try and scratch you with her two front paws. Rabbits are vegetarian so there is no problem with mothers trying to eat their babies.
you have to be very careful separating your baby rabbits because, if you leave it to long the mother will suffer superior depression. make sure your rabbits are feeding well and then after roughly 1and a half-2 weeks is about the right time to separate them. NOTE: make sure the owner your giving them too either has rabbit handling experience ( e.g. has or has had a rabbit) to ensure that the baby will live a happy life without its mother.
Yes, mother rabbits eat their young. Its is the same for the Hamster. When the mother rabbits eats it own young, it means that the mother rabbit is stressed out and angry. Advise: If the Mother Rabbit born a baby, it must be separated from the Mother rabbit. You may put it in a different cage.
