Can you move a house rabbit nest?

It is best to leave it alone. The mother rabbit will smell you on the nest and might abandon the babies. If you need to touch a baby first get the mothers sent on your hands, than do only what is needed. She only feeds the babies once every 1 to 2 days. The day they are born she might not feed them but it is normal. They will grow and be fine.

You probably should not move the nest until the babies are about 2 weeks old. She will not abandon them as long as the move is in the same general area and not to a different room.

I am a zoologist of 15yrs. The first yr was spent on the study of rodents. e.g. their behaviour growth and breeding pattens. We found the following statement on the 3rd doe which was quite small and obviously would not of been able to cope with a large litter all at once.

If the doe feels that there is not enough food for her or her brood or the litter will be too large for her to look after and protect all at once. She will melt half the litter into her insides and suspend their growth while the rest of the litter will grow normally and be delivered. When the doe feels that there is more food and the first half of her litter is doing well, she will allow the rest of the litter to continue to grow and give birth naturally. However this is not the case for every doe's.

If the population of rabbits increase will the population of snakes increase?

Nature is like a system in equilibrium. If a change in any component nature, quality or quantity is imposed on it, it will try to suppress that change and try to nullify it. So if the number of rabbits increase that change will be nullified by many factors other than predators. Diseases, shortage of food etc. can happen. Also, the increase in the number of rabbits will provide a good habitat for the snakes and thereby help in more breeding. But this will happen only up to a particular limit after which there will be no more change.

What age are rabbits when they are able to have babies?

Female rabbits can become pregnant as early as 4 months. This is not a good idea at all though.

If you are thinking of breeding your rabbit you should wait at least until she is a year old, and fully grown.

Female rabbits (does) can be bred when they are fully mature, usually 6 to 8 months. That is 18 in human years. Breeding a doe at 4 months could lead to fetal giantism and/ or death during kindling. Every rabbit should have it's own cage by age 8 to 10 weeks.

Is it bad to lift a pet rabbit up by its ears?

It depends on the rabbit. Some are quite comfortable sitting in your lap or very close to you. Other prefer to keep their distance. With time and patience you can teach your bunny that being held isn't a bad thing but you have to take it slow so you don't stress him/her out. I've had my rabbit for 5 years and she still will not sit in my lap but she will often sit next to me or under my chair/bed.

Also, most rabbits do not like being picked up and held while you're standing. When you do have to pick up your bunny make sure you always support it's hind legs and hold it tight against you so it can't jump out and hurt him/herself.
