How old do baby rabbits have to be before the male can be around them?

Answer 1

Rabbits are ground-dwelling animals. When they are held, they will get frightened. But, if you hold them correctly, they will settle down a bit. They feel secure when you hold their paws (especially the back ones) and not let them dangle.

Answer 2

You dont hold them when they are first born, otherwise the mother or father could eat them. Usually, you should wait for a couple of weeks after theyre born. And also when they are off there mothers milk. Hope this helps

Answer 3

I would imagine that sense a rabbit will live for around 10 years if kept healthy, then so that could be 100 years for a human, so them 1 year of a bunny would be 10 in human years so it your bunny is 1 then it would be around 10 if it is 5 it would be 50 in rabbit years. Ya I know its confusion.

Answer 4

NEVER let the babies and father in a cage together.. he will try to mate the babies and will hurt them (start fighting the males.. I've seen some terrible damage done from housing adult rabbits together.. even littermates once they reach puberty). Rabbits have no sexual boundaries.. a father will breed it's young a mother will breed with her son.. brother and sister will make babies. Never put unneutered rabbits of the opposite sex together unless you want them to mate.

Answer 5

Male rabbits should not be around baby rabbits until they are at least 3-4 months old, as this is when they reach sexual maturity and may try to mate with the babies. It is best to keep them separated until the babies are old enough to be weaned and able to defend themselves.

Answer 6

when my guinea pig had babies, we had to wait 3 days until we could hold them.

Answer 7

3 weeks
