Problem: Article: The pregnancy for your doe will last roughly thirty-one to thirty-three days. She doesn't need any help with the birthing process, which usually happens at night or in the very early hours of the morning. This means you'll likely wake up one morning to the new litter of kits. Immediately check to see if any of the kits did not survive the birth. You may have to draw the mother away with a treat to get access to the nest box to remove any of the dead kits. You should also remove any placenta or afterbirth from the box. Don't be afraid of handling the babies as the mother will already be accustomed to your scent. If the mother gave birth to any of the kits outside of the nesting box, then you'll have to place them in the box. These kits will often be too cold and need warming. To do so safely, fill a hot water bottle with warm (not hot) water and place the bottle under the towel and bedding in the nesting box. The kits should not have direct contact with the bottle since this will likely be too warm. The doe will need constant access to food and water to eat at will while she's nursing the kits. This is to ensure she produces enough milk to adequately feed the litter. Put out plenty of fresh food daily and check her water often, as she'll drink more more than normal as well. Ensuring that she receives proper nutrition will also help reduce the possibility of the mother cannibalizing the kits. The doe's natural instinct is to stay away from the nest most of the time, so don't be alarmed if you don't actually see her nursing, which will only happen once or twice a day. Instead, look for signs that she's nursed. The babies will be warm and have round tummies from feeding. They'll also be quiet instead of making mewling noises like a kitten if they're well fed. If the babies are weak (barely respond to being handled), have sunken tummies, and have wrinkly skin (caused by dehydration), then the mother isn't properly nursing them, and you should see your vet immediately. If the mother set up the nesting boxespecially if she pulled some of her furthen she's paying attention to her mothering instincts. The problem may be as simple as your vet providing a small dose of oxytocin to help with milk production. You should also contact your vet if the litter is more than eight kits, as this may be too large a number for the mother to support all of them. If the mother has more than eight kits or she abandons the litter and will not nurse them, then your vet will likely provide instructions for bottle feeding the babies. However, results are often unsuccessful because there is no formula 100 percent adapted to newborn rabbits. The babies will toilet in the box until they are strong enough to eventually climb out of it on there own, so you'll need to clean the box daily, providing a new, dry bottom towel and clean bedding. The babies may begin nibbling at pellets as soon as two weeks after birth. However, they should not stop nursing for a full eight weeks after they're born. During this period, the babies will slowly decrease nursing and increase their consumption of pellets, but it's important that they continue to nurse as well as the mother's milk provides antibodies against pathogens. If they are weaned too soon, their immune systems might not yet be strong enough without these antibodies. You should additionally avoid feeding the rabbits greens for several months due to the potential for digestive complications. You can try tiny bits of one item at a time starting around two months, but remove it from the rabbit's diet immediately if it causes intestinal problems such as diarrhea. Good items to start with include carrots, romaine lettuce, and kale. Until they're weaned, the babies will be highly susceptible to illness and bacteria, especially E. coli, which can kill a kit in a matter of hours. You should thoroughly wash your hands anytime that you need to handle the babies until they're weaned. After that, try to handle them often because it will lead to tamer adult rabbits down the line.
Summary: Check the kits. Warm the kits if necessary. Provide the mother constant access to food and water. Look for signs of nursing. Contact your vet immediately if the mother isn't nursing. Keep the nesting box clean. Adapt the diet of the kits. Handle the babies beginning at eight weeks.
