urgent help - baby rabbits
hey guys
we've had our rabbits for six months with no signs of a family. although we give him 20 out of 10 for trying.
we were putting them into the new hutch tonight and **** me theres five fur *****. totally unexpected and i know its not ideal to handle them that young but we had to change hutches.
my dilema is do we need to take him out scene for a bit. i reckon theyre about 2-3wks old now as their eyes were open
cheers

You must remove the male as there's a good chance he'll kill or eat the babies.
Had pet rabbits when I was a kid and that's what happened to the first litter. Second lot lived to a ripe old age.
