My bf’s sister is an Animal Science student at uni..I’ll ask her to bring the bunnies there to get check up.

Wikkee, the sex organs of rabbits are very small and mostly internal. That is why so many people guess wrong and then have unexpected litters. You probably checked his privates right when he was getting ready to mate so it was enlarged, if you look again tomorrow it will probably be small again.

Yes, I’m Sue. My babies eyes opened at 11 days also. It was more like 2 weeks when they all came out of the nest to explore. Your baby might start nibbling on hay just to copy mom, but it will be a while I think before they eat it as a meal. As long as your rabbits are in the house he probably doesn’t really need the box but the hay could stay there to keep him warm and comfy when he sleeps. I think I left my box in for 4 weeks but they were outside.

Yes, definately! I held mine from the first day. It’s even better now that he can see you. Becareful that he doesn’t jump out of your hand though. Always have your other hand slightly covering him incase he decides to jump. Isnt’ he just adorable now? They look like mini rabbits already, so cute.

They’re too little for pellets right now. Maybe in another week or two. They need to stay with mom for 8 weeks. They will probably be weaned at 6 weeks.

Yes, I made my nest out of timothy hay. They started nibbling when they were still in it. They still need mostly milk though. Alfalfa is o.k. for babies, but when they are about 6 months it’s best to switch to timothy hay.

Also, wait a couple months before you give them carrots or other vegetables. They are very sensitive to getting diarhea when they are young.

Hello Sue- I have been looking up information on rabbits. We bought 2 lionhead rabbits from a local pet store that we frequent. The pet store owner would not sell the rabbits seperate, she said they were mates and would sell them as a pair only and would buy the babies back from us. She said she just didn\’t have time for them any more. So anyways we bought them and keep them in a hutch together. We had the doe and buck in the same cage up until I suspected that she was pregnant. When she started to pull her hair out I emmieditly took the buck out and put him in a seperate wire cage. The babies are 2 weeks old today. They have opened their eyes and are started to explore. She had 5. 3 black just like her and and buck. One blonde one and a light grey one. Should I change out the hay that they have been living in? The pet store owner told me to bring them up to her in 4 to six weeks but I say that you had said they need to stay with mom for 8 weeks. When will they learn to eat food. I don\’t know if it was on purpose or accident but the mom keeps taking her food bowl in the room the babies are so I just started puting it in there myself. When will they learn to drink from the water bottle? The mom hates me now. She doesnt even like my hand in her cage, she attacks it. Will she ever be nice again? The male is the same. acts mad I seperated them.
And most importantly when can I put the male back with the mom, I don\’t want to breed them to often.
