Hi bunny people!
I've posted a lot on here about rabbit breeding - and now I am looking for some help. My doe (great mother to numerous past litters) is in a new hutch set up and on her 24th gestation day. My issue is that in this new hutch area the "bedroom" indoor portion is so large that I can't have an alternate nesting box outside of it. She has a big run on the bottom floor. The top floor is wrapped with plastic wrap.
My question is: if it is snowing or really chilly will she go into the bedroom/nest area with the babies or will she force herself to stay away from the bedroom and chill herself?
I know that does avoid the nest so as to not attract predators. I have never had this issue before because I've been able to set up alternate comfort zone areas.
Thanks!
