The temperatures you are talking about would be the air temperature. Underground (in the tunnels) the temperature will be much more stable. If you bring them in to somewhere much warmer (like your house), that will be a big shock for them-- probably not the best idea. (Stable temperatures can...

Rabbits can have bunnies in a nestbox full of hay or straw. A rabbit nestbox is usually about a foot wide and 18" long for large breeds, and smaller breeds can be fine with even less space. One important detail: the opening needs to be at the top, or the upper half of one side, so the bunnies...

Oh, that makes sense. I didn't understand that at first. Yes, bunnies are really good at finding little spots to get through! I don't think gender would make much difference in how they acted toward a younger bunny, at their current age (the younger ones are under a month, and the older ones...

That's great news! I do not know for sure if that is what happened or not. But if you had removed the older ones when the new litter was born, there would have been no chance for them to hurt a younger one. (It might have died anyway, if the older bunnies did not cause the death, but you would...

Sexing mistakes are more common when bunnies are young. So if the vet was sexing them when they were young, that could explain the mistake. After that, every one "knew" what gender they were, so no-one bothered to check again (until the bunnies appeared.) Even experienced breeders with can...

Have you considered eating rabbit meat? (One way of dealing with all the bunnies.)

I think that should be fine for now. Until you're ready to actually re-home them, I don't see any need for them to be separated more than that.

Either one is possible. If she is carrying material around to build a nest, she will probably give birth within the next 3 days or so. If she is pregnant now, she cannot get pregnant again while she is pregnant. But if she gives birth, then as soon as the last bunny is born, she will be...

Yes, keep the male away, unless you want her to get pregnant AGAIN as soon as she gives birth this time!

It can be helpful to have two pens, with wire mesh dividing them, and a door in between that you can open or close. That way they can always interact through the wire, so they don't get too lonely, but you have the option to separate them or let them be together.

I would too, but for the doe I would probably wait 2 months after the buck was separated. If she is already pregnant again, that would give her time to have the litter and nurse them to weaning age. I'm pretty sure the spay is easier & cheaper if she is NOT pregnant at the time.

To answer an earlier question: After looking at the photos of the bunnies, and making a guess about their age, I think they should stay outdoors. Newborn bunnies are naked & blind, and can easily die of cold unless they have a good nest to stay in (so taking them into a warm house can make...

I'm guessing age is around 3 weeks. They are almost certainly 2+ weeks but probably younger than 4 weeks. I would leave the mother with them for at least 2 more weeks, but make sure there is also a place where she can have more babies safely in case she is already pregant again. They can...
