Hi,
My mini rex had 3 babies yesterday and I have a few questions. Every time I go into the barn she is not by the babies, mind you this is only 2 to 3 times a day. Their nest is full of hair and feel warm, it is in the 30 degree area. How often do mama rabbits feed their babies? How soon do they get hair? Is it natural for mama to spend time away from the babies? We are rural folks and plan on giving the babies to some deserving 4-H children (gotta have a plan). Thank you for any responses, we are more chicken-goat-pig people.
