Baby rabbit questions.

[mattyj198]

We have 2 VERY large angora rabbits. They are both male and they have their own cages in the rabbit house. We adopted 2 "found" female rabbits in the fall and they both love each other and can't be seperated so we keep them in the same cage. The one little ones is expecting. Can we leave her in the cage with the other female or do we have to remove one?

If these two does get along well, you probably can keep them together while the one has a litter. The only problems I have encountered with rabbits having litters when other rabbits are in the same cage involve either a persistent buck, or one doe deciding to dig in the nest box where another doe already has a litter. There is a chance that the wrong doe may claim the nest box as her sitting spot, leaving the pregnant doe without a suitable place to kindle her litter, but even that situation can be worked around.
