Bunny Boy had Bunnies..

Yep, unfortunately most of this stuff you gotta figure out along the way. It keeps it all interesting. I see you setting up a bunny obstacle course today.

Got any plastic garden chairs? Mine would always sit on theirs. Of course eventually the kids got up on it too.

Reall that works.....I definitely have stuff to put in the Coop to save Bunny Boy from those Nipple Monsters ..

This is one reason why the typical nest box has a partial roof to it; it gives the mother a place where she can get away from the babies! Of course, once they get agile enough to climb up there, they may take it over, and that can happen faster than you'd think.

They may drive their mothers crazy for a while, but at some point, most babies figure out that momma only nurses when she wants to. Make sure that food and water are within easy reach of the kits, and before long, you will see the kits feeding right beside their mother, without pestering her. I don't know what a doe's signal for "I'm ready to feed you now," is, but when she is willing, they all seem to get the message, and when she isn't, the little monsters will quickly find other things to do.

Mine would make a grumbly stomp that meant come feed. Eventually the kits stop nursing and she would still go in the nestbox and do it but no one came so I got to hear it.

Awesome...Yep she does sort of flip them when they pester her to much....They definitely have easy access to feed and water buy their nursery area. I guess I just shouldn't worry because so far Bunny Boy does a fantastic job with them. . I just feel bad because the little Bunnies chase her down.. way easier with Puppies and a Momma than bunnies out in a Coop..

Maybe this is just all New to Bunny Boy because the Bunnies have only left the nest two days ago so she needs to teach them manners?..
I definitely worry about all of them.
