Moving Pregnant Bunny?

[UnlabeledMama]

This is Day 26 for Mocha and our larger hutch is finally done. Would it be okay to move her tomorrow? I'd be moving her from a 2x3 to a 3x3 and if she has kits in there she's going to be cramped.

I personally would leave her where she is for now and move her to the bigger hutch when they babies are 4 weeks old and starting to leave the nest box and travel around the cage.
I have had bad experiences moving does that late into their pregnancy and good ones, so it's really a toss-up that varies from doe to doe, but I never move a pregnant doe unless I absolutely have no choice.

Oops, I move all my does on day 26.

I move them from their outdoor hutches into my bedroom so I can monitor them and control the "weather".
So far, I've been very blessed to have successful and healthy litters.

Like I said, it varies. I'm really happy that you have had luck with moving them

My bad experience was with one doe in particular, but 1 bad experience is hard to forget even with several successes before and since. I just don't want someone else to go through the heartache I did.

This is her first litter, so it sounds like I should wait ....

I know exactly how that is.
