Unexpected baby bunnies!! Please help!

Thank you so much for the help! I will go get a pic right now. They are Holland lops and I think we have five kits

What is the doe's age? Has she had kits before?

Those kits look great! The nest is huge and with five, they should be able to keep each warm in negative degree weather. I would leave them outdoors. Now, Holland mama's can be tricky. Sometimes it takes quite a few litters for them to learn how to mama! You'll just have to let her do her thing. They look like they have been fed and cared for!

The nest is perfect. If there are 3+ kits, they will be able to keep each other warm.

How friendly is the doe? How often is she handled?

She is quite friendly and loves to be pet and will climb up right into our laps. She doesn’t like to be held, but we play with her every day. Thank you so much for your help!

As long as she has a den safe from predators and out of the elements she and babies should be ok. Same concept as chickens, draft free space with dry bedding.

So it’s 34 degrees out, is that ok? They don’t need a heater?

With that nest, those kits should be good into the negatives.
