Unexpected baby bunnies!! Please help!

It’s much easier and cheaper to neuter the boy than spay the girl- but it all depends on your vet.

Yes, I was thinking about that. But I am concerned my doe will get uterine cancer if I don’t keep breeding her. Spaying her will get rid of that risk.

Yes they are all doing great
There is 3 of them and mom and dad are really good with them
Dad was with them from birth and never tried to hurt them. The biggest thing with the male is he can get her pregnant right after that’s why she got him fixed so it doesn’t keep happening ( that being said she could be pregnant again as he got fixed a week after they were born)
these are her babies

Oh my goodness they are all so adorable!! I am so glad they are doing well. Yes, I am also concerned that my doe is pregnant again cause my buck was with her for a few hours and I saw him mount her before I got them seperated. Oh well! What is your daughter planning on doing with the bunnies?

It’s certainly all good and all your choice, but the cancer issue is more of a mild benefit of spaying than a reason to spay. In my experience. I am not a vet! If you have the money to spay then certainly do so

Yes, they do look a little thinner. As you can see, they change quite quickly, and the change is pretty obvious.

I think they are still fine. Since rabbits typically nurse just one or two times each day, the bunnies can get visibly thinner and fatter depending on whether you look after they nurse or shortly before they will nurse again.

I would leave them until evening, then check again. They will probably be plump and round again then.

Ok, thank you! I will check them this evening and get a picture

Oh, that’s very interesting! Thank you! I will definitely talk to my vet about this. I would rather neuter him then her for sure

She is keeping one female and finding homes for the other two
She doesn’t have the space for all of them unfortunately
What are your plans ?

Yeah, same here! I am hoping to keep one or two, and then my best friend is getting two. I might have another friend who might want one, and then I will post the rest on FaceBook and find good homes

This is them this morning. They look a bit thinner, but not to much. Are they ok? Should I try to get another picture?

Does usually feed their babies very early in the morning.
Their little bellies are so small, so between feedings they’ll deflate a little bit. I wouldn’t worry too much, they look very healthy.

Ok, that’s great news! Thank you. I will post pics this evening and ask if they look a little better
