We got babies!sorry for the bad pic jessica kept photo bombing lol

She has her fur beside them it's not real cold out but should i try to put it on them?

Congrats! If the doe is okay with you reaching in there you could move the fur to cover them up a bit. The kits will wiggle around and may uncover themselves from time to time. Good luck with them!

Thank you i cant tell how many are in there yet it looks like a bunny pile but theyre wiggling around she doesnt mind me petting her and she will eat out of my hand shes not crazy about me picking her up though maybe ill try to put some fur on them before dark if she doesnt do it herself its all around the babies but just not on them im sure she knows more about baby bunnies than me

Congrats on the live litter!

The babies will crawl around quite a bit; they instinctively seek the warmth of their littermates. If they wander out from under the fur, they may die of hypothermia; that's why nest boxes are usually scarcely bigger than the doe. There should be a sort of hollow somewhere in there where most of the babies are; I would put any wanderers in there and make sure all of the fur in there, too. The doe generally does nothing about actually moving the babies around, so if they wander away from the nest, they usually die.
