my doe had 6 babies during the night and wants nothing to do with them. has anyone ever hand raised a newborn rabbit? any help would be appreciated
baby rabbits
First, be SURE that she isn't feeding them. Rabbits send most of the day away from their young.

thanks catmad
Are they okay??
they seem tobe. i made a nest out of straw and put them in it. mama just lays there looking at them, but the are definatly breathing and moving
Crossing fingers toes, paws and whiskers :)
today she has made them a nest of hair and hay. they are warm, and thier bellies feel full, so hopefully she has fed them.
Good news.
Good Mommy :)
checked them, they still seem content
