Our First Rabbit Litter

Doe (Rabbit Mama)
Our Doe was pregnant for 31 days. She successfully delivered five kits and they all made it. The Doe was always hungry so we made sure she had plenty of food because we knew she was producing milk for her kits. At night or during the morning the doe mother would nurse them. She also would put her fur on them to keep them warm. The doe would cover babies up with her fur until they grew all their own fur.
