When babies are left with their mommy, she takes care of making the nest while she´s  still pregnant, she adds hay and fur that she pulls from her belly to make it warm for the babies.

If mommy is with humans, you can put a warm blanket on them to help warm the nest even more.

Never touch the babies with your hands, if this happens mommy might reject the babies and this is not good at all, as you know we are very sensitive to smell and our babies have our smell, if they lose it we don't want them around us anymore and most likely they will die. If you really have to handle  the babies, handle with mommy's fur, so that it is the fur touching the babies and not your skin.

But many humans will tell you, "I touch and have always touched my rabbits' babies and they don't reject it, that's a myth!"

Shall we analyze this sentence?

Tell me, who would say something like that? A breeder. Someone who uses and abuses his bunnies and makes them have lots of babies so that he can sell them and make a profit.

Although many humans try very hard to say that non-human animals don't have feelings, more and more people are proving that animals do have feelings and that the mother-baby bond is strong. A mommy will always protect her babies and want the best for them, but if this mommy is forced to have babies every month or every 3 months and after 45 days or even 2 months she will be without her babies for  whole life, this bunny will have no feelings for those babies, and so whether it is a human or a dog, she will let them move because she does not bond with her babies.

You don't want your bunnies to make money and sometimes accidents happen and your bunny is going to do her best role as mommy and protect her babies and that is why it is so important to respect her scent and space.

If something happens to the mommy and she dies or rejects the babies, in that case it is very important that you take very good care of the babies.

In a cardboard box or carrier of the smaller ones, you can put sheets of newspaper or strips of paper in the first layer, always try to use mom's fur to make the babies comfortable and warm blankets, in this case don't use hay. Always pay attention to the temperature of the babies, they are very small and have no fur, so they get cold easily, if necessary heat water and put it in a hot water bottle near the nest to warm them up.

Babies are blind and deaf during the early days and use their sense of smell as a way to orient themselves, so when you touch them try not to use strong smells like perfumes.

Until about the first month of life it is not convenient to touch us much, only in the morning and at the end of the day when we go to feed them, and if you want to peek during the day to see if we are not cold and if we are well, there´s no problem, the more close and quiet we are the better.

As we grow we will start to need more space, with one month we already start to want to explore and you can put our nest in a 80cm cage for example, leave the nest so we can get in and out when we want and in the rest of the cage put a fluffy blanket so there is no difference in temperature, a small bowl with hay and a saucer or a shallow lid of a jar with water for us to drink.

Each bunny evolves at its own speed, as they grow you will have to be the one to understand how you should adapt the burrow.

At 2 months of age they are already exploring, it´s important that they have more space, You can remove the box or carrier and remake it with just the blankets and the fur, you can introduce the litter box with pellets suitable for animals and if you want to put a perforated rubber mat over it so they don't hurt their paws, if they already drink water well, you can also change to a bowl, not too big, not too deep, add the hay rack and let them decide where they prefer to eat the hay.

At 3 months they are ready to leave their mommy and start their life, here it is already important to have a burrow for them like an adult rabbit burrow (see here ).
