can someone tell me how old baby bunnies should be until i can touch them and make direct contact, and what age they should be when they start doing things like opening eyes, jumping out of the box, when to start feeding food, when i should seperate from there mom, etc. i've had a lot of rabbits before, never baby bunnies
also, is a box NEEDED? people say i should get a box but i know people who don't use boxes for them.
and if you can't answer any of these questions, please don't answer "i don't know" or "maybe do this"
thank you xoxo
Answers:
You can hold the bunnies as soon as they are born. They open their eyes around 2 weeks old. They jump out of their box at around 2 1/2 to 3 weeks. They will start eatting their mother food when they are ready. You separate them at around 6 to 8 weeks old.
you shouldn't touch them until their eyes are opened and they begin to move around more and are getting close to jumping out of the box. if you touch them any sooner, the mother may abandon them and not feed them. you need a nesting box. go to your local pet store and pick one up. you should put shavings or shreded newspaper in the box 28 days after she was bred. you should seperate them when they are a month and a half to two months or when they start jumping out of the box.
