Will my pregnant rabbit make a new nest?

I got my 3 year old mini rex rabbit about a month to a month and a half ago, she started to nest about 4 days ago, I need every bit of info I can get, like can I clean out her cage and will she make a new nest if I clean the nest out?

Answer #1

I breed mini’s, and have found that. If its early on in the pregnancy. you can remove the nest. Just make sure you stoke up on more hay, for bunny to make a new nest. They are very smart, and know how to work around what you give them.

Answer #2

clean out most of the cage like the poop etc…leave her nest…she will be unhappy if you remove it…also dono handle lil bunnies…leave em alone for like a month I think it is..my hubby raised bunnies so I know a lil bit is all…he knows more..he is not here for me to ask etc…sorry

Answer #3

you could remove the nest but that would make the rabbit extremely stressed. it built the nest because its preparing 4 he baby bunnies..which are coming verrry soon. my advice is just clean out the cage of all droppings and stuff…make sure its clean and fresh..but leave the nest. maybe even add a little extra bedding in the cage in case the momm wants to build a bit more

Answer #4

she didn’t have her babies and its been a couple of weeks now, like 3-4, so I just threw it away, but I kept the parts that weren’t pooped all over.

Answer #6

hi my doe made a nest 2 week ago. I did end up cleaning the nest out and sunday she had made a new nest in labour and had 6 baby. if its quite early for your bunny to make a nest and it has spread and cant be salvaged then I do take the nest and clean the hutch. as this can sometime help the day before or while she ready 4 having them. but if you can take the nest out and clean the hutch then put it back then thats better for her she shud then make it bigger
