I remove the nest box at three weeks of age in cold weather and two weeks of age in hot weather.

I’ve often given them an empty oatmeal box for a few days so that they have a warm place to cluster together. Correspondingly, what can I use for a rabbit nesting box? Start pre-building the nest by placing a pad of clean corrugated cardboard on the bottom which has been cut to match the size of the floor. Then place a half inch to one inch layer of kiln-dried white pine shavings or Carefresh™ in the bottom of the box. Next, fill the nest with loose hay.Why did my rabbit eat its baby?Momma rabbits will also kill their litters in years when food is scarce. If she can’t eat enough, she can’t make milk to feed her kits so she kills them and eats them to try again another year. Another reason can simply be inexperience. First time moms can just feel overwhelmed so they kill and eat their kits.
