  Hello, everybody!!!
  
  My situation is the following: a little less than a month ago, one of my female bunnies escaped her cage while my male bunny was around (all my bunnies are not neutered because there’s not vet here that can perform that kind of procedure). So, you can imagine what could have happened between the two bunnies, right? So, I’m trying to prepare everything for the (possible) incoming babies. I already have a large cage in which the female bunny and the babies can be confortable. The problem is that the cage MUST be kept outside because its size. For older rabbits there’s not much problem because it’s not too cold; it’s around 9º C, which are 49º F I think. What’s more, I cover the cages with blankets and other things to prevent cold wind from entering their homes. However, I don’t know how much of a problem the low temperature would be for the babies. So for this, I thought of putting a hot water bag in the nest of the babies, so to keep them warm in addition to covering the cage with blankets, etc.
  
  Is it a good idea? Can you give me any other recommentations?
  
  Thanks for reading!!!

  Normally it’s not discussed for breeding but since it was an accident.
  
  The only thing you need to provide is a nesting box for her you can also get some nesting fluff i read to keep them insulated. The only thing you need to make sure is that you have to be alert for when the birthing starts and mommy thinks one of the bunnies is stillborn and tries to eat it or mommy eont let a peanut (weaker bunny) feed. There’s other sites with more detailed information but i wiah you best of luck

  Further, if you cant neuter, spay, and regularly vet your rabbits, how do you plan to take care of any possible babies that come from this? How can you ensure none of this will happen again, when you have double the rabbits?
