Hello! I have two female bunnies (blue torts), about six months old. My bunnies have built a nest (false pregnancy). How long do I have to keep this nest going? I would like to clean the hutch and get rid of the nest. Is this going to upset them? They are not aggressive or protective of the nest at all.

You don't have to put up with it at all, pull it out whenever you like
They may rebuild or their hormone surge may have passed

Are you absolutely sure that both of them are female? Many times, people have come home with two does... only to discover, when one is nesting, that one of them is a boy.

If there is fur - leave it, for the time beeing. None of my two does pulled fur at a false pregnancy (there are sure others that do), and when they do it is just a matter of 1 or 2 days and I have popples.
First make sure they are really does, when you are not sure seperate them until you are - they can get pregnant again right away after kindling. :?
If it's just hay, and both are sure does, you can remove the nest, just give them enough hay so they can act out that urge.
