Hot Kits ?

[Racingjunky]

We just had our second batch of baby bunnies born yesterday. The first group was born inside. Now our rabbits are outside and the weather is in the 90's here in Kansas this week. Momma rabbit has covered the kits with fur even in this heat. Is that ok? Should I uncover them? Bring them inside?

You can remove some of the extra fur so the kits can cool off a bit or just pull it back a bit. Some experienced does take care of this themselves. Don't discard any fur though... It's a good thing to have a supply of fur in case a doe doesn't pull enough or the fur in the nest becomes too soiled. You will need to watch your weather for temperature dips at night and make sure that the kits don't get chilled.
