My bunnies had their first kits, and at 16 days old they seem to be doing great.
But now they are wandering from the nest, which is on the top floor of a two story rabbit hutch. One of them already just walked right through the hole and fell down. It seems to be doing fine and I was just there when it happened.
I've put hay on the bottom in case more fall down, and have put a wooden barrier in front of their "room", hoping the mom can get in there and the babies can't get out just yet, but this is a very temporary solution.
Any ideas that I can do to prevent more falls? I'm rather worried one will fall onto the ramp and get hurt. I thought about moving them to the ground floor, but they live outside and it's still rather chilly over here. The ground floor doesn't have a bottom and the sides are just chicken wire, so that might be too cold for them.
