How to make a rabbit nesting box and what to do before & after the rabbit gives birth (kindles)
A rabbit may normally start breeding at the age of 6 months for the small to medium size breeds such as new zealand whites and 8 to 9 months for the heavy breeds such as flemish giants and giant chinchillas.
You can put soft wood shavings in the bottom of the box for moisture absorption, then add hay to it for bedding. Once you do that, put the nesting box in the mother rabbit’s cage and let her take care of the rest. You want to put the nesting box in the pregnant mother’s cage about five days before she gives birth.
To complete this task I will need the timber, a wood saw, a metal hammer, wood glue and some nails. The nesting box doesn’t need to be very fancy, it just has to be big enough to accommodate the mother when feeding her babies, and tall enough to protect the babies from falling down until they are over 2 weeks old when they open their eyes and are able to get in and out of the nesting box on their own.
