Question

If newborn baby rabbits are touched by a human, will the mother rabbit have nothing to do with them then?

Answer 1

No it won`t hurt...

I used to breed rabbits and I was always touching the babies..

Answer 2

This is a myth, it's not true for birds or rodents either

Answer 3

Nope, that's just a myth.

Although, in the case of wild rabbits, it's best not to touch them anyway.

Answer 4

no. I held baby rabbits when I was a little kid. xp Although the nesting box should not be -too- big, or the mother may soil in there with her babies, also if a bbay crawls out of the nesting box when there all still so young, you should place it back in. And although i have seen mothers eat there dead babies, it's best to check the nest every day and remove the dead babies, and just keep supplying the mother with what she needs to stay up and healthy.  

Answer 5

the mother will not play with it or feed her milk to the rabbit and the new bron babby can not live

Answer 6

that is true because they smell a human

Answer 7
