Anything special i should be doing, my doe has pulled fur and the babies are in the nest.

Answer 1

You can touch them. It is not true that 'if you touch a baby, the mom will disown it'.

You should give mama some good greens. Shes tierd, and had to feed thoes babbies. Make sure that everything is good for  the babbies.

Answer 2

hello there

the best thing to do for now now is to do NOTHING.you shouldn't be interfering them for now.the doe will nurse the babies for now.

the only thing you can do for now is to be patient.also,does may not always be there 24/7 to nurse the babies.that's when you come in.push her back to the nest to force nurse the kits.you must not touch the kits.let the mother nurse them.

also,if you're worried about how many kits you will have,it depends on the breed.

small breed:can have up to 4 kits

medium breed:up to 6-8 kits

large breed:10-12 kits

have a nice day and good luck!

Answer 3

Just leave her alone and don't touch the babies. Make sure she has plenty of food & water too.  

Answer 4

leave her completely alone, dont even bug her. Its a good thing she is pulling fur because she is making a nest for her babies, dont bug her for the  rest of the day and dont touch the babies, the mother can reject or eat the babies if she gets to stressed.

Make sure she is looking after them, she will not stay in the nest with the babies, she will only go in there every 2 hours or so to feed them so if she isnt in her nest after she has them dont be alarmed.

Keep her in a quiet place and make shre she dosent get stressed out. You can look at the babies in a few days depending on how friendly your bunny is.
