  1. Yes. Im sure it will be fine.

    Handle them gently and keep them close to the nest.. dont go running about the house or over to the neighbours with one (lol).

    If you are worried the mum will try to reject them i think the risk of that is extremely low now, and would have been from about 5 days old. If you are not convinced and the mum is friendly simply brush the kitten up against its mum on both sides before you place it back with its mates.

    Good luck with it!


  2. Rabbits?

    You will not get much joy asking in the fish section.

    Fish owners don't often get to touch their pets :(

  3. Kits? If your asking about a mammal, your in the wrong section! But to answer your question, if your talking about rabbits, the myth of "the mom will reject them if you touch them" is just that, a myth.....I would just watch them and make sure a larger animal doesn't make lunch out of them. If your talking about kittens, you can handle them, just not too much, they still need allot of mothers milk and need to feed constantly, once they open their eyes and are more active away from mama, then you can handle them more. Good luck from us fish-lovers!

  4. Kits?  Is that a new kind of fish?
