Rabbit Giving Birth + Bunny Pregnancy Care Tips!

[@HooksHollands]

For those wondering about the new bunny, I did remove that video, as she displayed symptoms of illness soon after she arrived. She is currently quarantined and being treated with antibiotics for what was likely an illness induced by a combination of immune stress from changing environments AND she had been given a booster dose of BunnyVac just three days prior to pickup (which I was not told before purchasing her). I do not yet know her prognosis.

[@3mommaboys]

I hope she is ok 😢

[@drew6908]

I want to cry. Will she make it? I REALLY hope so.

[@luckypawrabbitryrescue5230]

Hope she feels better

[@annacolman1427]

Oh no, I hope she feels better. I will be praying for her. That is really sad. Let's hope for the best. have a good day.

[@stephanieallen3265]

I hope she’s gonna be okay I’ll be praying for her. That’s what happened to my bun to he was sick and was told that’s normal which wasn’t true. He had sniffles. I let the breeder know so he’s aware of it. But happy and healthy now. So I hope your little girl gets better. Can’t wait to see what you named her

[@tinabelak9109]

Thanks for sharing! Dont ever let the trolls drag you down, you are doing a fab job raising your bunnies and educating people!

[@HooksHollands]

You are so kind. ♥

[@carltauber2939]

Thank you for posting, it's obvious that you love your rabbits and do your best to care for them. I pity the haters. Can you imaging spending your time watching videos you don't like, and then complain about them.

[@karenc8773]

im sorry you get hateful comments. You take such good care of the bunnies!

[@typicalpixel8228]

I didn't even knew she got hate comments 😂 guess the good outweights the bad.

[@HooksHollands]

Yep, I delete them and ban the ones who threaten me. :(

[@synthia8703]

People threaten you? Why? It isn't like you are a bunny mill! You breed respectfully and only who you know will have forever loving homes! I'm against over beeding for petshops and county fairs etc. but that isn't what you do!

[@mysweetlife7548]

The babies are very cute and don't think about bad comments people just don't know how one feels if ones pet is a mother of just born babies

[@Richie016]

Watching these new bornes so closely is a very delightful experience.

[@annacolman1427]

OMG! They are so cute! It is so beautiful to see a rabbit coming into the world! Thank you so much for the experience! I love your bunnies and am very excited to see these new buns in your later videos! Keep doing what you are doing!

Oh they are so cute! What a good mama Cora is. Thank you for sharing her birth story.

This was so wonderful to watch! It is still amazing to see how small bunnies start out as! I am sure Cora will be a wonderful Mom! Keep up the good work!

[@lisaboo5806]

I think they are super cute with or without fur. Such a good momma. 💗

[@skiangel3962]

I am completely For breeding bunnies *Like you do* I am Firmly Against People who breed rabbits in the Hundreds.

[@HooksHollands]

Thank you :)

[@skiangel3962]

Hook's Hollands np. I have Three bunnies, Eden, Dawn, and my Buck Skylar. (Broken Sable, Solid blue tort, smoked Pearl) They are in Bunny Villas In my room. I breed my bunnies Each once a year. When people think of breeding bunnies, they think Wire Cages, 50+ rabbits. No one understands that there are good breeders like you and I. I did a paired breeding recently with a solid black buck, Eden had a daughter I am keeping named Tiana, In honor of Timmy, she’s A broken Black.

[@bunnybusiness3386]

@@skiangel3962 yass their needs to be more breeders like us (I have one Male one female my female is currently prego) and I am going to give one to my cousin and hopefully keep one I have a lionhead

[@626maggie]

Honestly I’m not a fan of many breeders, but it’s abundantly clear to me that you select your pairings carefully, and that you take such wonderful care of your rabbits! You know your stuff and have the most beautiful buns 💕 wishing Cora the best with all those little ones, and hoping your new doe comes out of quarantine healthy!

[@flowerpower4074]

Awwwww... You can tell how much you care for these guys!😍

[@christykoningisor9593]

This video was really helpful to me because I have been wanting to know a little bit more about rabbit breeding and kindling!! It is something that I'm interested in doing possibly in the future thank you so much!!!!

[@donnahampton7764]

I thought it was a great video and in good taste. A great way to teach children about how bunnies give birth and how the doe takes care of them. Thanks for the video!

[@lavenshaven5648]

First time get to see the kindling~ good job Cora mama~ the 5 kits look healthy beautiful angels♡ and whoever wanna hate, you are wrongly targetting a very loving responsible person here. If they really wanna hate on something, should go to those that aggressively breed without rest period for the mothers n cramped wire bottom cages with no freeroam time and no hay only cheap pellets.

[@justyeeeeeetit]

Wow I love the little beans! Seems like bunny momma life is fairly easy haha

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

Sooooo cute. Great job Cora.

[@alldabearz1983]

Congratulations to Cora! Her babies are adorable. Your bunnies are so lucky to have you watching over them.

[@Peonywinx]

I have absolutely no problem with, and am actually grateful for, ethical and responsible breeders. Without people like you we wouldn't have the wonderful rabbit breeds we have today. Adoption is always my first choice, but sometimes people just want/need a particular breed for whatever reason, and purchasing from a good breeder who knows and cares for their bunnies is always the way to go, rather than buying from a pet shop that may not know/care where the rabbits come from. Responsible breeders also know a TON about caring for rabbits, and are great educators about bunny care - as you so clearly demonstrate :D

[@libertykimball8641]

I raise and breed Holland lops and I am yet to watch any of them have there babies so I find this really fascinating to watch and see everything!

[@HooksHollands]

I've only witnessed it a handful of times over the years, mostly by pure luck (and that I'm often out in the barn with them or watching on camera). :)

[@libertykimball8641]

Hook's Hollands I have been very close to coming at the right time but not yet!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. My baby Fluffy just gave birth for the second time. Neither time was on purpose. We got two bunnies from a friend of my mom's. I'm 15. The lady that sold them to us said they were both males. One of them was not. A month ago Fluffy gave birth. We believe she got pregnant the same night. Well all four died. And she just gave birth like 10 mins ago. And this video was really helpful. I thought some stuff she did wasnt normal but turns out it was according to this. So thank you for that.

Thank u so much for such good informative videos, u r a great bunny mom, u really take great care of them , and don’t bother about the stupid hate messages, God bless u 👍

[@alvitrv8072]

I'm an Ohioan and happy there are breeders like you in my state. I hope to get a Holland Lop one day and let me tell you, there are not any in the shelters around me or pet stores so a breeder is about the only place I could get one. I'd much rather it be from someone like you who is responsible.

[@chasetherabbit4163]

I'm so excited I might rescue rabbits especially rabbits that their mother stops feeding for some reason or if they're lactose intolerant

[@gabbysway2]

Thanks for sharing. I used to have bunnies growing up. It brought back memories of checking on those babies for fat tummies. There's always one that takes more than the rest. 😂 My lop was such a good momma. 💜💜💜

Our rabbit gave birth today to 5 kits .this was her second pregnancy ,the first was unsuccessful as she only gave birth to 1 kit that died soon after birth..This time she seems a lot more relaxed building a good nest and pulling lots of fur ..hopefully they will thrive over the next few days and weeks.. thank you so much for sharing this information it has been very helpful..👌🏽

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! I've bred rabbits on and off for about 6 years now and I always miss the birth, my girls always have been ninja's of the night! This video is great for those that breed but also if anyone happens to have an "oops" on their hand or came home with a pregnant rabbit what they can expect.

thank you! this helped and also have a quick question, how long does a bunny mother feed there babies i have heard about 5 minutes a day? love your channel and im subscribed!

Thank you for the advice and the baby bunnies is so so cute take care🥰🥰♥️

[@wolfmistresswilderr6579]

My lop Nutmeg is going to have babies soon too, and I'm super excited. It was the 31st day since breeding for her today! I'm watching this to get ready. Also, I'm sorry you get hateful comments because you seem to really care about your bunnies. Edit: Day 34 (though we bred her again a day after the initial breeding just to be sure, so it might be 33) and still no babies. Should I be worried?

[@jasonbourne9392]

Very nice work. Thank you!

[@ashtynxxx9041]

Thankyou for this video! Even those who aren’t intentionally breeding sometimes have accidents where rabbits interact who aren’t meant to and it ends in a litter (or two litters in my case, note to self: giant breed teenage bucks will escape ANYTHING) and this info is super helpful ❤️ please don’t listen to idiots who are having a go at you for simply providing information ❤️

[@abdullahgm]

"Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, they're missing somebody, they're depressed, they're hurt, they're scarred from the past, they're having personal issues no one knows about, they have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you don't feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. If you are reading this, be sure to share this around to make others feel better. Have a nice day!"

thank you. this is very helpful.

[@Littledoe123]

good job so cute!

[@ruthlesslistener]

Tbh I don't understand why you'd get hateful comments about something like this. You're one of the most ethical rabbit breeders I see! All the cages are clean and well-cared for, the rabbits are healthy and clearly in gorgeous condition, they aren't overbred, and the babies are all super cute and obviously loved. Breeding pets when there are an abundance of adoptable animals can be frowned upon, yeah, but there's a vast difference between mass-breeding cats and dogs purely for profit, and ethically breeding critters like rabbits, who have shorter lifespans than cats and dogs and don't tend to flood the shelters the way that cats and dogs do (unfortunately; I love those animals as much as I do with rabbits, but they really shouldn't be bred unless you're looking for a purebred, which is...expensive and often not the best choices, given their health issues)

how do i know if it’s safe to touch the babies? i’ve been told by school that mum would reject and eat them if i touch one when checking for nest eye and fat bellies

[@C2K_Chuufis]

No, this will only happen if you some how smell like predator then she will feed them less times a day, but mothers rarely abandon their kits unless they've had a lot of contact with predators.

[@mrsgev613]

At 6:13, you write that you hold mom to feed any skinny baby. Can you show how to do that?

[@HooksHollands]

It depends on what the mom will allow. I held Cora gently on her side on a towel and held the baby to her with my other hand, cupping the baby in case Cora kicked or jolted. Some does are too skittish to make this a feasible option though.

[@synthia8703]

You can find some on Amazon. You can also try petco.com. I buy my hay(American Pet Diner Timothy Gold) and food (Science Selective) for my boys. It is MUCH cheaper to get it via petco.com. If you get repeat delivery (many time order options) they don't charge shipping. The best part is it comes right to your door! Oxbow is a good brand as well, but my boys are super picky! Hope this helps!
