| Get a small shoebox or something that they can cuddle in with their mom. Use shredded newspaper as their bedding. The mom will feed them and take care of them. So, really you only need to provide the bedding. Make sure the mom has food and fresh water so she can make plenty of milk for them. The dad may do well to be in another cage so he doesn't bother the babies....sometimes the dads get hateful. If you do not have another cage you may be able to divide a section off for the dad in the cage you have. If other questions come up call one of your local vets. They are usually good about giving advise over the phone.

| The exact same thing happened to my parents, except they had 11 lol.I think you should buy some straw from the pet store, its not too expensive and the rabbits will need to be kept warm.I'd take the father out if you haven't already as the female could become pregnant again, you'll have to keep them apart for good or get the male neutered if you want to keep them together.I'd try and leave the mother and the babies alone and just make sure there is a fresh supply of food, hay and water available.When they are a little older you can sell them in the paper or a pet store, if you can't sell them see if you can find people who want to take them on or give them to a rescue centre.
