Rabbit Nest Box There are many types of rabbit nest boxes out there. People use everything from plastic bins to wire drop-down boxes built into the cage. We have tried a few with varied results and have settled on this design. These boxes work great for small to large rabbits. We have used them for Polish, Holland Lops, and Champagnes with great success. The sides of a nest box should be at least 6″ high to prevent nursing kits from being dragged onto the wire. The box should be heavy enough that doe can’t move or tip it. The top platform keeps the babies from being trampled when mom enters the nest. The shelf also gives mom a place to escape from pesky kits when they begin to venture from the nest
Uses of Rabbit Nest Box
Your doe needs a rabbit nesting box in her cage before she gives birth. This should be placed in their hutch at around 28 days gestation, a few days before she gives birth. If you place the nesting box in too early, she won’t understand what it is for as her motherly instincts won’t have kicked in yet.
