Welcome to the Nest box! 

This page is dedicated to all of my litters as they are born and grow. I try to post pictures regularly so you can follow along with their development. It is truly amazing to watch them grow. They are born roughly the length of your pinky finger and reach about a pound by just eight weeks old!

Baby rabbits are born hairless and with their eyes closed. They depend entirely on the warm nest their mother builds using fur from her belly and soft hay to keep them cozy. Around two weeks of age, their eyes open and a soft coating of fur covers their bodies.

From two to about four weeks old, they enter the excitable, wiggly stage. This is when they begin to explore and play. You do have to be careful during this time, they don’t yet have depth perception and will happily run right off the edge of a table!

By five to six weeks, their individual personalities really begin to shine. They become more interested in interacting with people and engaging with their surroundings. Around five weeks old, they typically begin eating pellets and hay, and by eight weeks they are fully independent from their mother.

More litters due soon! Updated: 3/15/2026
