Newborn Bunnies!
My bunny just had 5 babies, I didnt know she was pregnant! I think they were born 2 days ago. Here are some of my questions:
- Can I clean the cage?
-What should i do with them since i might not want them
-Can I hold them? and will my scent bother the mum?

BUNNIES!!!!! I love bunnies! they're so TASTY!!!!
now that we've established the awesomeness of the long legged rodent, lets get on with the answer.
yeah, you can clean the cage, just be gentle and not rude about it. do it preferably when they're all awake so you don't give them PTSD. the best way to deal with rabbits that you don't want, is to eat them. but since you obviously love bunnies in a different way, try pawning them off once they get to the size of a softball, some pet stores will take them. or a burlap sack in the river, but thats an old school method. wash your hands before you mess with them and wait until they're a few weeks old, that way their eyes are open and they're more alert. delicate is the word, in handling and texture. I hear they make lovely hats too.

Lucky for you when I was little my parents breaded rabbits. :)
Usually if they are new born you should wait a few days before touching them or the cage because the mother rabbit acts aggressive. If you don't want to keep the babies wait a few weeks until they are old enough to be away from their mother.
Put an add on creig's list or tell some friends abotu them. Or just look up local rabbit breaders in your area they'll be glad to take them :)
Thanks you
I love rabbits :)

I think that if you don't want them all, you should at least keep one or two & sell the rest. I'm saying to keep 2 because if you sell them all or give them all away, it will really affect the mother.
I think that site should help with what you're looking for, but if you don't want them all, keep a few & sell the rest.
