i have breed my rabbits a couple of times now and basically you just let the mum get on with it. try not to disturb them too much . you prob won't even see her give birth because they usually do this in the middle of the night. she will start to pluck her fur and line a nest prob about 1-2 days before giving birth, and even then you probably wont' see the babies because she will bury them inside the nest. it's best not to disturb the nest too much but if the sad happens and a baby dies then the mum will remove it from the nest. at this point you can take it out but don't touch any other part of the nest as it will leave your scent on and mummy rabbit won't like it.
i have named my rabbits after coffee, cappa, mocha, latte but i have a baby rabbit left from the last littre that i was unable to sell. i can't think of any other coffee names lol
I was selling my rabbits for £10 each which i think is a fair price to pay. just to be sure that they were going to a good home. but i was unable to sell the last one, so i have kept it.
hope this helps

U are a rabbit breeder and don't know how to look after the kittens ?
If its her 1st litter she may very well destroy them , they do that sometimes ... if she doesn't then leave her alone the mother will look after them , u don't need to do anything , just keep the hutch clean.....and sorry but how on earth can u be sure of an exact date !?

You don't look after the babies, the mother does. Don't disturb them or handle them at all or she'll kill them. She needs a box with plenty of hay that she feels safe in. Leave them alone till they leave the nest themselves.
£15 is expensive for a rabbit. Are they a rare breed? Do you show them? They'd need to be show champions for that price.
Don't use one of those cheap hutches thats just a box with chicken wire on the front, you need one with a seperate compartment for her. And it needs to be bigger than an average hutch.

You are a rabbit breeder who doesn't know how to look after baby rabbits? That is a little unusual. http://www.rabbits-online.co.uk/ try these guys for support. The breed of your rabbits are important, without knowing that it would be impossible to guess at an appropriate price for them.

leave it all to mummy bunny, you keep them clean without disturbing them, sell them at about 6 weeks old, £15 sounds okay, check out local pet shop to see how much they charge.

when your bunny gives birth leave her to it don't go near the babies as there is a chance the mother could kill them don't now why they do it but they could. think they need privacy she will let you see the babies when she is ready
