She made her nest last night and was pulling hair. After she was done having them I moved them all out of the nest and made sure they were all alive and doing ok. I did the same thing this morning and there were still only 5. She was still pulling hair all day today. (Non Stop) This afternoon I checked in the hut and 3 of them were out of the nest. Therefore I checked on the others in the nest and there were 3 more. And I returned the other 3 back to the nest. Is it possible that she had 5 last night about 9 PM and 1 later on today around 3 PM?

Absolutely. It is common in the first litter that the littlies are born a few minutes or even hours apart. You've done the right thing in checking them out to see if they are OK, but you should limit your checks to once a day as it can upset mummy and she might abandon them. Also remember that she usually feeds them only once a day so they cannot miss it because she gets upset or something. Also you did the right thing in making sure they are all in the nest. Unlike cats, rabbits cannot carry their littles in their mouth back inthe nest and they really should be there all the time in their first week. Enjoy your little ones, they are the sweetest funniest loveliest things when they are that small. Cheers. Laurie

sure you should get rid of the ineffective one mom rabbits oftentimes purely feed there youthful 2 circumstances an afternoon early morning and at night while they wont get disturbed you should be waiting to tell in the event that they have been feeding in the event that they have around bellies ,if no longer you will possibly be able to choose to hand feed them additionally be sure you verify they stay interior the nest as some must be related to the mummy after feeding while she leaves them and that they might die from the chilly if no longer placed lower back interior the nest

I think so. Because she had them at night. So maybe one was a little late or there was a problem.
