        Hi all,

        Recently my two rabbits gave birth to a lovely litter of three baby rabbits. (I do intend to keep all of them, but will neuter the father now and then spay the mother later).

        However, one has an obvious case of the max factor gene. The other has one eye matted shut. I understand that that is a case of ‘nestbox eyes’. 

        I would like them to be seen by a vet who may be able to help. They are both 16 days old. The non-max factor kit is lively and quite big. However, the max factor kit is half its size. I would like to seek advice on transporting them to the vet. I have pet carriers, but they are meant for bigger rabbits. What should I transport them in? Should I bring the mother along? And what other their other healthy sibling? Or is it too early to transport them around?

        Thank you very much!

          You can use the rabbit carrier, it would be the safest if there was a crash, but section off a bit and full it with blankets to keep the babies in. Bring all the babies, even the normal one, and bring the mother, but do not put her in the same carrier because the movement of the car may cause her to squish her babies. Put her in a seperate carrier, and bring her along so that she knows where the babies have been and knows the scents from the vets that will be on the kits.

            When I had to take my Rescue Bunny in for a base check recently I took the babies in with her, so for you it would be the reverse.
            Take them all then everyone can have a good check up. I put a small box in the carrier for the babies and Pandora went in as well.. The little square box kept the babies together and out of harms way in the carrier.
