So, my first time mother rabbit Tribble, was not feeding her babies, so I fostered them to another mother in the same cage. I went out check on the babies and Tribble was feeding her kits! The babies are 11 days old and leaving the nest to explore, Tribble was feeding her babies outside the nest and I was wondering if this was normal?
 
Oh,yeah. If the kits catch up with a doe outside of the nest box, they will try to get a little snack. But if this doe really wasn't feeding her kits, her milk should have dried up quite a while ago. I'm wondering if the two does might have both been visiting that nest box.
