Am I hurting the babies if I carry the mama bunny around?

Am I hurting the babies if I carry the mama bunny around?

Heylo,

Will I hurt the babies in the mummies tummy when i carry the mama bunny around?
I have to carry it everyday when i take her out to clean her cage.
I'm scared I might hurt the babies if she's carrying any.

Replies will be greatly appreciated!

I believe if you put too much pressure on the abdomen where the kits are, you may hurt them. I know for sure if you try palpating the kits at later stage of the doe's pregnancy, you will risk hurting or killing the kits. So, my answer to that is yes, it will hurt/kill the kits.

Try to limit handling of the pregnant doe to avoid hurting the kits.
