    Sure can. Make sure they have plastic over the wire part of the hutch to break the wind. Also a good next box and a lot of hay for nesting is essential!

    Looks to be around 5 or so....give or take. Found some info stating that you should trim their nails prior to labor so they do not hurt the babies.
