The Right Temperature

New born rabbits until their eyes open need to be at a consistent temperature of around 90 degrees at all times. 

You obviously could keep track of this with the use of a thermometer.  And when I first started raising rabbits, I didn't know other than using the thermometer how to tell if they were warm enough or too warm or what!

And it's really neat, because after doing it for a little bit, all I have to do is touch the baby and I know whether it's too cold, too hot, or just right.

It's a really cool thing to be able to know.  And with LE's single baby, I keep going out and making sure it's not too hot with the heat lamp, but also that it's not too cold when it goes into one of the corner's of the hutch.

So basically, if you have a litter for the first time and aren't sure how warm the babies are supposed to be, the answer is 90 degrees.  And if you keep raising rabbits, you'll soon be able to just feel them to know how those babies are doing.
