Hi you should'nt be concerned but they do need weaning so if i was you i would take them away from their mother and seperate the boys from the girls because they do start mating before 12 wks as at the farm where i work one of the rabbits flash had babies and the two that wasn't sold were still in a cage together we seperated them at 9 wks and we think the female is pregnant as she is getting fat and started makeing a nest OOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPSSSSSSS !!!
