You can handle your baby bunnies at any age, but preferably after 5-6 days of being born. If you handle them too soon, the mother could reject them and this makes things very hard for you. Unless you are planning on keeping them, then the ideal age for you to sell them or give them away is 6 weeks or more. If the mother ever attacks them, or is really biting them, then separate them and call a vet for more help. They will have a milk, specifically designed to hand rear baby bunnies.
We always hold our babies approx 10 days after birth~But we always try to do it when Mum isn't in the hutch as well....although she is always near by and she doesn't seem too bothered. I have always had a stroke of Mum (or rubbed some bedding) as to keep the scent before hand :)
You can hold them, a few days after they're born, but holding them too much is really stressful and the mama won't like it. Wild rabbits can actually die from it. So, be very gentle and wash your hands before and after to prevent any transfering of any smells or viruses.
Don't hold them unless they seem ready e.g if there mother is protecting them DON'T!!
Iff it's after ten days and they are relaxed and the mother has picked up your scent then you can .

I am un sure but I would let the rabbit go where she wants like in the garden or something and when she is out of the way hold them or wait until they have fur and opined eyes, when they start to really look like rabbits, so then the mother wont be so protective
Well our rabbits are about 5-6 weeks and we are holding them. And the mother is not bothered. And soon we will be selling them.
I'm holding them now and there only 1 week! The mum ant bothered about it.
I had bunnies and they were only 1 day old and I was holding them and the mother was perfectly fine with it!
I recon people should wait at least 9-10 days before taking the babies away from the mother.
I would wait until they are coming out of the nest box or the mother rabbit could kill them.
You can hold baby rabbits right after they are born I did n it was fine with the mother
I had some baby rabbits and I held them every day after they were ten days old but we only kept one and she will NOT let anyone touch her and if you do manage to touch her she just quivers and runs away.
