Here's why:
* Instinct: Male rabbits are not programmed to harm their offspring. They are typically more focused on defending the nest and territory.
* Parental Care: While female rabbits are primarily responsible for caring for the young, male rabbits often assist by bringing food and water to the nest.
* Cannibalism: Occasionally, female rabbits may eat their young if they are stressed, malnourished, or if the litter is too large for her to care for. However, this is not common and is not related to the male rabbit's behavior.
It's important to remember that:
* Rabbits are prey animals and can be easily stressed, which can impact their behavior.
* If you are concerned about the welfare of a rabbit family, it's best to seek advice from a qualified veterinarian or rabbit rescue organization.
