So I have a senior doe - has had litters in the past for her previous owner but none for at least 6 months and poss much longer.
She didn't kindle on the first breeding.
She produced three kits on the second breeding but they felt cool to the touch in the well furred nest, moved very little, and were dead two days later.
She made a half-arsed nest this time, spat a mouthful of fur into it and that was it, no kits.
Of all the herd she is the grumpy one, grumbling and grunting at the buck, the rabbits that have adjoining cages, now and then at me but she is a color that I want to keep in the herd so if I can just get one litter out of her, result. I am beginning to suspect there is something actually wrong with her but she looks perfect, is active, eats like a hippo, drinks plenty and is lifting for the buck.
Any ideas what might be going wrong?
