Once again, I am super thankful to have you all at my finger tips for great advice. I've had rabbits for 1 year now and you all have helped me sooo much already. I had to work today but my awesome wife pulled momma out of cage today this morning and let babies feed on the swollen teats. It...
I've never noticed my milking doe to have tits this big. She also has never pulled this much fur off of them. She had a litter of 5 one week ago, 2 died. Is this normal?

Wow!!! This is awesome!! you all are great!! I posted this yesterday thinking I might get a response or two if I waited a day. Thank you all so much for your input and help. I was sorta freaking out. I had my wife hold the bunny after I rubbed the firm hemotoma looking thing with mouth wash...
This 5 week old rabbit has had this one ear flopped over for as long as I can remember. Today when I looked at it, it has a big swollen purple bubble/blister looking thing in it. Anyone seen this before?

I saw her rubbing her nose with both front feet. She acts fine other than that. The picture doesn't make it look as bad as it really does. I hope it was just the fan?
It's really hot in Kansas today, so I put a fan on my rabbits. I checked on them after about 4 hours and found this yellow snot and matted fur around momma's nose. Should I be worried?
We just had our second batch of baby bunnies born yesterday. The first group was born inside. Now our rabbits are outside and the weather is in the 90's here in Kansas this week. Momma rabbit has covered the kits with fur even in this heat. Is that ok? Should I uncover them? Bring them inside?
Edgerton Ks. I bought my first buck and doe from a breeder in Clinton, Mo. I also bought a doe on 3/27/13 from a guy in Shawnee, Ks. He turned me onto this website. I wonder if it was you? :D
