I have 2 does who have birth yesterday:
Vember is a Dutch bunny, she had 6 kits & is doing awesome
Clover had 5 kits (maybe more) but she ate the legs off two of them. I know that I can't leave her kits with her but can I put her kits with Vember's kits or am I stuck with hand feeding Clover's kits?

Thanks in advance!
 
Usually the only times the does eat parts of the babies are if they babies died first, and then the doe wanted the try to eat them to get them out of the nest, or if she was a bit overzealous when cleaning them up after birth. You could probably leave them in with clover. But if you didn't want to risk that, you can put them in with vember's kits, rabbits foster babies really well
 
Sweet, thanks! I thought that was the case (eating young) but I didn't want to chance it :) I'll put them back with Clover & see how she does.
