Hey, my rabbit had some babies on the morning of June 3rd. I noticed when I checked them that there was 2 very thin babies and one of them was very small. The one I believe to be a peanut passed this evening after I’d tried everything to help it live. I supplemented feedings twice a day, helped it latch to the mother, and checked up on it all the time but it just seemed to stay the same weight. It’s belly never seemed to bulge or fill up with milk like it’s siblings and it seemed to have a difficult time nursing. Does anyone think that this could have possibly been a peanut?
The other baby is slightly bigger that the peanut one and latches fine it’s siblings just seem to push it out of the way during feedings so I help it along as well. He does get quite plump but I’m worried about him passing as well. Is there anything else I can do? Is he possibly a peanut as well? I don’t have any photos of this bunny yet. I’ll take some tomorrow for everyone to see. I just want to know that I’m helping these buns the best I can!
