Awe so cute

Tried and kit didn't seem none too interested really but it does suckle on a pipette. Not sure it's getting enough nutrients either. I'm worried . Below circled is the kit. Wonder why it seems blue. Its not cold its plenty warm here as you can see theyre uncovered.

I too would like to know about a specific kit. A little info.... kit was born 5/11 and there were 8 pure bred californian. 3 died within 24 hours . On day 3 I went out to feed early A.M and get my daily litter count and one seemed missing from nest. I searched frantically. These nesting...

Again, we didn't buy or ask for this rabbitry. This was an emergency situation for the previous owners... they didn't offer any good information.

We tried to bring a kit to the doe today and had no luck, the doe was making a pissed off noise... I'm feeding a kit now and hopefully it'll survive.

Lol I mentioned this excitedly before I completely read this thread lol

Perfect solution..go to YouTube and search " the rabbitey center" Bobby is amazing and he does totes..he buries them partially to keep warm in winter and cool in summer. I wish it'd be so easy for my set up. He's great though.

Oh yes me too, but one good thing is the way they come apart on the front you could flip the front down.. I dern near have to crawl in hell I might as well bed down with them too I get in so far. I have one cage someone gave me and the door on it is kinda odd it pushes into the cahe and flips...

They didn't. We received someone's rabbitry in an emergency situation. They asked if they could come back to visit them some and they've never returned in a year. I reached out with no avail. The only thing I ever got was who was who and how old they were. I just stumbled upon an old fb...

We don't have weasels here where we live...and rats IF they got to the suspended cage I'm sure they'd have to be small to get in because the wires on my cages are fairly narrow. Plus I'm thinking the mother would have noticed a commotion. We have cats that keep the mice snd rats and lizards...

It wasn't a predator. They are suspended cages more than 3 feet off the ground. There were no other signs and I caught her cleaning blood off of her face and legs .

Wait...so I need to remove some hay? She's got a LOT in her nest box..like some wouldn't fit so she just has it in her cage. Another doe I have kindled on 5/5 , had 5 kits and killed all 5...one of them she ate half of...handling them scares me now because I don't want it to be the reason I'm...

Unless you already see pooling of blood in fingernails lips etc..

She's older than 3 and she's kindled before. We didn't know she wasn't a good mother until after the fact...

One more thing. I learned 2 days ago from the youth that showed her said she wasn't a good breeder and mother. We didn't know until too late.

These were 5 days old and seemed very healthy.. yesterday even I did a count everyone eas moving snd had full bellies...

If she isn't a good mother she isn't worth breeding. It's a waste of energy for the both of us to breed her then for her to kill her kits.

I know that with kindling there's always a chance of casualties or expired kits. I know that within the first several days a rabbit can kill their own. I've experienced babies who didn't live, but I've never experienced a mother who ate heads and arms off of their young. I found this "murder"...

I couldn't even finish reading before I was all bug eyed snd ready to tell you I'm just over an hour from you. Stephenville area...is there a way we could private message because I'm interested.
