She has always been like this. She is not bony and she is pretty alert. I have also noticed she is always licking/ biting at her paws (front and back) and she is always stretching out her legs. She does not limp when she does move, and doesn't act like she is in any pain tho. I have been...

Hi everyone!! Another question about my single little kit, she is almost 3 weeks (on Tuesday) old now (doing well) except I'm a little worried, she doesn't move very much. She doesn't walk around the cage or when I take her out and let her run around the room. She will walk over to me, or to a...

Update: my little kit is doing really well (8 days old today). my doe is doing a great job feeding her, and I have been making sure she is always warm!! (So spoiled already,lol) thank you everyone again for all the help and all the info!!!

Thank you everyone for all the help and info! I really appreciate it. The little kit is doing really good. I have am still getting to change the hot water every few hours for him. When will I not need to worry about him getting cold?

Update: thank you everyone for all the help. I loved reading about your single little kit Maggiej. My last little kit is doing well. I got up every 3 hours to put new hot water in the water bottle to keep him warm. He is definitely well fed, he has the biggest belly I have ever seen. Last...

Could I put in hand warmers (in a sock) for him to be able to sit on? Or is it dangerous if my doe chews them? Any tips for keeping him warm all night long, or should I get up every couple hours to put fresh hot water in the water bottle? I read that a single kit can be over fed, which can be...

yes the kits are inside (they were born and kept inside 24/7). I did put in a hot water bottle for her, thank you for the suggestion about that. The little kit died right in front of me, I had her a a heating pad, she was warm to the touch, moving around, and then all of a sudden she just...

Update: I just checked on them and my little kit has died. :( Now I just want to keep my at least my last kit healthy and alive, any tips on keeping the last kit alive? Why do you think my other kit died? She wasn't cold, when she died?

My doe gave birth to 5 kits on Tuesday, one was still born, one did not survive the first night and one this morning got out of the nest box and I found her dead (I tried warming her for over 2 hours, but she was already gone :( so now there are only 2 Kits left. One is large and has a Plumb...

Thank you both so much. I rebred her a few days ago, so fingers crossed all goes well this time. I was definitely I complete reck not knowing how they could have died,since they were so active in her stomach. So thank you for giving me some closure

My doe (a lionhead mix) gave birth to 3 stillborn kits yesterday. She had them between 12 o clock noon and 3 pm. I checked on her at noon and she had not had them yet, I felt her belly and I could feel them moving inside kicking all around and being really active. I checked on her again at 3 and...

That is good to know. Thank you everyone so much for all the info :) Let me know if you post a thread, I would love to see the pictures :) That is very exciting!

Thank you everyone for the info :) Here is a picture of my broken doe and the young buck I am Thinikng of keeping. Both are a pretty orange color and have long fur. Do you think breeding them together (when he is old enough) will be a good idea? What type of health problems can Charlie's have?

Is it ok to breed a broken rabbit to another broken? If so will all the kits have broken patterns? Or what will their patterns look like? I was thinking about keeping my (now 7 week old) broken Lionhead buck and breeding him to my broken Lionhead doe when he is old enough. I can post...

Oh I did not know that about the mold. I have kept the bale in our garage (I keep the bunnies inside). They do seem to be eating it, just not a lot of it. Do you think I should get them new hay? I have had the bale in the garage for about a month and a half now. Is that to long to have kept it?

Thank you both. I will give them some oats and more hay. Now the hay I give them is just hay from a big hay bale (like the same for horses) should I be giving them a better brand of hay ment for just rabbits? Or is the hay bale hay ok for them?

My doe had 4 kits back on July 8th (so they are 4 weeks old) and recently they all have had really soft poo (doe included). It is getting all over their cage, and all over them. I have so clean them off at least 2 times a day. The poo is not liquide, it is just mushy soft and very smelly. Are...

Still no kits,but I haven't tried the lavender yet (can't seem to find any) I can still feel the kits in her (but I can't feel them moving). I tired the tums and i put her with my buck a couple times. I'm hoping she will have them tonight or tomorrow. But I will keep looking for lavender to give...

Thank you every for the advice. I will give her some tums tonight and massage her belly. And I will let her with my buck for a few minutes. If no kits are born by morning, I will try the lavender. Do you think there is any chance of them being born alive?

I believe she got pregnant around May 10th (give or take a few days) but I am almost certain she has been pregnant by May 15th. I will try and give her a tum and I will look for lavender to give her. Is there any chance the kits may still be alive, and if they are, will the lavender kill them...
