baby bunny not eating enough

[terrie mac]

I have one doe with 6 bunnies and another with 9. I just checked the one with nine bunnies and there is one that doesn't look like it's getting enough to eat. I was thinking about putting it in with the other doe with less babies. How do I go about it so she will except it?

Thanks!

You can just put it in with the other litter. There is rarely an issue with a doe rejecting a fostered kit.

If the little bun is significantly smaller than the ones in the litter of 6, it may have a hard time getting enough with them, too.

it would be better to take two of the largest kits and move them, leaving less competition for the littlest one if you are determined to save it.
