doe gave birth and look at what i found

[Mary Ann's Rabbitry]

my doe gave birth to normal size babies.. except this one..

 

[MaggieJ]

Wow! That is tiny for a kit from a standard-sized rabbit! It has an undeveloped/premature look about it. Was it dead at birth?

 

[Mary Ann's Rabbitry]

yes it was.. weird eh?

 

[MaggieJ]

Yes, weird. :? If it died partway through gestation, I suppose that could account for it, but then one would think that it would have decomposed.

she had 8 babies normal and all alive.. then there was that one in there.. It almost like it was in a second pregnancy or something. I never seen anything like it.. She is the one that I video that I posted.

Probably just got crowded out. Nutrients all went to the siblings around it. There's also just the mysterious failure to thrive disorder.

It can be preserved in a solution of 70% alcohol and sold online. Seriously.

Curios sell like hotcakes, especially anything atypical.

I learn something new everyday. Here is a fetal rabbit $28 http://www.ebay.com/itm/fetal-rabbit-we ... 4aced01203

Heck that is $3 more than I get when they are alive.

What do you know... looks interesting anyway.

I had one like that just the other day! It was really dark in color though. It was out of a first time Satin doe who unfortunately kindled on the wire and overcleaned the kits, but they were all normal in size and fully formed.

Drat! :angry: I fed it to the cats!

I've had things like this on a couple of occasions, and I don't rebreed my does the next day/later in the day, so it's not a second pregnancy thing. I just figured they didn't finish cooking for one reason or another.

They do! I have 8 Flemish babies in Jars.
You have to be careful with shipping wet preserved items though there's all kinds of rules to go with it.
I also have wet preserved Ball Pythons and a female Veiled Chameleon! My friend's aunt's (maybe his grandma's, I don't really recall) dog had puppies who were unfortunately still born and he wet preserved them.
Being a collector of oddities I'm an extremely jealous man because he won't sell one to me! ):

Anyhow, to wet preserve you should always inject the specimen with 70% or 90% (I prefer 90% for injections) Isopropyl Alcohol and then submerse in 70% Alcohol. It's cheaper and safer than Formaldehyde. Injecting the specimen allows it to deteriorate slower than it would if in 70% Alcohol.

I still have all 8 of my flemish kits in jars, I've been thinking about selling them.
I just traded my red phase coyote pelt for two fox pelts
one is a "Silver" ranched fox, he's a very nice black and the other red fox, I believe also ranched.
