I have a 2 year old NZW doe that was at least 1 week pregnant. She looked clearly distressed this morning and didn't touch her breakfast (VERY not normal for her, she loves to dive right in.)
She even grunted at me a few times. I knew something was wrong. Came back to check on her an hour later and she was eating the evidence of a miscarriage. It was 87 here yesterday and today.
She is in the shade, with an indoor/outdoor hutch. Fresh cold water, frozen carrot. When I sprayed the afterbirth away with a hose, I could see the "beans" of what would have been babies.
Could the weather have prompted this miscarriage or what other reason would she miscarry? Is there anything I should do to make sure she is okay? Her bottom looks clean.
She is a very happy, healthy rabbit. Goes outside once a day in a run. She has had 1 previous healthy litter.
