We have been having the run of bad luck that often hits when starting over with all new rabbits. Of the first batch of buns bred only one doe kindled and of her 4, due to a dog attack, only one remains. Its just under 4 weeks old and still not too sure its going to make it. Its a happy little thing but spends quite a bit of its time on its back due to healing legs.
So imagine how upset we were when the bred doe we were given had 4 beautiful kits and no milk or mothering skills.
AAAARRRRGH!
So, as a last ditch attempt to save them I remade the nest and popped it in yesterday evening with Flower and her one remaining kit. Was really hoping she would look at them and say to herself, "Gosh, I dont remember having THESE but they MUST be mine, they are right here!"
Kits are alive and kicking and fed this evening!
I wont breath easy yet as Flower had barely enough milk for her first four kits but so far, so good! What a good girl she is! :cheer2:
