So, here is my lesson from Bubble and F2's snuffles: cull early.
F2 had 9 two still born. She started blowing day of delivery. I steadily put down her litter as they developed congestion and started to starve. I just put down the largest and last this am as its was so congested it could not eat.
Bubble's litter grew slowly and became compounded when 3 of the 7 got entertis. I have put all but one down at this point. The last and largest never really developed anything and is now with F2. I will see if she nurses it out. Both will be culled out; maybe this week if they don't get along.
Lesson: cull quickly and decrease management issues. Rabbits will beget more rabbits and even a nice doe can be replaced.
