I have a New Zealand doe that kindled two kits, yesterday. One was partially eaten on the wire, one was alive and well-fed in the nest box.

This same doe kindled and raised a litter of 7 last time. I re-bred her when those kits were 4 weeks old.

What would cause her to have such a small litter, this time around?

Are there any known causes for small litters in rabbits?
