Question
My rabbit is 27 days pregnant today and when i checked her cage i saw an unformed kit which was very sad coz i have waited for her kits for a very long time pls i would like to know what caused this and when can i rebreed her

Answer
Dear Korie,

There are so many possible reasons for this that it is nearly impossible to list them all.  

Breeding is very hard on rabbits.  Please see:

If you are in Nigeria, the situation might be different with respect to rescues and abandoned rabbits.  But the intelligence and loving nature of rabbits is the same, no matter where they are.

I hope all will be well.
