Answer
Hi Catherin
Sorry to hear about your bunnies!

I would call a local bunny vet and take mum and babies in ASAP as this sounds nasty. If she's bleeding that could be a complication post birth and you may be at risk of losing her too. If the babies are losing circulation to paws that could indicate a genetic problem, maybe their circulation systems/hearts didn't develop properly?

Rabbits do breed for quantity and not quality so these babies may have never been able to survive long term if they were born with genetic anomolies. Do you know if any rabbits in her bloodline have had problems too?

I would recommend discussing this with a vet.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
