Stillborns

Question
Should I let the doe eat them or should I toss them?

If I like a kit would breeding it with the parent have a greater chance of producing another like it than rebreeding the parents?

Answer
Hello,

Does will usually take care of still born or deceased newborns. However, if she has not already you should remove them and properly dispose of them.

Genetics are a game of chance, but your best luck would be to re-breed the parents. A full sibling will likely be more similar than an offspring. Your best bet though is to breed based on which animals compliment each other the best. E.g. If one could use more depth of body, breed that rabbit to another that is better in that area.

I hope that helps some. I wasn't sure if I understood the second part to your question. If I did not answer it correctly, please clarify and I will try to help.
