birth

Question
ok this disturbed me a little but my female rabbit was pregnant and when she had the babies she ate them all and I only know this because I found the remains of half of one... Im almost disgusted with her for eating them. Is this normal behavior?

Answer
Hi Naomi,
Sorry for your loss. Yes this is normal and can happen for one of 2 reasons. First if they were born dead and you don't get to them before she does most doe's will eat there baby's. The other reason could be she was frightened and in this event some not all doe's will eat them as a way to protect them I know doesn't make a lot of since but it happens.
