QuestionHi. I just got a rabbit from my neighbor. She is a Satin rabbit, and she is about 1 & 1/2 years old. My neighbor had tried to breed her about 5 weeks ago, but he said it didn't take. I put her in a hutch separated from another male rabbit. He is a mini lop. Somehow the male got into her hutch about 3 weeks ago. (He squeezed through the boards separating them) Yesterday I saw her pulling her hair out. Today I went out there, and there were little pink things in her cage. They were about 1/2 inch long, and didn't look like a baby bunny or anything. They definitley weren't alive or anything. I cleaned her cage and removed them. Could they have been miscarried baby bunnies?
Thank you for your help.

AnswerDear Brianna,
It sounds as if your bunny did have a miscarriage. For her health and safety, it would be best for you to have her spayed, since unspayed female rabbits have a very high risk of uterine cancer. Please see:

and find a good rabbit vet here:

I hope this helps.
