Question
My Daughters rabbit had young about 3-4weeks ago none of them survived she had put 1 in her feeding dish alive we then put it back with the other young the following day we discovered 1 dead and she had started eating another we then removed the other 1 and tried hand rearing but it did not survive today weve opened her cage again and she s made another nest and my wife has seen something move in the corner is there any advise you can give us we separated male after 1st litter

Answer
hi mark -if this is her first litter it is quite common for the doe to kill them as they are not sure what to do check the nest it sounds as though a bby is still alive and she may be taking care of it -take the doe out before you look in the nest.
