Question
My rabbit had bunnies during the night I found five of them this morning three was in her nest and two was outside I am not stupid believe it or not but how do I know they are dead they are all cold I cant see any movement in their bodies and no breathing.Can it be that all five are dead.My rabbit seems fine just bald where she has pulled the fur from herselve.

Answer
Hello,

Sadly, if they are not breathing and are cold and listless they are dead. They will likely also have a blue tinge to them instead of being pinkish. They have been still born or perhaps got too cold. Rabbits need a nest box in which to build their nest.

I'm very sorry that you lost the kits.
