Question
Rabbit has 8 and only 1 is alive, she acts like she don't know what to do.  How can we keep this one alive.

Answer
hi brenda -it will be very hard to keep this one it looks as though the doe has either killed the others or just left them -its quite common for a first littter doe to do this.you can try and hand rear it but it will need feeding every two hrs with a milk subsitute.
