Peanut syndrom in Hollands and Dwarfs

22 11:09:59

Question
Hi, I've raised mini lops/ Netherland Dwarfs for fifteen years. I have to explain about the fatal peanut syndrome to my College Genetics class & I can't b.s because my professor raises bunnies too. My question is what is the reason why one bunny is born much smaller and is unable to survive after a few days?  

Answer
Actually,if you read my reply ,I said that it happend through inbreeding,which in turn is also through the genes..I didn't go into great detail because that is all I DO know about it. There are different explanations,and your negative feedback wasn't necessary. But thanks for wasting my time in replying to a question you apparently already knew.  Pretty sneaky if you ask me,
