Question
hi, my rabbit had 2 babies that died straight after birth. She is now sat in her hutch. Do you think there is something wrong with her or she is just missing the babies. what can I do to help her.thanks

Answer
Sometimes they appear sad when the babies die. They really don't need any special attention, because by the next day they really don't even remember them. Rabbits in the wild are used to loosing babies, and this is all part of the natural world of raising bunnies.
