Question
My rabbit is not a year yet and my sister's rabbit might be preganent so if my sister's rabbit has babies will my rabbit eat them?

Answer
Dear Lauren,

Rabbits are usually surprisingly gentle with babies, and if there are problems with cannibalism it's usually the *mother* who does the deed.  This is not because she's mean, but because she's stressed.  Please read:
