Hello, I would be grateful for any advice from other owners of rabbits.
We have a male and female dwarf lops and they have just had their first litter of 4 kittens.Tragically 2 of the kittens are white and were born blind , we consulted a vet and she confirmed there was a chance of pure white rabbits being born blind and for some reason coloured rabbits are far less likely to be affected.
My question is has anybody else had experience of blind rabbits , is it possible for them to have any quality of life or is it kinder to put them to sleep.We are willing to put in the extra effort if it means they have a chance of having a near normal life and really don't wish to put them to sleep but we don't want to cause them any more pain than they already have to endure.
Thanks
