Hello everyone.. Im just wondering what went wrong?? My rabbit Nala gave birth to 6 babies.. I thought she was looking rather fat, but my male and female are kept seperate except when there cages are cleaned out, so obviously she got pregnant..
I am currently looking after a friends dog who was barking constantly at the cage but couldnt get in there.. Could that have contributed? As she was stomping her feet, scared. I didnt notice she had given birth until today when i went out and discovered 6 dead babies.. They were scattered around the cage so im ssure they werent born dead as they seemed to be moving.
Nala had ripped out alot of fur so they were well covered, plus there was hay and wood chipings in there. She had plenty of food and water as well. I think the rabbit were a few days old as looking at pics on the internet they were bigger then new born.
My husband had noticed the ripped up fur about 2 days ago, as i have been ill in bed with morning sickness so he has been feeding nala. I just feel like i wish i new she had had the babies coz maybe i could of done something more. The hubby didnt look in the top bit of cage so hadnt noticed they were born. I feel terribly guilty to nala and was just wondering if anyone could explain what happened?? Thansk Mel xx
