New Kit
i don't know if this the right section but i couldn't seem to find a breeding section. i've posted this on another forum i belong to & this forum was recommended to me. this is a c&p of what i posted on the other forum.
bit in shock so bare with me. yesterday i got gorgeous english rabbits handed in to me mum, dad & 2 babies (5 months & 9 months). they'd all been living together & none are neutered. first thing i did when i got them was to separate dad & let the 3 girls have the largest hutch i have.
common sense told me that at least one could be pregnant so i thought about separating the girls as well but wasn't sure if i should as they're bonded. anyhoo, went out this morning & there's babies i the girl's hutch. not sure how many but they can only have been born last night or this morning. they weren't there when i did my final before bed check on them all.
now what do i do? i have a pregant female handed in to me before so i know what do with a litter etc but i don't know who mum is. do i really need to seperate them all & if i do how do i work out which one is mum?
then i found a dead kit & posted this.
this cannot end well. i've got a dead one, it looks like she's had them in the corner of the hutch then moved them to a nest. the poor thing only came to me yesterday afternoon & hasn't had chance to make a proper nest. the dead one was in the corner where i'm guessing she had them. i also think i've worked out who mum is, it's the 9 month old. she's got blood on her nose & i picked her up & she's got blood around her back end.
any advice/help is much appreciated.
