Jessica+Jynx
New Kit
Hi there, I'm new to this forum. I currently have 2 bunnies, both netherland dwarfs. One is female, around a year old and a beautiful white & brown colour, her name is Jessica. The other is a male, around 10 weeks old, and a smokey grey/black colour called Jynx.
I bought Jessica because I fell in love with her when I saw her in the petshop. A few weeks later I got a companion for her, a larger rabbit called Alice, which Pets At Home told me was a female. Turned out she was a male. Jessica had babies a few times, she only ever had 1 or 2 and they were always born dead. Alice has since died, she (or should I say he) was killed by a fox after it knocked over our hutch. Jessica managed to run away & hide in our tack room at our stables. I bought Jynx a few weeks ago with intention of having more baby bunnies.
My question is: what could have caused her babies to be born dead? Is it because the other rabbit was too large for her? It really was quite big, we didn't know it was a male until Jessica had babies - that was entirely not our fault. If the new rabbit Jynx mates with her, will her babies be okay because he is smaller?
I am fully aware that if she has babies again that they might not survive because of previous problems. If this happens then I am willing to get Jynx neutered.
I have attached some pics of both of them.
