Little story so you all get the gist..
I had 2 rabbits for my little girl, I thought they were both girls, until a few weeks after realising 1 was a boy. He had the op so they couldn't have babies. 5 weeks ago we found 5 beautiful baby rabbits in our hutch. At least 7 days old as they were due a clean. Mum and dad did a brilliant job bringing them up, both cleaned them and mum fed them really well. Monday morning we woke and mummy and 1 of the babies had died. Really upsetting time as I'd just lost my bird also (of 20years) me and my partner in bits mainly over mum but obviously the baby too. We moved them inside monday as the vets seem to think it may have been a fox scare. Babies seem to have been eating nuggets and veg fine. Monday tea time another baby died. This morning, another, so we took the remaining 3 babies and dad to the vets for a check. Babies weighed fine, eyes fine, dad healthy. White baby looking abit sheepish was given an antibiotic injection and the vets said it may die too. Trauma and lack of food. Anyway given syringes and food to feed the babies and something for dad. Fed 3 babies before work came home to another baby dead. We've just this minute lost our 4th gorgeous baby and are in bits. The last little baby isn't looking good either. Anybody had anything similar to this? Anybody can help? Will dad be ok? We have mother and babies waiting to be buried but want to wait (as bad as it is) to see the outcome in the morning. How do we move on from this?
