So.. My rabbit gave birth to 10 kits, on july 27th. I checked the morning after, and everyone seemed to be fine. The next morning I found 4 of them dead; three in the bottom of the nest, and one in the corner of the nest. I checked the rest of the kits, and didn't notice anything wrong. Then the day after - which is today - I found yet another dead kit on the nest. That's 5 kits - half of the litter! There were no bite marks, or scratches, on any of them.
The doe doesn't seem stressed, and the nest she build seems great too. She's had one litter before this, which did just fine.
What could be wrong?
