I rehomed 4 new rabbits a week last Saturday. They were supposed to have been given the all clear by the vet however one of them gave birth on Friday night to 4 babies. We had no idea she was pregnant. I have left her to her own devices only going in the hutch bit to check all babies alive and well. Unfortunately this morning 2 babies were dead. She'd made to nests with 2 in each and it looks like one had crawled out and they both died of cold (I'm only presuming). Now the other 2 are well buried under her nest of fur and hay. Am I doing something wrong to lose two or is this just nature's cruel way? Can someone please give me advice? I'm gutted that I've lost 2 and don't want to lose the other 2.
Many many thanks.
