I have been contacted by a lady who has ended up with baby rabbits and really could do with some ideas of what to do as she has a problem with fighting now, I have copied her email and if anyone can give her some ideas/help as I have run out of things to suggest I will pass her email on to you
But l know have another problem l want to home them in pairs and keep one with the mum. but Wednesday l let the mum in the run with the babies for an hour and the little runt which is a female had its kneck riped open. l took it to the vets straight away and they kept her overnight and stitched it. By the time l'd gont the vets she had managed to pull 3 stitches out so they had to put 3 staples in. By the time I'd got home with her she'd pulled out one of the staples. l bandaged round her kneck but the stictches /staples were on the shoulder so it was difficult to cover. She has had her leg through the bandage and managed to pull it off a few times. Then l had to take it off cause she waspulling it tighter round the kneck. Its just holding together. l've had to keep her in the house and take it upstairs at night to keep an eye on it. Now l've tried bringing one baby rabbit in at a time to keep them integrated but she seems afraid of them and the other little female seemed to chase her so l'm wondering if it was the others that have turned on her and not the mum? What do you think? this is all new to me and l'm at a loss. l'm frightened of letting the mum near her or the others. I have offerred to have the baby rabbits neutered even the two l've homed when they are old enough. They are all 10 weeks old tomorrow Monday, Whats the best way to pair them all off and what would you suggest. l'm running out of space and as they are getting bigger they need more. l've also noticed a little sore on one of the males so possible they are all squabling between themselves.
l have 3 males and 2 females left. Thats including the little runt
