Hi all,
First of all, apologies if this isn't the correct place to post this, but there doesn't seem to be a breeding or "look after kits" section.
After reading a couple of rabbit books, and reading a few websites, I've finally become bedazzled by the sheer conflicts of do's and dont's between sources, and thus I turn to you!
My doe has finally given birth, and looks to have a healthy litter. I've seperated the buck from her a while ago, so he's not in the same cage as they are.
What actions I should take now are up for suggestion, as I honestly don't know which advice to best follow; some say take away the deformed ones (and dead ones), some say leave them be for a while, none speak about how to continue to continue feeding my doe.
Simply put, what advice would you give?
Many many thanks, and hopefully all of the little cuties will survive
