Young Bun
Around 7 weeks ago I rescued 2 supposedly female rabbits around 4 weeks ago on 9th Feb I woke up to babies the buck was removed immediately and on the 14th Feb was castrated and is still living on his own as my other 3 are all girls(luckily the new buns were quarantined from my others) anyway mum and her 5 babies are doing great however I just checked them and she has 5 more babies I'm absolutely gutted as I thought I'd got him out in time(she only had 2 when I removed him so was obviously still giving birth when he was removed) now I don't know what to do I thought I'd done the responsible thing getting him castrated as soon as vet could fit him in and keeping him separate but I obviously wasn't quick enough. She seems happy enough and both lots of babies seem fine she's not being funny with the older ones and the newborn look snuggly well fed and are warm. My problem is surely all these babies will drain her should I remove the older ones even tho they should be with her til 8 weeks or not. Again I'm absolutely gutted this has happened I feel awful but I genuinely didn't know they different sexes til I found babies so please no snide comments I just want what's best for my bun
