People have tried to offer advice. But most of us on here don’t have any experience of rabbits giving birth, so the advice available is limited. When animal welfare is concerned the tone of posts can appear harsh but you have mostly only received advice or constructive criticism. I’m sure people certainly haven’t meant to be mean, especially to you personally. I would also invite you to consider how your latest posts come across to those of us who are trying to help.

I personally started another thread appealing for advice for your situation.

I’m glad Layla is feeding the new kits, has the vet been able to offer any advice at all? I would ask the vet about the blood in her urine as a matter of urgency, you might be able to get some advice over the phone

I agree, people have been trying to help, I think your latest post saying you haven't received that is unfair and not very nice to all the people who have tried to help you

As I said, I think emotions do run high when animal welfare is the subject of discussion, I think maybe we should all try to put our feelings aside now, and concentrate on trying to help with the babies. I’m not sure if anyone who visits the forum now will have experience of a doe rearing 2 litters.

there are 4 new babies dad was split from her as soon as litter 1 was born only weird thing this time is in her wee about a quarter of its blood the 5 weeks old are starting to leave layla and eat on there own dad still in my room and layla in a good cage with new borns layla fed new borns last night only thing i’m concerned about is layla at this moment obv worries about thee older kits and new ones in the longer run but rn she’s my main concern drk how i can put it any bette didn’t realise she could get pregnant thro hh the bars that must be what happens but how?

1- Are you sure it is actually blood in Layla's urine ? Rabbit urine can be a very reddish brown colour as a result of plant pigments within the diet.

If Layla is still passing blood in her urine this is abnormal and requires prompt Veterinary attention.

2- Rabbits cannot mate through cage bars

3- If the 5 week old Kits are all eating hay/pellets and drinking water they do not need to remain with Layla. Wild Rabbits self wean at about 4-5 weeks of age. Just make sure that the 5 week old kits have no signs of unformed faeces, bloated bellies, lack of eating and that they all remain very active. Also do not introduce any new food to their diets until they are at least 10 weeks of age.

4- Assuming that you are in the UK then you will need to take into account the important issue of Vaccinations for ALL of the Rabbits
https://rabbitwelfare.co.uk/rabbit-health/vaccinations/

5- It should be possible to determine the gender of the 5 week old kits. If you are unsure then consult a Rabbit Savvy Vet

It is important to know the gender of each kit to enable you to separate them into Male/Female by the age of 12 weeks. Otherwise the inevitable will eventually happen.

Well if the emotions keep running high and people misinterpret things then arguments tend to start, one gets less help, and then threads end up having to be closed. I’m trying to keep this on topic, ie about your rabbits.

What did your vet say the one who is coming out to see mum and youngest litter?

farrah · Jul 30, 2018
