New Kit
Hello,
We've recently bought a new rabbit (8 month old Flemish giant) and she gave birth to a suprise litter (of 5 kits) three days ago.
Unfortunately one of the kits has passed away, it was about a third of the size of the others.
We now have three very large kits and another one that is very small.
The mother is feeding the small one but it seems not much (it's perhaps getting pushed out by the larger kits at feeding time)
I've fed the small one 3ml of kitten milk and put back into the nest.
Just wondering if anyone on here with more experience could give me any advice?
Is it likely that we will lose the smaller kit?
Is it normal to lose one or two babies? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
