Recently, our flemish giant rabbit gave birth to around 6-7 babies (1 week ago) they seemed to be doing fine however we started to realise her tail began to be constantly wet and soggy with a sort of moisture coming from her anus area, We thought maybe she has the runs or something along those lines. However, 1-3 days after birth, we began to find babies dead scattered across her hutch, basically 1 a day. We thought perhaps she has 'turned' against them for some reason, possibly because of her age (around 8 month we believe).
This morning, we acknowledged a LARGE cyst/ absess coming out of that area and seems to be causing pain and panic for her, could this be her reason to be killing the babies?
Please help. We have 3 babies left and don't know how to keep them, should we seperate her and them?
