Subject: AMRIS Rodents & Rabbits Rabbit Breeding


Hi everyone I am new to the group my name is Leonie and am hoping to
find some information and help on rabbit breeding. We have four
rabbits well my kids have four rabbits LOL. A female rabbit on the
weekend had 5 baby rabbits unfornuately by Sunday all of them had
died. The mother didn't seem to be interested in her babies at all
my DH managed to get the last surviving rabbit to latch on to the
mother but by morning it appeared she had buried it underneath all
the hay. Is this normal for a first time mum, will she do this for
subsequent births or will she get the hang of what to do. My eldest
daughter was pretty upset by it and if this going to happen all the
time I think the best thing to do would be desexing. We have never
owned rabbits before so I really have no idea. Any advice would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks
Cheers
Leonie
