I knew that, but it appeared completely healthy compared to other babies I've had in the past with other rabbits that had been accepted and survived just fine. Don't know if I should give this rabbit another litter.

Most people go by a the (editthree strike rule. Particularly for a new mom.

It happens. if she is a new mom give her another chance.

Rabbit droppings are excellent for the garden. Nothing better.

Do they have to "age" like poultry droppings?
Thanks,

Rabbits droppings I personally just scoop them up unto the wheel barrel and trow them in the garden beds and till them into the soil. I have even put them on the tops of beds with plants that the vegetables do not touch the ground. We do wash all vegetables and egg's harvested in white vinegar as vinegar is the only thing that kills E. coli. We also use vinegar on our counter tops especially when canning or preserving food. Another tip is if you will put a little vinegar in you canning water the jars will not have a cloudy film on them. And while I am at it I might as well tell you 1/2 to 1 cup of vinegar works as a fabric softener.
