👍 Any kits?
There was one live kit with it’s ear chewed off on the wire this morning 🤦🏼‍♀️. She did not pull a nest at all. There was some blood in the nest box. I’m really hoping she didn’t eat them but have a bad feeling she did. I’m going to keep checking on her often. Anyone with advice on rabbits who eat their babies? Do you give them another chance at having babies or no? Gosh I’m not having good luck with this so far.
 
I guess I can’t confirm if she ate any babies. Idk if she had any others or just had the one baby and chewed it’s ear (or maybe her nailed cut it off 🤷🏼‍♀️). She ate a lot of Timothy and alfalfa hay this morning. I put the single baby in her nest box but I’m not sure she’ll take care of it 😢 I guess I will give her another try or two and may have to set up a camera in there to watch. She’s my only doe at breeding age now so it’s kind of disappointing!
 
Mirabelle had 6 kits today!

I would give her a second chance, you really have nothing to loose but $5 on hay if you buy in bulk 😂 I'm so sorry to hear this. Sometimes new mamas just get so nervous and confused. I'd definitely give her a second chance. I'm sorry this happened to you.

She could end up having more kits. Sometimes when a doe is cleaning the kits, she will accidentally bite the ear.

I’ve been checking throughout the day. If she does, I’m assuming she’s waiting until tonight. But since she didn’t pull a nest at all, idk if her motherly instincts have kicked in to take care of them. Guess we will wait and see!

Yes! I'm so sorry this happened. Your doe's will mature FAST though, so I wouldn't get too worried.
