Losing one newborn bunny daily

[Strix-Aliana]

Got a pic of smaller baby with two of the bigger ones as well as the current setup of the parents. They both seem to really want to mate…like they are literally trying to bite their way through the cage

I tried to get mama to feed little one but she flipped out on me. She proceeded to start scratching very aggressively…I don’t know how to do this.

How are your babies this morning?

How are your babies this morning?

The baby died and we have lost two since.

 

[SilverBirds]

I'm sorry

 

[SilverBirds]

Are your others doing okay though?

They seem to be doing okay. I’m trying to warm and feed one of them. I keep finding that the babies are always covered in dry urine and I’m not sure if I should be cleaning them.

The mother should be cleaning them. Since she is not, you probably should.

 

[SilverBirds]

What have you been feeding them? And how old are they now?

Ok. I wonder why she isn’t. This is her first litter….do they just not always do it their first time????

Almost a week. I haven’t been feeding the babies, isn’t the mamas milk all they need?
