I'm just frustrated. This is the third abandoned litter so it's off to the stew pot. This last one kicked her lone baby out onto the floor and I found it screaming. She didn't even attempt to make a nest. I have to put the infant down because she won't accept it and none of my other kits are young enough to foster it out. Argggg!!!
 
These things happen. Some animals are just not made to be mothers.

This may or may not make you feel better. There is a hereditary component to mothering ability. So you are a lot better off without her. And there are any number of tasy recipes for older rabbit. She has given you a chance to try one.
 
I have also heard that the mothering ability is hereditary so you should cull out bad mothers.
