In 90+° heat I've seen baby bunnies die so if they die it's probably cause 1. Too hot
2. Mama ate them
Or 3. Mama squished them

The manma is just not taking care of them. It is the perfect temperature So I don't think they got too hot

Rabbits

"Rabbits will eat their young if they feel threatened. Its an evolutionary adaptation for energy conservation. A doe expends a lot of energy during a pregnancy and would rather eat her young and get the nutrition rather than letting something else get it. Make sure the area where you doe gives birth is quiet and try to give her as much privacy as possible. When I bred my rabbits I would't stick my hand in the nest box for several days. After the babies are a few days old they are usually safe from cannibalism and it is safe to look at them however this should be kept to a minimum as to not stress the doe."


If you've held them that may deter her from them

Why?

I didn't get much sleep last night and it was a busy day today. I scrubbed down the kayaks, did yard work, babysat, and did a few other things.
