We had a dutch rabbit, Trixie for the last 2 years. She was given to us at 3 yr old. For my daughters birthday she got a little baby holland lop Sonya. After we had her a week I noticed her breeding Trixie. I even called the breeder and have her double check that it was in fact a female (We had just gotten a kitten we named Sonya and it turned into a male lol then we got the rabbit.) So I never thought anything about it. I was told it was how they showed dominance. Ok, so a few days ago I noticed Trixie was getting fatter, but I thought it was just that we have had them out more and they are eating grass etc.
So my daughter comes in today crying and says Trixie is dead. I went out there and she was bleeding from her vagina. I said, it is like she is pregnant, so we picked up Sonya and well lets say HE is definitely a HE!
We did not know how long she was dead, so my mother and I (I am almost a midwife and she is a OB nurse) did a csection on her in case the babies were still alive. There were 3 babies in there, but they were not alive.
I am not sure what happened, I assume it was the birth and she was pretty old (we did not want her bred, we were going to breed Sonya, now Sunny, last night we even found a male for her)
I just wish I would have known, maybe I could have done something.
