      Same thing happen to my bunny yesterday morning but I don't see she is feeding her and right now she is even burrying her children inside her hay and after that stomp them until they scream in pain. I sure hope they don't die cause this is her first delivered. She is just 5 months old for God Sake

      @@philipdahal5992 same thing with my bunny, she won’t feed her babies. so we hold her gently, keep her still and help her feed the babies. If you’re going to do this make sure you feed them 1-2 time daily. Hope this helps:)

    THANK YOU so much for the advice on how to get the babies to nurse on mama when she’s stopped feeding them. This is going to save the whole litter! Her nest had been moved and she abandoned them :(.
    I cradled her in one arm with her belly up, placed the babies on her so they could nurse, and pet her head and slowly fed her pellets during the whole process. I rotated a few babies at a time to ensure they each got enough milk and so the weight of the babies didn’t bother mom. Mama and I actually bonded through this! She became very relaxed and was chattering blissfully while her babies got milk. (In the beginning she was anxious and tried to jump away a few times). Afterward, I thought she’d flick her feet at me, but she didn’t! She wanted more pellets and head rubs, and then went and flopped nearby. :)

    My rabbit was nesting 6 days before she gave birth, and she was pulling her fur minutes before she gave birth.
    She has been a very wonderful mother. It was a beautiful experience to witness her taking care of her babies and doing everything to bring them into this world.

  • @patwhite7300
    @patwhite7300 3 роки тому +31

    Ignoring them is not anti-maternal, it is instinctively protective to not lead predators to her nest. The very act of her preparing a nest, pulling out her own fur! and feeding them is maternal.

    • @kelleymcclain7380
      @kelleymcclain7380 2 роки тому +2

      Exactly- they are prey animals and the babies have no smell. She stays away from the nest to protect them just like a female deer or alot of other prey animals.

    • @mitsubachihachi9643

    We got 2 bunnies 5 months ago and the told us that it was a mom and daughter.. but the daughter was a so. And.. we found 2 baby bunnies in the cage yesterday! So we were scared that the mom bunnies wouldn’t feed them but I think she is! Have a good day guys! Oh and I noticed if your bunny only has 2 baby bunnies make sure to put them next to each-other to keep warm and to know that there safe!

      My bunny just given birth an hour just now, it was two little kittens but sadly the second one died :( maybe it was in her stomach for too long and it maybe caused by the loud noise in my house since i have a lot of siblings and my mom were not home at that time so it was a mess and we didn't know that she's (my bunny) was pregnant!

    My does not a new mama but since we've had her this is her first litter for us. They're 5 days old, went out to count and check this AM to one baby half eaten, 2 dead and 1 left alive (lost one right after birth) so I took the left living bunny away to try and save it. After a feeding I noticed it had diarrhea is this normal for a bottle fed baby?

    I’ve never had a problem with any of my does not caring for their kits. By nature they only go to the best a couple of times a day to prevent leading predators to the babies.. most of my does are actually VERY protect of their nest/babies for the first couple of weeks. If I had a doe who didn’t care for her kits, she would be culled from my herd.

      @jashaylaallen7794 3 роки тому +1

      Rabbits are social creatures so if you don't have the time to spend with your rabbit (they need a lot of attention or genuinely will become depressed) getting 2 rabbits is certainly best and definitely get 2 of the same sex. Female rabbits are more territorial than males can be and your rabbits will fight to the death if they are same sex. If you are planning on becoming a bun parent, I highly advise you to research, research, research! Rabbits are highly diverse, sensitive, and complicated animals. Best of luck!
