Are you able to look to see where the blood is coming from? If you scruff them (like a mother cat would her kittens) that helps when trying to handle them to look and see or to palate them. I'm still very new to this but I have had 4 litters born within the last month, 2 litters surviving and 2 didn't. My latest doe that kindled had 2 kits on Sunday one DOA and the next was deformed but alive, I thought that was all she was going to have but she started bleeding over 24 hours later and when I came back to check on her she had had another kit. My other doe had only 2 kits and they were too big and we're stuck. It was her and my first litter, she bled like your picture for about 3 hours and had contractions the entire time. She lost both of them of course. I'm not trying to freak you out, hope I'm not! Just letting you know my experience which could be totally different than what your dealing with. Here is a website that has helped me a lot. hope your girl will be ok, keep us updated!

They havent bled at all since i first posted this and updated it. I've had the rabbits for 22 days now and they were to have been bred at LEAST a week before purchasing them. i'm leaning more to the fact that they've miscarried due to stress. will they pass the babies? is there a chance they could have passed and eaten them (gross as it is) without me knowing? i tried putting both my girls in with my buck, and neither took, which is supposed to be the #1 way to find out if theyre pregnant.
