How many kits did she have ? If more than eight or nine I would move a few in to be fostered with another doe

I've had a few kits born with red, puff-looking feet and it always goes away in a few days. Keep an eye on it though.
She might have chewed the kit's foot a little.

Lol, sure....now I remember the story of that breeder....you can put smaller kits with a larger breed rabbit to foster them if she isn't feeding them, even if just for a few days to give that teat a break. But you have to look at which rabbits are your " most profitable or best breeders that you want to keep in the best condition.....meaning, I wouldn't hesitate to move and foster my meat rabbits around to other doe's if needed., but if I had bought a rabbit that I thought was a breed that I wasn't interested in keeping or breeding, I may just let mother nature take care of the problem for me.....
