I went out to check on the animals a bit ago since I wasn’t out today, being under the weather. I looked in on the baby bunnies and the momma and saw that the momma was all bloody! I freaked! I thought she had hurt a baby. I checked her over and it looked like her privates were bleeding. I started a thread thinking she was having female problems and that she might die. The kits are around 4 weeks...not old enough to live on their own...and I can do feed them kitten formula... Anyways, something made me look in the hutch....I suppose I wanted to see if there was a hurt baby. There were 5 kits...brand new. One dead. I’m dumbfounded. A few weeks ago my old farmer friend told me that rabbits can actually have old sperm, in them in them and do this...have a second litter like this. Of course I blew him off. This is the same rabbit that got pregnant by accident by he4 bonded buddy who was only four months. She fiddled around with the hay for two weeks...but I didn’t realize what she was doing at first.... it was probably four-five when I put the post on here about her playing with the hay, and you all confirmed, that, yes, she could be pregnant...separate them. I suppose, at this moment it doesn’t really matter HOW it happened...although, I would love to figure it out at some point. Now, what the heavens do I do? I have these six, very active bunnies hopping everywhere...and four newborns. She pulled a TON of fur. There’s so much it was spilling out all over...but, still, those babies aren’t safe. Plus, would she reject the new ones? I’m not even sure she’s done, she’s still bloody..but, perhaps she’s cleaning herself up. Do I take the older ones out? A few at a time, as not to stress them? Man, this is a mess. She is a fertile Myrtle!
