Very sad, but don't blame yourself. It really isn't your fault. These things happen. Big hugs.

Re: Dead kittens (rabbits)

im sorry, people might think this is harsh, but it needs to be said

you ignored all that we said about why you bred these rabbits in the first place, why on earth did you allow her to give birth in such an unsuitable hutch, first you had them fall down the ramp, now you had them fall out the cage? if you are so determined to breed you need to do things right, you need a single story hutch with small gauge mesh, that babies can not fall through, and rodents can not gain entry through

i am sorry that you have lost them, but hopefully you will learn from this experience, spay her, neuter your male, bond them together, and enjoy them both as the wonderful pets they are

for now you need to close off the run and attach a plank of wood, at least 3" high to the bottom of the mesh door, hopefully that will stop any more of these poor bubbas falling victim to the same fate

They are also ENTIRELY avoidable... How is it not the OP's fault? Sorry i don't want to be harsh either but pandering and going ;there there not your fault' when it clearly is does not help at all.

Get your rabbit and her kits into a suitable hutch, then stop breeding the poor thing!

Wow!!! How the hell did they get through the mesh of a suitable breeding hutch? How was the dog near the hutch anyway when a mother has young?
Sorry for the babies but in future make the hutch suitable and keep the dogs away!! I have 2 dogs and i would NEVER allow then near a mum with youngsters, not even in sight as this can scare a mum.
Im actually shocked at reading this

Re: Dead kittens (rabbits)

Re: Dead kittens (rabbits)

Well i cant say that i am surprised. I may sound like a complete bitch, but it is YOUR fault. You obviously have no idea what you are doing. You have no right to come on here expecting sympathy. In a sick and twisted way, this was probably the lesser of two evils for those poor babies.

GOD i am so MAD if anyone wants to know why, check out her other threads. Completely irresponsible.

Learn your lesson. Don't breed again. Didnt your fairytale end well?! Silly little girl.

Re: Dead kittens (rabbits)

My point on her other thread. Probably going to get told off for previous post but tbh i dont care. OP needs to realise that this behaviour is not on.
