Mi Bunny

I do know how difficult it is for the first-time breeders to manage litters of rabbits. They are found to get bewildered and hence do fail to perform satisfactorily at times. Well, there is nothing to get perplexed and persistent determination and forbearance wins the race. If you are also new in this domain, you can do one thing. You can combine the litters in order that a fewer number of does become occupied with nursing. For this reason the does that are freed up can be engaged in rebreeding. You can also foster babies to balance out litters at times. Try to keep three to five babies in a rabbitry or nest.

Keep in mind that the destiny of a singleton, if left alone and discarded, becomes dreadful and this can lead to its death. Even if it survives owing to very hot climate or the use of a nest box warmer, then it remains at risk of being overfed, which can bring about splayed legs. Are you getting my point of view? It is the duty of the owner and also breeder to take care of the babies on a daily basis. On the other hand, you have to promote the growth of kits of the mother that are facing problems such as illness. What should you do if the death of doe is imminent? There is no other way expect to remove the doe from the cage and let it mingle with the new kits. You can let them stay together for a couple of hours before returning the doe to the cage.

Whenever you are engaged in fostering kits, you ought to place infants into the box without any special preparation. You can use small dots of Vicks VapoRub or a drop of vanilla extract above the doe’s nose.

What can be done if everything remains fine? Enable first-time moms to take care of their litters to help them add experience to their instinctive urgings. Try to sale bunnies and also to maintain does that have the capacity to generate more in the coming days. Last of all, make an effort to foster kits to dams who have dead litters. It is generally believed that this act helps them to generate live kits sooner.
