I think my mother rabbit got pregnant with a new litter of kits when she was days away from delivering her last litter. Is this even possible? Can rabbits be pregnant with two litters that are so far apart? The reason I think this is because despite our best efforts, our aggressive male (now...

What happened??!!

My husband and I were observing our bunny momma relaxing around the cage with her 3 week old kiddos and I saw the UNTHINKABLE... Right near her belly it was kind of rolling around a bit. Not a movement like her breathing, etc. I saw it first and my husband said I was imagining things. But then...

My momma bunny had 4 babies and there is one that is definitely a runt compared to its siblings. Just today I noticed it is showing signs of head tilt. Would the presumption be that with a three week old, this is most likely dehydration?

She had her babies on Saturday- almost a week ago now. I always put the clean litter box back where she pees, but she moves it out of the way. She has been somewhat matted a bit on her bottom...

My new momma bunny is making me crazy. She used her litter box for the longest time and has suddenly rejected it with pregnancy/new motherhood. She pees and poops on the hard plastic bottom of the cage even if there is fresh material in her litter box. She only pees and poops in that corner...

We just purchased a new doe rex bunny, and her breeder believes she is pregnant. She has been in her new (clean!) cage for 48 hours. When we first got her, she had some diarrhea, and I attributed that to stress, since now she is having solid stools and using her littler box. However, when I just...
