Hi Sugarfoot37,
Sorry to hear this. It's so upsetting to see such athing. Mother rabbits don't seem to have that strongmaternity drive that dogs and cats do.
I'm not sure that we really know why mother rabbits do that.Some say it's because the rabbit thinks the baby rabbit is a mouse,some say it's stress, others say that the rabbit is lacking somethingin their diet. I've also heard that the rabbit may not knowwhat is coming out of her and will eat the babies as she wouldafterbirth, which would be as a result of her inexperience as a mother.
Is this her first litter? If it's not, I wouldn't breed her again.
