Okay so i wanted to know a little more information on this question i have. Has anyone done it? How dangerous is it? Etc.
One of my does lost her litter a few days ago and she has since been withdrawn, she rebuilt a nest and keeps checking it for kits. She wont leave her hutch and is in all honesty looking really sad.
One of my other does is due kits soon and i was wondering what peoples opinions are on allowing one of the kits to be raised by my doe who lost hers. She has milk supply.
I dont want to do it unless it is safe to do and would benefit my doe and the kit would be safe.
Ive heard of it being done with other animals but i dont know about it being done with rabbits?
Could she take it on as her own?
Would she still have her milk supply in a few weeks? Etc.
I need to hear all the advice as i want to fully informed before i consider this x.
Id like to point out that my doe who has lost her kits is not going to be rebred.
