Our small animal rescue took in 7 angora rabbits from the SPCA Canada on June 6. They were from this raid on May 8. They gave us all females. I fostered 3.

Unfortunately...it seems like whoever was distributing them to rescues didn't have the resources to sex them before transporting them. As you may know from my intro, one had 6 babies on June 8. They have a 28-31 day gestational period.
2 days ago, 1 more rabbit had babies. Yesterday, 2 more of the rabbits had babies. This morning, one of mine had 8 babies. Between the 2 of us at the small rescue fostering, we now have over 30 angora bunnies.
This is just overwhelming...I don't know why the SPCA didn't separate out the males from the females and spay/neuter them before distributing. The rescue I'm fostering from didn't spay them (my guess is because they were all females & felt there was time to raise the money, given that they were in the SPCA's care for about a month).
Any advice, help, or suggestions would be appreciated.
