Hello,
Please be kind. I inherited two girls and noticed one was creating a nest, I checked the other “girl” and it turned out to be a boy. It obviously was too late and she got pregnant. I don’t have a lot of knowledge around looking after baby kits but I have done as much research as possible.
She had a large litter of 11. Sadly when we found she had them, two had not made it. They are only 5 days old currently. I am so so upset as yesterday and today we found a kit that was outside the pen with skin missing from the same area. The top of its back and its bum. Sadly neither made it. We woke up both mornings to this. Mum is friendly with us, she lets us stoke her.
Vet suggested mum most likely did it and could of been getting rid of the weak ones. Has anyone had this before ? I am so traumatised and scared for the rest. I am hoping she does not do it to anymore. Can anyone just give me any advice on this ?
Thanks so much
