So I've had 2 lionhead dwarfs for quite some time and i bred them twice, first time there were 5 kits, second time 8. I gifted the first 5 and the 8 are healthy and growing. But i recently bought a pair of lop dwarfs, and the day i bought them the guy who sold them to me bred her with his male. She was due the 22nd but, I've found one dead kit the 23rd, yesterday evening sadly but I buried him. This was I think her 4th pregnancy and shes only a year and a half old. Last time she had 9 healthy kits and they all survived, the seller showed me all of them. So I was hoping the rest would be okay. This morning I found another dead kit and buried him too. I'm sure they were dead because they were cold and stiff. This evening I haven't found any dead kits but I did find a bit of red liquid which I'm hoping is placenta and 2 peaces of flesh which I'm really hoping is peaces of umbilical cord, as I've heard they eat their dead babies. I really don't know how to help her, I've never had this happen to me. She has food water and hay all the time so I'm really lost. If you guys have any tips or advice to give me I'd really appreciate it.

There isn’t much you can do. You could have a rabbit savvy vet do an X-ray to see if there are more, but it isn’t unusual to have a failed pregnancy.
